Belfast TradFest | Traditional Music Belfast When we started The Hearth session in October ‘23, I wasn’t sure how it would go.  Turns out, it’s landed well: 10-20 musicians…

Agreed! I’ve really been enjoying David Armstrong’s ongoing blog series about it:

The wrongest of takes.

have you noticed the slopagandists are always selling something?

"AI is inevitable don't get left behind—subscribe to my agentic SaaS"

they're even playing both sides: "omg AI destroyed my database?!!—buy my vibe coding book"

🙄

You kids today—no self-reliance. In my day, we went out and found our own videos of crabs riding on jellyfish, without any hand-holding. This nanny state, I tell you…

That video of a crab riding on a jellyfish.

That’s one creative crab!

Good point! (and composing like that is one of the superpowers of custom elements, in my opinion)

HTML web components Don’t replace. Augment.

The children *are* there if they’re in the markup to begin with: that’s what I mean when I say HTML web components:

Well, in this case (HTML web components) very few of them have this problem—only the ones that reference other elements in the DOM *outside* of themselves.

Most HTML web components are only concerned with the chunk of HTML they’re wrapped around so this issue doesn’t arise. No timing issues at all.

Not just any crisps. Taytos!

And not the faux-taytos you get in the UK either:
