"it fixed CSS" 🤬
I'm maybe a bit unusual in that I'm comfortable with back-end and front-end code, but it makes my blood boil when CSS (or any technology, for that matter) is dismissed just because there might be a bit of a learning curve...

When the tech leopard eats your face
Last week, Adam Wathan of Tailwind announced that he fired 75% of his team.
Actually, that’s not true. He announced that…
75% of the people on our engineering team lost their jobs here yesterday
He’s the head of the company, but you wouldn’t know that from this comment. Gotta love that passive voice!
Why did he fire a quarter of his company? AI.
…because of the brutal impact AI has had on our business…

Good to see the Hambledon Protocol being observed over here. It never seemed to catch on over at the other place…
Welcome to new Bluesky users.
Here’s how we do things:
1. Always observe the Hambledon Protocol
2. No flisking
3. If someone tealights you, rink them without apology
4. I don’t mind them so much, but tissue-posts are generally frowned on
5. No questions
Good luck!

Just received a somewhat (nearly 2 years!) overdue 50th birthday present...
Was well worth waiting for, though: the Pink Floyd Wish You Were Here 50th Anniversary Deluxe Boxset.
4 LPs, 1 7" single, 2 CDs, 1 BluRay, plus other materials. Truly a thing of beauty!

It is completely glorious how shit this looks. Just magnificent work. Slightly different lettering. A bit wonky. Didn’t even remove “THE” at the beginning of the second line. Chef’s kiss.

Yet more birds of prey getting depressed, killing themselves, removing their satellite tags, then disposing of their own corpses. It's hard to believe, but the statistics don't like.
Either that or the shooting industry is involved. But that's a stretch of the imagination too far.

this is such a painful loss. my heart is broken.

In S17 of #Taskmaster, Nick Mohammed dressed as a vampire for his tasks. The production scrubbed all his reflections when he's dressed like this, but the only way I knew is because someone told me about it. It's subtle and very cool.

I've got a new (old) toy... 😍
Technics SL-P555 CD player from c1990, back when they built them to last (and sound great).
Slots nicely into my otherwise-analogue vintage music setup (Technics amp & reel-to-reel, Rega turntable).
