Claude Sonnet 4.6 is our most capable Sonnet model yet. It’s a full upgrade of the model’s skills across coding, computer use, long-context reasoning, agent planning, knowledge work, and design. Sonnet 4.6 also features a 1M token context window in beta.
When I was reading Richard Dawkins about evolution, one example stuck with me: the giraffe’s laryngeal nerve. It connects the larynx to the brain, but in a giraffe it runs all the way down the long neck, loops around the aorta, and then comes back up. Logically, it should run straight from the head to the larynx. But the giraffe evolved from a short-necked ancestor that already had this loop around the aorta. As the neck grew, the nerve simply stretched.
AI agents generate 98% more PRs but reviews take 91% longer. The work didn’t disappear — it moved. A synthesis of eight perspectives on where it actually went.
As an aside, I received a lot of positive feedback on that essay, thank you! (And I’m sorry that I still haven’t responded to some of you. My inbox is a disaster for a variety of reasons.) The wild thing is that I received zero negative feedback. My pet theory is that it was simply too long and nuanced for casual drive-by critics and that anyone who stuck with it did so...
Making software used to be easy. Well, easier. Twenty years ago, desktop software was software. 99.999% of that used a mouse, keyboard, and monitor. Most were web-based–using plain HTML, CSS, and a (relative) sprinkle of Javascript. Frameworks existed, but there were less of them. Was it limiting? Oh, yeah–to the point of claustrophobia.
If you are still debating “Optimistic UI” versus “Loading Spinners” in 2026, you are fighting the last war. The paradigm has shifted. We aren’t just building offline-capable apps anymore; we are building Local-First apps where the client is the source of truth and the cloud is just for backup and collaboration.
Build a smooth horizontal parallax gallery in DOM/CSS/JS, then upgrade it to GPU-powered WebGL (Three.js) with shaders.
What makes streaks so powerful and addictive? To design them well, you need to understand how they align with human psychology. Victor Ayomipo breaks down the UX and design principles behind effective streak systems.
But in my early career, I worked as a full-stack developer and designer at creative agencies. Back then, we called it being a “webmaster.” You did everything: design, frontend, backend, deployments, the whole stack.
Eugene intentionally doesn’t show up on Dribbble as a solo act. As a Design Lead at Shakuro, he has spent years working on collaboration, experimentation, and shared visual thinking across a global agency. From product interfaces to concept-driven explorations, a lot of what you see on Shakuro’s Dribbble isn’t about spotlighting one designer; it’s about representing how the team thinks, builds, and evolves together.
If you’re trying to break into software engineering right now, in 2026, in the age of AI coding assistants, you need to understand something: the bar hasn’t just moved. It’s been launched into orbit.
Our State of the Designer report explores how designers around the world are upleveling their skills, keeping craft high, and turning new pressures into creative momentum.
Unlike the scrollable scroll-state queries, scrolled remembers the last direction you scrolled into, which you can use to build “hidey bars”: when scrolling down (or having scrolled down), the hidey bar hides itself. When then scrolling back up, the hidey bar reveals itself.
It’s mostly CSS! A li’l JS sprinkle just to position the ::picker() and the selected option together; the JS is nice to have, CSS does the real work.
If you want to continually refine your website-building skills and deliver better end products, performance, UX/UI quality, and workflow efficiency all matter deeply. As with many aspects of our digital lives, web design requirements, tools, and techniques are constantly evolving.
Everybody who routinely takes screenshots on a Mac knows very well the motor memory heaven and hell that are the screenshotting shortcuts: ââ§3 to grab the whole screen, ââ§4 to grab part of it, hold â ahead of time to put the result in the clipboard, press space at the right moment to select a window, hold ⥠at a different time to remove a shadow, and so on. (Yes,...
Learn how UX and product designers are adopting AI—from tools and workflows to challenges, impact, and predictions for the future of design.
Logos stayed fixed, color palettes were locked down, and typography rules were carefully controlled to avoid variation.
The “Productivity Paradox” is officially here. In early 2026, we’ve seen that high-velocity code generation without architectural oversight leads to massive technical debt. As senior developers, we’re moving away from simple autocompletion toward local-first AI coding agents that offer transparency and data sovereignty.
Prescriptive class name conventions are no longer enough to keep CSS maintainable in a world of increasingly complex interfaces. Can the new @scope rule finally give developers the confidence to write CSS that can keep up with modern front ends?
Flowbite is an open-source UI framework that you can also use to build applications for ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude using the Skybridge framework for building MCP applications
Creative ideas don’t always arrive fully formed — often, they take shape through exploration, trial and error, and refinement. That’s why we designed Adobe Firefly as an all-in-one creative AI studio where creators can work with the industry’s leading AI models and powerful creative tools, all in one place, to move from idea to finished work.
With our new AI image editing tool, Vectorize, you can turn raster images into editable vectors, allowing you to tweak, refine, and scale designs directly in Figma.
Peter Steinberger ships more code than I’ve seen a single person ship: in January, he made more than 6,600 commits alone (!!). As he puts it:
This week we’re taking a look at the workflow used to write production-quality code with AI, because this tells us a lot about how UX research and product design roles will change in the future.
I received 177 responses from senior designers and content designers. But the best response came from Joyce, a self-proclaimed non-designer.
In practice, the hard part isn’t writing code, it’s everything that comes before it. Which component should be used? Which props are correct for this case? How does this behave with keyboard navigation and screen readers? What tokens to apply?
OpenAI is shifting its focus to improving its flagship chatbot, scaling back long-term research efforts, a move that has led to the exit of several senior employees. The strategy change comes as the roughly $500 billion company faces mounting competition from rivals such as Google and Anthropic.
OpenAI just released a new macOS app for their Codex coding agent. I’ve had a few days of preview access – it’s a solid app that provides a nice UI over the capabilities of the Codex CLI agent and adds some interesting new features, most notably first-class support for Skills, and Automations for running scheduled tasks.
Last week an autonomous AI agent named OpenClaw (fka Clawd, fka Moltbot) took the tech community by storm, including a run on Mac minis as enthusiasts snapped them up to host OpenClaw 24/7. In case you’re not familiar, the app is a mostly unrestricted AI agent that lives and runs on your local machine or on a server—self-hosted, homelab, or otherwise. What can it do? You can connect it to your Google...
Are you unsure which Google SEO ranking factors will actually matter in 2026? Want to focus your efforts on the signals that genuinely influence visibility rather than outdated tactics?
