  • Reading: "How do you do, fellow web developers? A growing disconnect." https://rakhim.exotext.com/web-developers-a-growing-disconnect "I feel a growing disconnect between my notion of #programming and younger web developers' notion of it… My growing feeling of disconnect gets fueled mostly by seemingly shifting notions." If your over… say 35(?) I think you might feel this. I kinda see…

  • Why I 🧡 the web: Someone built an "Anti-Tag Cloud" site that shows the most common (English) words that DON'T show in from famous #literature. https://www.bewitched.com/demo/anti/ For example "religion" in Sherlock Homes.

  • Write Books With the Block Editor https://wordpress.org/news/2024/12/write-books-with-the-block-editor/ The editor is wrapped 'in an app". The demo editor is installable as a Progressive Web App (PWA) in Chrome. #WordPress

  • Both of my twin teenage daughters – only sophomores in high school – are OFFICIALLY CERTIFIED IN ADOBE #ILLUSTRATOR. 🎉 I'm certified in… checks notes… NOTHING #ADOBE RELATED. Jealous. Amazes me that public high schools even offer this (Adobe partners with them). #proudDad

  • Loving page transitions in #CSS. Little effort and don't need to go overboard (yeah sure designers and developers never go overboard on new visual trends… lol). "Smooth Multi-Page Experiences with Just a Few Lines of CSS" https://htmhell.dev/adventcalendar/2024/3/

  • I think both things here can be true. 1. This is an amazing example of ingenuity, programming, and overall #programming smarts. Bravo and I think coders could learn something here and apply it. 2. This is also capable of adding to the (some would call it "slop" but i'll see "below average quality") content (in…

  • Back in my day of #Bootstrap (used to be called Twitter Bootstrap that's how old i am) a number of free code snippet libraries popped up – came in handy when you just needed 10-15 lines of code. Looking for the same with #TailwindCSS . Search for "Avatar" and get some results back I can…

  • Why I 🧡 the web. Someone built a site where you can scroll through all 16,777,216 hex colors in one grid. (If you ask "why" then i'm guessing you haven't had much experience with your own mad side projects). #frontend #webDev https://www.everyhex.codes/

  • My general rule when it comes to bots and new follows on social networks. 👉🏻 If you got an #AI avatar, you MIGHT be a bot.👉🏻 If you are following 999.9k+ users, you PROBABLY are a bot.👉🏻 If you call me funny and/or attractive then I KNOW you're a bot. 👉🏻 If you're asking for…

    Usually the Ring Doorbell "Neighbors" app is boring or cringy. But this is a gem especially if you listen to late 90s rock. This is real not fake (only removed location data). Even if it's staged, bravo. 👏🏻 #creed

  • Genie: "For releasing me, I grant you a wish. " "There are 3 rules: I can't kill anyone, I can't make anyone fall in love, and I can't bring people back from the dead." Me: "I wish developers would stop making new #JavaScript frameworks." Genie: "There are 4 rules…" #webDev

  • This is probably the best post I've seen so far about #coding and #AI. "The 70% problem: Hard truths about AI-assisted coding" from Addy Osmani. Bottom line? Accelerates work for experienced developers, learning tool (but hinders development) for beginners. It's a useful tool if you know how to use it… like most tools. I've personally…

    Designer: "Let's put the login button next to a delete button (that doesn't confirm)". 🤔 #webDev #UI #UX #memes

  • I miss the days when making your Mac trash can look cool (or like Oscar from Sesame Street was living in it) was a tiny guilty pleasure. Need that more in #WordPress. Let's make deleting posts fun. 😉

  • In reply to @davidbisset. #Shopify looks like had similar growth. #Wix didn't do so bad either. Sadly those in the top list with negative growth ( #Drupal and #Joomla both based on #PHP) are #opensource.

  • Looks like #WordPress grew %0.6+ to 43.7% marketshare (CMS) according to W3Techs. https://w3techs.com/technologies/history_overview/content_management/all/q At this rate we'll see 44% next year for sure.

    Hey #developers – be careful when you build automatic opt-out features, that's all i'm saying. #webDev #iOS #memes

  • I actually don't think bringing back the TouchBar from the #Apple #Macbook days is a bad idea. Free form factor means you can put it anywhere. Doesn't replace keys on a keyboard either. https://www.theverge.com/2024/12/3/24311935/flexbar-touchscreen-apple-macbook-pro-touch-bar-kickstarter #kickstarter

  • In reply to @davidbisset. I know here the response will be "Mastodon and the Fediverse will never collapse though" and my response would be "They might not be technically unkillable, but like there a few internet things that still exist that barely are mentioned outside of a circle of nerds… and sometimes the community is…

    Interesting. Markwhen is #Markdown for Timelines https://markwhen.com/ I don't use markdown much, but for something like this i wouldn't mind something similar for quick things. There's also an editor… and a #VSCode extension. #charts #opensource
