Honestly, we were all better off with GeoCities websites. I post about React, scrolling graphics, WordPress, 80s jumpsuits, and dad jokes gone wrong. Richmond, VA - https://chrislanejones.com/links/ - #100Devs - #100daysofcode #React #WordPress

The Secret Rules of the Terminal, by Julia Evans - The cover illustration depicts three people doing arcane terminal magic in a temple with a smoking censer in the background. Each of the three people has curly brown hair and light brown skin. They are all wearing dresses, billowing cloaks, and utility belts with keyboard symbols on them. The one on the left holds a palette of paints and a brush. The one on the right has a staff with a $ symbol on it and a starfish at the top. The one in the centre has a sword and is reading from a book whose cover says β€œ>_” and β€œ./”, which rests on a lectern with a smiling snake wrapped around it.

we've already sold 1000 copies of The Secret Rules of the Terminal since it came out on Tuesday!!

so to celebrate I'm giving away 1000 copies to anyone who can't afford to buy one. You can use code BUYONEGIVEONE to get a free PDF copy if $12 USD is a lot for you.

16 years in business. 7 roasting our own coffee and 1 since we stopped taking on new cafes. Staff are pensioned, well paid and I hope happy. Seeming need for exponential growth in business is a lie. Knowing and appreciating when you've enough is a more than decent replacement. Lots never get that.

🀩 I’m very (VERY!) excited about CSS `ident()` – a feature I proposed and specced – getting prototyped.

This allows me to reduce the amount of CSS I have to write when multiple items that behave in the same need to have a unique name.

See brm.us/ident for an intro.
