1.) Discover there’s a deadly problem
2.) Work for years to solve it

6.) The deadly problem returns

Haha when they get into the .9 mm 😅 ok I guess that's a pain as well

Yea mine has 26" wheels, but they're fine. Just put new tyres on

I think its a 2004 Shimano Altus, luckily not that bent.

Yeah anything without a build step works fine. But if you're trying to get a 2010 Grunt.js config to work - oooph

I'm fixing up an old mountain bike that's been in the shed for 15 years. Some parts need replacing, but all in all pretty straightforward.

I wish software worked like that. If I try to fix a 15yo website, I'd spend days fighting deprecated dependencies.

Why I 🧡 the web.

Just draw the fish. Trust me. 🐟

I have a BSc in Web Development, and have been asked about a degree exactly zero times in 15 years 😅

I think that's called an a11y overlay

Love this! How about a "cursed" knob that will increasingly move things 2px off alignment or glitch your mouse pointer 😈

Working on a Shopify/Sanity/Eleventy project (a headless e-commerce thing) and boy that's a nice stack.

In a few years they're going to reintroduce the cascade but sell it as a cutting edge feature
