Overly opinionated software developer on the Angular team at Google. Web development is hard, so I build tooling that makes it easier.

Also if I try to use the `undefined` email, the page just breaks.
Also I'm 99% sure I already configured autopay, but somehow that just didn't take and I needed it to it again today. Seeing errors like this just lowers my overall confidence in the entire site.
Shame #PGE, shame.

Also, of *all* the communication settings they have, guess which one can't be configured in the web UI.
Like, I get why this kind of thing gets deprioritized, but it's *so* shady for this to be the one which requires an actual phone call.

One less visible aspect of #Angular #convergence is bringing the best of Angular to the internal #Wiz framework. Wiz itself has never had a DevTools extension, but always wanted one.
Since Angular signals are shared with Wiz, we are able to support #YouTube Mobile, a pure Wiz app!

What is up with this font? I feel like I'm being Spongebob'd.

What is up with this font? I feel like I'm being Spongebob'd.
Curious if any #webdev #font folks might have insight into why my font has misaligned backticks.
It's the #Lora font and looks fine with backticks on #GoogleFonts where I downloaded it, but on my web page it just looks bad.
I have no idea where to start with debugging this particular issue. 🤨

Playing around with #Cursor today and found this really messed up setup dialog.
It explicitly states that you *can* turn off training and presents this as an either/or choice, but then *forces* you to agree to it and buries the opt-out in settings.
Shame. 🔔

Getting ready for the keynote.

Getting ready for the keynote.
Got an initial (very rough) demo of some of the UX I'm exploring. Imagine this as a diff of two files (I know, there's no colors highlighting the diff).
Once synchronized, you can edit the first file and your changes are automatically applied to the second file, while retaining the original diff.

Here's another great example: A fire escape which just ends. That's definitely a safety hazard.
Not quite as bad as the missing window I found at launch, but stuff like this is just sloppy.

TBH, we're all basically copying the Elements panel of standard browser DevTools.
Maybe this is really an indication that browsers should have APIs to integrate with that view to display framework-specific information directly.

I've been investigating framework convergence from a #DevTools perspective and it strikes me that basically all the frameworks built the same extension which does the same thing.
Seriously, look at these screenshots, blur your eyes a bit, and tell me which is which.
