UNDERSTANDING COMPLEXITY LIKE AN ENGINEER – THE CASE OF THE LADYBIRD BROWSER

Summary from the TLDR Web Dev newsletter

A group of volunteers led by a former Safari developer embarked on building SerenityOS and Ladybird browser from scratch to understand complexity. After encountering a crash while testing, the author of this article delved into the code, identified a CSS compliance issue, and collaborated with the developers to resolve it. The lesson for developers is that if you are motivated and skilled, you can single-handedly get very far. No complexity is too much to be understood.
