It’s pretty incredible how Meetup.com… killed meetups and communities.
Their pricing is unsustainable for non-US & free meetups. As an attendee who’s not paying, you can’t message people or see who is attending.
So everything is moving to closed WhatsApp groups, Slack, etc. Muh.

If you wanna stay up to date with what the web platform has to offer - and as a front-end dev you should - then Stefan's Web Weekly newsletter is *the* source to learn from. Week after week, Stefan tracks new platform features and articles and distills them into a handy, easy-to-digest newsletter ✨
And I'm sitting down to write Web Weekly which will hit all the inboxes tmrw.
If you care about the web and are into web dev fundamentals (you know: HTML, CSS and JS), you should check it out! 👇

You know what would be really useful on LinkedIn? The ability to search for people who are… looking for work.
But yeah, that’s not really their core thing.

One of the best things I ever found out about the lunar missions is the fact that we have a transcript from Apollo 10 where the astronauts argue about who made the loose turds floating around the command module.

It's amazing how much a component can know on the web, and I'm going to try and list it all out. Help me 🤓

More than *anything* the people who actually know how technology works, who actually build things, wish that people would treat LLMs like every other technology, and be normal about them. Don't build a religion about them, don't force them on people, don't ignore the problems. Just be normal.

Six weeks ago, I picked up a year-old tawny owl with a broken leg off the main road near our home and dropped him off at our nearest vet.
After a few days, I received one of the most bizarre phone calls I’ve ever had, asking “So when are you coming to pick up your owl?” 🧵
