This is issue 014 of href.email, your dose of interesting links about tech, dev and design.

Welcome back to another week of interesting links our team came across. We'll start with a batch of general web/programming links. AI-flavored stuff in the second half.

• The new HTML-in-Canvas proposal is going to open up a lot of new creative possibilities on the web, from realistic loupes on top of webpages to the growth hacker's dream unsubscribe pinball page. GPU go brrr.
• Anthony Hobday shared his notes on software quality. Core principles: reliability, speed, clarity, efficacy, efficiency, beauty. The post is also a great portal to more essays and real-world examples of how others think and act on (declining) quality.
• GitHub is adding first-class support for stacked PRs. Stacked PRs break big changes into small, focused pull requests that build on each other, independently reviewable.
• Adding a --dry-run flag to your commands can be a lifesaver to double check your output before committing.
• Some people do sports in their free time, some people crochet, some people port macOS to a Nintendo Wii and document the journey.

• If you ever need to copy/paste a webpage for your agent: markdown.new is your friend. Here's a bookmarklet for easy access: javascript:(()=>{location.href='https://markdown.new/'+location.href})() .
• Proof is a document editor for humans and agents to collaborate. It's a useful interface to have long conversations with your agent in as you're building something up, like a spec or implementation plan.
• Make agent answer like caveman with skill. Less words = faster, less tokens = less money.
• Liam Hammett uses soup & cookies to compare blindly letting your agents follow instructions against using your own skill & taste to guide the process. It's the difference between "it works", and "it feels right".
• Yak is an autonomous coding agent to pick up the small tasks. A task fits in a paragraph. Yak resolves it in a single pass. If it needs back-and-forth, it’s not a Yak task.
