If you did at least 7, you're in the #oldschool #webdev club. https://tedium.co/2023/11/24/weird-html-hacks-history/ Today being a #developer is complicated but early days you had to jump through hoops that newer devs take for granted today.

  • In reply to @davidbisset. To be clear, I said "foundation". So much growth over that newbie 20 years ago (when i started in ASP which is also gone) and it's been fun and challenging keeping up with the innovation on the web. But 20 years ago if you told me I would still be coding…

  • Thought by 2023 I'd be forced away from foundations of HTML #PHP #JavaScript #CSS (and #WordPress). A partial list of "hot and need to learn to survive" things over the past 20 years that didn't derail me: – Flash/ActionScript– ColdFusion– Ruby on Rails– (Countless JS "frameworks" that mostly don't exist today)– Go– JAMSTACK– React– AMP–…

    "Commit Mono" sounds like a disease but it's a coding #font for #developers. https://commitmono.com

  • The "isolation" property is the "#CSS property you didn't know you needed". I don't remember reading / learning about this before. 🤔 https://dev.to/francescovetere/the-css-property-you-didnt-know-you-needed-3fk0 It basically provides more control over how elements interact with the rest of the document, and it is often an elegant solution for z-index issues.

  • If you're allergic to #Twitter, look away but this is useful. Wayback Tweets: "Archived tweets on Wayback Machine in an easy way" https://github.com/claromes/waybacktweets #python

  • OH: "If you haven't randomly said "Happy #PHP 8.3.0 Day!" today (Nov 23) to non-tech people then you aren't a true #PHP fan."

  • https://wpfront.page is still going strong – have a number of people subscribing via RSS. Every day – multiple times a day – #WordPress news gets posted. It's the TechMeme of WP. Thinking about revising it a bit next month during some off time. Meantime check it out. My daughter and I run it!

  • Best tips I've heard on how #Mastodon can welcome people migrating from other social network. Summarizing: – Don't say "about time".– Avoid "well you're here now, so welcome."– Best: don't mention any other social network at all. Welcome them. Answer questions. Be helpful. Mentioning where they're coming from, even in passing can seem unintentionally smug.…

  • Although I don't have an #iPhone 15, this is a cool note when i upgrade to >15. The Action Button Can Be a Translation Button in #iOS 17.2 https://pxlnv.com/linklog/action-button-translation/

  • Friend, trying to help: "Maybe if you take a walk outside you'll figure out where the bug is in your code." Me:
