Find it still difficult to get used to the Mac Os Tahoe UI - after several weeks. Strangely enough, the high contrast accessibility feature does help me to cope with this abomination of a design

When 'Devoops' isn't even a typo 😅

"Turn it off and on again" is the most powerful tool in IT support. The art of the trade is knowing what should actually be restarted.

would it be a just yet another reason to use rebase-s only, or do I miss something? Since there would be no merge commits anyways in such workflow.

Software code should be simple and do clever things rather than the other way around

Grafana. Over time, I'm finding it more and more difficult to find my way in performing basic tasks like copying a dashboard 😅

Should really invest into promoting [lokito](github.com/mgurov/lokito) - a simple alternative/compliment to grafana for treating loki logs as a mailbox

with non-trivial questions offloaded to AI prompts, duck-duck-go has suddenly become a viable alternative to google for me 🤔

The migration to Cloudflare or similar is thus evaded again. One day....

TIL: github pages do work with git-lfs.com - with the custom actions workflow + `with lfs: true` of the actions/checkout@v4.

Mocking libraries are great. The widespread abuse of them isn't. That's the one of two major reasons the dev testing is often bad nowadays, IMO. Time to revisit a talk idea mgurov.github.io/talks/mockle...

14 May, Nieuwegein. Me and @jpjwolli.bsky.social will reveal the fallacies of the modern enterprise test setup: the fakes of the unit testing, staging environments and the testing pyramid in general. Salvation? Playwright to demo an alternative www.testnet.org/evenement/en...

So many ideas for more swift merge/pull request reviews..

Have been proudly resisting the urge to register a domain from the ages it was free... What would be a good zone? 🤔

Moved my [homepage](mgurov.github.io) to Astro.build ; If only I were spending nearly as much time on actually producing any useful content 🙈

🚨 80% of the remains of Ukrainians returned from Russian captivity deisplay signs of torture, says the Ministry of Internal Affairs, per Hromadske.

Worth stating simply what’s happening. An American government is launching a full-scope political & economic assault on an ally repelling an ongoing invasion to compel them to terminate martial law, topple their president, hand over minerals to America & accept a ceasefire w/out security guarantees.

I was electrocuted, beaten, stabbed in the leg and starved after being captured while defending my home and family in Mariupol.
We held back Putin’s invasion for several weeks while Russia slaughtered over 25,000 predominantly Russian speaking Ukrainians including women and children.

Wasted quite some time last year with my team following the official doc's recommendations, to end up rebuilding an app from scratch using plain @vite.dev - after which no more weird SSR issues.

YouTube video by Maximilian Schwarzmüller It's getting a bit ridiculous...

I love @react.dev, but there are two things that make me real sad. The first, and the biggest, is this nasty push via docs to use complicated frameworks like nest.js, for often much simpler setups would be more than enough. Especially for the beginners. This: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gzl7...

Ukraine not attending US-Russia talks in Saudi Arabia, government source tells BBC Elsewhere, European leaders are preparing for an emergency summit in France as the continent responds to US moves on Ukraine.

“Ukrainian officials will not attend Russia-US talks to be held in Saudi Arabia in the coming days, the BBC has learned. A government source tells BBC News that Ukraine has not been invited and will not send a delegation” www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cr...

Interesting idea of tracking the console messages. Thinking of adding a "fail on error" fixture to my react-js projects: github.com/mgurov/lokit...

Say Goodbye to Flaky Tests: Playwright Best Practices Every Test Automation Engineer Must Know A test suite is like a parachute — you only trust it when it works every time. If your tests pass today but fail mysteriously tomorrow…

Good read on @playwright.dev hygiene: medium.com/@samuel.sper...

A little piece of uncommon knowledge: a reason the U.S got entangled in the Vietnam War, was that during McCarthyism all the East-Asia experts were purged from the state department. Which gives you an idea of what long-term damage the purging of highly qualified people from government can do.

Like seeing this on rerunning the same test for like 50% of the times if not more

After months away from IntelliJ for front-end work, back for some Kotlin back-end... And it feels broken. Small things here and there, but surprising feeling especially after coming from vs.code
