It was a beautifully, busy week launching Depot CI, but don't for a second think that I forgot about our weekly post! This past week, we saved developers 258,790 hours.

Guess the cat is out of the bag! I've been writing PHP since the late 90's, and its growth as a language has paralleled mine as a developer. I'm happy and honored to be able to be a part of a group of people working to continue advancing the language so many of us depend on!

Now available: Depot CI 🚀 ⚡ CI was designed in 2015 when writing code was the bottleneck. That era is over. One engineer with agents is now operating like a team of 20. They're generating more code, across more branches, at a pace that would have been unimaginable three years ago. And all of that code has to flow through CI. Teams can hit 10x code velocity with agents today. But CI can't keep up. The slowest part of software development is no longer writing code. It's everything that comes after. Three years ago, we started by making the container build step faster. Then we made the runner faster. Then the individual build tools inside via remote caches. But we could only accelerate about 30% of the pipeline. The other 70% of CI, the control plane, the orchestration, the plumbing, etc., was always someone else's infrastructure. We could optimize around it, but we couldn't touch it. So we built our own. From scratch. Depot CI is a programmable CI engine built for how you're actually building software today. It's not a faster GitHub Actions. Think of Actions as a language Depot CI speaks — the first frontend to the engine, not the only one. Our own orchestrator. Our own compute subsystem. Our own plumbing. Prewarmed runners with your custom image already loaded. SSH debugging, CPU/memory metrics, parallel step support, and full API access built in. GitHub Actions syntax support from day one. depot.dev/blog/now-avail…

Really enjoy listening to this new podcast, thanks Adam! Food for thought regarding the two products you mentioned: love shadcn, it’s great and it’s free, but I sometimes miss flexibility, component variants, and more blocks I can drop into my apps. I’m not using Dribbble much these days, it’s full of great designs, but often unusable and completely disconnected from reality. If find Mobbin does a great job categorizing screens, UI elements, and flows from actual products, maybe there’s some inspiration to get there.

🎧 New podcast episode — what should we build with AI? I refuse to believe anyone actually wants yet another textarea-to-website generator 🙈

Dark mode variant that respects the `dark` class if present, but just relies on the media query if not 🤔 Kinda wish this was the default in Tailwind, maybe I'll tag v5 today.

Liquid Glass is a design cancer. It consumes and overwhelms everything it touches by adding intense distortions, drop shadows, lighting effects, and unnatural spacing to controls and UI in ways that make them harder to see and understand. It is pretty, and seductive, but it makes every interface it touches worse by prioritizing fun effects over common sense design principles like contrast, uniformity, readability, and sane information density. Liquid Glass is the antithesis of great UI design: it is fashion. Form over function. Great design “isn’t just what it looks like, it’s how it works”. And Liquid Glass makes nearly everything it touches look pretty, but work worse.

@bendukt This makes a big difference in usability. I would even add 5px top and bottom outside the parent element if there is nothing clickable behind.
