We liked our old look, but one funny thing about how things are going in the world: our old color scheme was too close to what happens when you ask Claude to generate a site, and so even though we paid a human to build it, we didn't want to communicate slop, especially because that's not what we did!
Nick Noble is our designer, he put in a bunch of work on this, and I really like it too.
I've filed a bug internally and we'll make sure to take a look. We don't use these animations in the product, only the company site, so this is the first time it's hitting a broader audience. I appreciate the report and sorry about that!
There will be a lot more of it soon :D
Small hint: A moving background layer makes reading supremely annoying, and for some people even (virtually) impossible.
Any other reccs?
The things I am most interested in right now are jj and llms. And the intersection between the two. I'm thinking a lot these days about how agentic development is changing our industry, with source control being one part of that.
Looking forward to using the VCS stuff you'll create :- )
Is it the animation at the top?
I opened up Activity Monitor and CPU use looked normal but it showed the GPU was pegged at 100% as long as that page was open.
Rust is the default language for all of our non-frontend web stuff, yes.
(Martin joined back then, but we are posting about it today, so we should have the post date as today)
Edit: a fix is in review
