What "normal" people do to connect with people only works by virtue of some innate quality that you don't understand and take for granted because everybody has it. Well... everybody except for me.

To all those who gave me hate when I criticized creators and influencers for teaching their audience that now is a good time to pay $$$ for CS career courses ...

I usually associate tech influencers with dubious optimism but, recently on the Modern Web podcast, @dthompsondev.bsky.social admitted that 99% of applicants aren't even worth talking to. So, I wrote a about it: aggrippino.com/2025/05/99-o...

My version requires JavaScript, but with good reason and it has several advantages over the CSS-only version.

@kcg.bsky.social I'm gonna use the "Question Hound" meme in a post. I'd like to link back to the original author. It might result in a merch purchase or patreon patron. Do you have a link you'd prefer me to use? I'll just use your linktree link unless you tell me different.

I just committed over 1000 lines of new, untested code for my Webmention implementation.

I may have something to talk about at the upcoming Homebrew Website Club meeting 😅

I'm looking forward to today's Homebrew Website Club - Writing Edition

I really struggle with creating interesting content. I've got a lot to learn and I'm hoping to find some inspiration as well.

Hide this text for sighted users because there's a FontAwesome icon that represents it. But sighted users might mouseover the icon if they don't know what it means, so don't hide the text in that case ...

```
node_modules
.vscode
.env
```

#NodeJS

Graphical tools are great for a diff. For everything else with Git, the command line is much better.

#git
