Author: Andrew Lisowski, Justin Bennett August 25, 2025 Duration: 1:05:27

This week we have Adam Argyle on the show. Adam is a designer and developer who is known for his work on VisBug and other design tools. He's also a member of the CSS Working Group and has worked on the dev tools for Chrome. If you haven't seen Adam's work that utilizes all the latest and greatest CSS features, you're missing out. Come listen to our conversation with Adam as we discuss his work on VisBug, his experience with the CSS Working Group, and his thoughts on the future of design and development tools.


Hosted by Andrew Lisowski and Justin Bennett, devtools.fm is a conversation with the builders shaping the daily experience of software development. This isn't just a technical rundown of features; it's a deep dive into the philosophy, challenges, and stories behind the tools that power modern code. Each episode connects you directly with the creators and core contributors driving innovation in open source and beyond. You'll hear candid discussions about the creation of front-end frameworks like React, Svelte, or Vue, the evolution of JavaScript and TypeScript runtimes such as Node.js, Deno, and Bun, and the design choices behind emerging languages like Rust and Zig. The dialogue extends into foundational web technologies-WASM, WebGPU, WebGL-and the infrastructure, including databases and deployment tools, that turns ideas into reliable applications. The focus is always on the human element: the problem-solving, the collaboration, and the vision that turns a concept into a crucial piece of a developer's toolkit. Tune into this podcast for an authentic look at the craft of toolmaking, offering both insight for your own projects and a greater appreciation for the ecosystems we build within.
