Web developer, emigrant, nerd, pun-creator. Bleeting about code and miscellaneous distractions I find while I'm building internet things. Probably more optimistic than I should be, but I don't think that's a problem

Man, I love Astro so much. As if the automatic 100 performance scores and ability to use components from any framework weren't enough, it just has all the nice little things that I don't want to roll myself, like sitemap generation and internationalization. astro.build

Astro builds fast content sites, powerful web applications, dynamic server APIs, and everything in-between.

Font Awesome has icons in different weights. So, if you want to use a "regular" weight, you add the "far" class for "Font Awesome Regular".
They also have a "thin" icon set, and obviously the prefix class for that is "fat".
That is all.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

Shopify just auto-migrated my app to some "next-gen developer" thing, so now my apps need emergency reconfig. Of course, this happened right while I was trying to do ANOTHER emergency fix. Like, maybe give me 10 warning emails and let me migrate on my own time instead of randomly dropping this?

Part of my job is now reviewing and correcting AI-generated code, and while it has quite a few issues, the most annoying one is that it apparently just refuses to use SCSS. It can be working on an SCSS module with established nesting, and it decides to add its own unnested class right at the bottom.

My pointless Facebook debates honestly don't usually go straight to the other person straight-up admitting that they're pro-authoritarian and racist.

Confusingly, elements like radio buttons fire a click event even when they were selected via a keyboard navigation. Figuring out whether a user is navigating a form using arrows keys or mouse is more confusing than I thought it would be!

TIL that JavaScript primitives are passed by value whereas objects and arrays are passed by reference. So a = 1 will always be 1 if you pass it to a function, but a = { value: 1 } can be updated.
I don't often have to track state in vanilla JS, so this just somehow never came up before!

It's strangely comforting when my AI coding assistant just starts spinning in circles trying to figure out TypeScript. Me too, buddy, me too.

Sometimes AI is smart. Other times, it wants to use a switch statement to convert an aspect ratio from 16:9 to 56.25.

Pro(grammer) tip: naming all your variables in complex functions with just one letter is super cool and will make other programmers respect you. Why name something "indexOfSymbol" when you could instead name it "p"? Assigning the value of an input? How about "nm" instead of "inputValue"?

this is how i know the CIA is not what it used to be because they killed JFK for less than this.
It's so extremely wild to see that in less than 3 months Elon single-handedly is shredding decades of work the CIA did to build economic soft-power bases throughout Africa and Asia.

Just started using Cline (cline.bot) last week and it's basically the missing piece of GitHub Copilot! I know Copilot has an agent mode behind the insiders build of VS Code, and I'll definitely give it a shot when it hits the release, but Cline has been super pleasant to use so far.

This track is 5 years old, but the lyrics are about human roles being automated away and corporate overlords destroying progress... sound familiar?

i’m way too excited about a bluesky-based instagram replacement. i just really want musk / zuckerberg / all evil rich billionaires that control all online spaces to lose everything
Here's a preview of it in action.
Please ignore the media from the disabled media tab being rendered in the last test - I'll fix that

I'd recommend MJML - it provides a developer-friendly abstraction over all the workarounds that HTML emails require for various clients (Gmail Web, Outlook etc.).
Back in the day I spent way too much time writing `border-collapse: collapse` and testing things on Litmus 🙃

Someone has apparently redirected one of Musk's DOGE developers' former websites to a YouTube video about how Musk is plotting to destroy America, and I'm here for it.

I've lived mostly outside of the U.S since 2015, and I'm fairly up-to-date on places to go and the logistics of doing it. If anyone has questions about getting out, I'm happy to help!

Just set up the Bun runtime and set up a SvelteKit project with it in less than 10 minutes. Very curious to see how Bun stacks up!
