I love the sound it makes too. Lol.
💖 On my blog, I have a “Like” button that can be clicked up to 16 times, filling up on every click.
This effect uses an SVG mask. A heart-shaped window sits in front of a pink square that slides up on every click. 😄
Here’s how it works ✨

So awesome to see Gusto joined the Rails Foundation and is now sponsoring @boulderruby.bsky.social !
On top of being a big fan of their offerings, they have a pretty big presence in Denver.
My wife has also worked there almost 7 years now so makes it even better.

Linear is a startup punching well above its weight in the speed&quality of shipping, supporting a large number of customers (10,000+ co's) with a small team (25 devs).
I sat down with Linear's first engineering manager, Sabin Roman.

In the past 24 hours, invisible_captcha has blocked 35 spam signups and allowed 4. No false positives.
This seems pretty good, honestly. Hope it holds for a bit. 🙏

I spent the last few days learning the SQLite C interface and writing a Go wrapper so I could access my database without the high-level abstractions provided by existing libraries. This isn't very pragmatic, but it gave me a reason to finally learn cgo, and how SQLite works under the hood.

Starting with open source feels like solving academic problems.
Building products give you real problems with all the weird edge cases. Extracting solutions from products ends up with extremely useful tools.

during my 4+ years with laravel, i've learned the importance of balancing open source and product work.
open source is fun, but product work? that's where the real OSS ideas come from, where you actually feel what it's like to use laravel in real life, with all its challenges.

with a tiny bit of JavaScript enhancement, take that CSS driven slider and give it "that little bounce™"
- use pointer-events to calculate an overdrag
- map that overdrag to a CSS custom property --stretch
- apply style
- profit 💀
(bonus points for only handling drag when limit exceeds)

Is CSRF protection needed for JSON APIs with cookie-based auth? If you require `Content-Type: application/json`, then cross-site HTML form submits will be rejected, and you should be good, right?
In Devise ecosystem, I only see token-based auth for JSON APIs, so I'm having trouble finding examples.
