I’ve been in the hospital for over two weeks now. Feels like an appropriate time to finally watch Bo Burnham’s "Inside".

I feel ready....

...also Youtube has basically stopped recommending my videos I haven't watched already.

How do they get AWAY with this? I mean, however American your accent might be, PRUSSIAN?!

Gunshi | Modern javascript command-line library Modern JavaScript Command-line library

I've tried a lot of CLI "building" libraries but Gunshi has been a lot of fun.

Good type safety, docs are great, can get up and running very quickly.

Just seen this video of a dog saying “Ello! Ello love!” in the style of an old cockney.

There are two problem-solving approaches:

1) identify a problem that you want to solve, then find a method that will solve it
or
2) pick a method you want to use, and go hunting for problems.

The second way is the stupid way, so it shouldn't surprise anyone that it's the default method in tech.

Liquid glass is so distracting, so garish, so impersonal. And I cant imagine its in any way accessible.

What the fuck they doing?

Wonderful scenes as the new pontiff appears on St. Peter’s balcony wearing the distinguished papal robes.

What it’s like watching the news now

Fun to see Github doing stuff like this. Thanks for answering my questions about AI training!

Maybe I’m naive, but I thought web/tech folks were better than to use slurs in attempt to make a joke about tech stacks.

Given the amount of people that still actively use a site owned by a Nazi, I guess not.

I haven’t read a word directly about this Atlantic leak story; I’ve pieced (I think) the entire thing together from people’s jokes about it here. It’s becoming like peak-era Twitter: a lazy news-watcher’s dream.

This feels like such a regression, a step backwards.

We haven't had to worry about if our devs have the right pnpm version BECAUSE of corepack just handling things.

No one better! Your YT vids are a must watch every week

Firefox finally built a profile management system into the browser UI itself and with it the last missing feature that prevented me from switching from Google Chrome full time!

Behind a flag currently but can be enabled via `about:config`

It's very weird going through my feed like:
* This cool new browser feature is launching!
* Polio is back!
* Here's a cool CSS technique!
* Your parents are moving in with you because the administration stole their Social Security!
* Look at this adorable puppy!

TIL: There was a scene in Austin Powers 3 that was cut, due to it being so moving that it caused moviegoers to not laugh for the rest of the film www.youtube.com/watch?v=sUnC...

Tough times for my fellow accessibility workers so I have cut prices on a range of shirts. Now only $US 12-14 (+VAT where applicable)

My obsession with Severance and the theories ruminating about online is admittedly getting a little out of hand.

TV hasnt felt like this in a while.

This is so spot on. Two things:

1. Being focused on producing output the fastest way possible means that you will never prioritize "going deep"

2. Going deep (and down the rabbit hole) is how you learn more: but you need to balance it.

Figure out how to do both: it's tricky!

need product differentiation?

overhire a #CSS front-end team and ask them to:
- polish whatever
- add delight wherever

and watch as your product becomes smooth and buttery while everyone else's gather dust and crust

UI is a huge space offering differentiation via quality

Transition to `height: auto` & `display: none` Using Pure CSS Find out how to easily transition to intrinsic sizes and trigger transitions when an element receives its first style update using new CSS features.

Great article on animating auto from @cssweekly.com
I really love that we can animate grid tracks now too. Lots of good examples in this one.

Things you forgot (or never knew) because of React If you don't often look beyond established comfortable defaults, you might be surprised to learn just how far the world of frontend has moved away from React, and how big that gap continues to grow.

This is a very good post that's worth your time to read. It has a good blend of history, valid criticism, credit-where-credit-is-due, and a fresh look at current front-end technologies.

Tailwind CSS v4.0 Beta - Tailwind CSS Preview what's coming in the next version of Tailwind CSS.

I had missed that Tailwind v4 is in beta - really happy to see that it has been possible to decouple from PostCSS. Very nice! tailwindcss.com/docs/v4-beta

This Amorim guy might know whats he's doing.

Just updated my handle to @seanogrady.me!

Nice to have that flexibility without needing to self-host an instance :)
