Had this idea to go film something in the countryside but Melbourne traffic at all times is such that I cannot ever under any circumstances leave my house.

Do you actually like designing systems or do you just have anxiety?

Youโ€™ll also be learning from someone who cares deeply about helping others, even when itโ€™s of no benefit to them. You couldnโ€™t make a better investment

The benefits of learning CSS well are underplayed in the industry. Iโ€™ve seen clients as well as teams suffer, all because the foundations werenโ€™t there.

What youโ€™ll learn in Andyโ€™s CSS course - or working with Set directly - is the best antidote to that I know.

Anzac Biscuits Golden crunchy oatmeal cookies made with golden syrup, super easy! Egg free and stays fresh for 2 weeks!

Not at all, actually. I'm really partial to these, for example: www.recipetineats.com/anzac-biscui...

Is your preference for raisins more of a pro-dried fruit thing or an anti-chocolate thing or something else?

A quick google suggests my history of the provenance of rock cakes is way off. Apparently just promoted during the war

Forever traumatised by raisins in baked goods thanks to rock cakes.

For those not living under Empire, rock cakes were born of WWII rationing measures. My mum seems to have believed said rationing was still being enforced through the 80s.

Coincidence that the most fun Iโ€™ve had contributing to open source this year has both been with ATProto apps (@jameslyons.bsky.socialโ€™s PostsSky being the other one)?

This is unbelievably good on so many levels.

Wondering if I might ask what it uses to do the conversions. Culori?

Hey man what have you been up to the last six months?

Oh, you know, styling form controls just normal stuff.

My first advice to junior contributors is to STOP using vibe coding for PRs. OSS is always about people more than about code. We don't need more code generated by LLM, we need more people who care.

Lost an entire 12 hours to what turned out to be a chrome regression. I'm going to bed.

Did some Framer plugin development for a client thing recently.
First time looking at Framer in detail and wow the costs for anything that's not a toy project seem insane.
