Dear ecom companies:

Sending out marketing emails that say "oUr SaLe BrOkE oUr WeBsItE 😜" is not the flex that you think it is.

Love,
devs who build to scale

Is anybody able to get anything done today? It’s basically Christmas Eve at this point in my brain, so after 1 commit I seem to be allergic to my machine.

This is dev libel. When I first started learning to program, I thought hoodies were a stereotype. Now I know they 1) keep your tech neck warm and 2) they act as blinders from outside distractions, not unlike the blinders of a majestic and purpose-filled horse.

If you use AI in your workflow, be aware that you might have to say "but Claude said [...]" in code review and that is going to make you sound like something sliced your IQ in half.

Ok, I don't hate CSS. It's just that my early-2000s MySpace markup experience didn't prepare me for this, the current year of our Lord.

The fastest accessibility audit: Tab through your site.

Where does focus land? Can you see it? Can you reach everything? Can you escape that modal?

Your linter can’t answer these. They’re also the only questions that matter.
