Moved tylerjfisher.com from vercel to netlify, took like 10 minutes. Still gotta rewrite the whole thing to not use next.js, but I've needed to do that for a while now. Will probably use Astro when I get around to it.

mentally and emotionally preparing for new Paul Thomas Anderson, thought I'd share one of my favorite essays I've written - about what might be his masterwork (though there are at least 5 viable contenders for that title)

To me, this is when the web began. Not the memo of an idea, asking for permission to work on it. Ideas are everywhere. An idea is not A Real Product. The day something ships is the day it’s in the hands of customers. Which, for the web, was April 30, 1993: yes webmasters, now you can make websites!

Autism isn’t an epidemic. It's not a disease. It’s a natural variation in how people think…which, frankly, is a relief in a world where most people don't think at all.

SCOOP: DOGE wants to rebuild SSA's codebase in months, risking benefits and system collapse, sources tell me.
The plan is to migrate all systems off COBOL quickly which would likely require the use of generative AI.

DOGE Plans to Rebuild SSA Codebase In Months, Risking Benefits and System Collapse
Social Security systems contain tens of millions of lines of code written in COBOL, an archaic programming language. Safely rewriting that code would take years—DOGE wants it done in months.

Whenever I hear people "moderates" talk about being in-between 2 "extremes", it really bothers me. Because I don't see it that way. I feel like everybody is falling victim to misinformation on a massive scale. The American left is not "extreme" at all.

⚓️ New Article: Can I Use for accessibility
Can I Use for accessibility
Accessibility Support is a web tool that’s a lot like Can I Use, but for accessibility features.
For any particular web platform feature (HTML elements, attributes, and so on), it details what the accessibility expectations are, and how well various browser and screen reader combinations meet those expectations.
It even includes details on how things were tested, what the expectations are, when it was last updated, and more.
What a fantastic resource!
