The author argues that CSS-Tricks, a web development knowledge resource that has declined under corporate ownership by DigitalOcean, should become a cooperative instead.

Y Combinator's newly formed Little Tech PAC has raised $200,000 from employees and executives to support 66 federal candidate PACs in the 2026 election cycle, with nearly half backing Republicans. The PAC, registered in December 2025, has spent $117,647 backing candidates ranging from progressives to conservatives, with a focus on supporting incumbents in Congress who work on AI and tech policy. The contributions appear designed to promote YC's "little tech" agenda of supporting early-stage startups and free markets over Big Tech dominance.
