  • If you want to talk about waste, let's talk about waste. Let's talk about how Cookie Monster eats #cookies. 🍪 #sesamestreet #waste

  • Got my first "enjoy senior living, come tour this community" pamphlet in the mail today. As someone past the mid-40s it's not shocking or totally unexpected. Taking it in stride. Still i'm like "really?". Wife said with eyes rolling and a slight smile: "Now's the time start thinking about it." But I believe I'm supposed…

    As a #developer sometimes you'll see #code comments like this. Often, you'll be the one writing it. #webdev #memes #programming

  • #coding #programming #webdev "It's not enough for a program to work, it has to work for the right reasons. #Code working for the wrong reasons is code that's going to break when you least expect it." https://buttondown.com/hillelwayne/archive/be-suspicious-of-success/ "And since "correct for right reasons" is a much narrower target than "correct for any possible reason", we…

  • "Scale Ruins Everything" No, not a #webdev post but close. #Startups, ideas, and a little VC funding but I think worth a read if you're into #tech. Sometimes the most successful ideas and concepts are the ones that remain "not huge". https://coldwaters.substack.com/p/scale-ruins-everything

  • "#HTML Whitespace is Broken" If you wanted to spend the afternoon reading the "War and Peace" sized blog post about HTML (and some #CSS etc) and HTML whitespace this is your jam. "Deep dive" doesn't do this justice (in a good way). https://blog.dwac.dev/posts/html-whitespace/ via @develwithoutacause #webdev

  • Some days you like your body is running the latest, most performing #PHP version. And some days it's like you're running #PHP 4. (3?).

    Why I 🧡 the web. https://dailydungeon.net/ Daily little puzzle game. Get keys, solve puzzles (reminds me a little of the first #Zelda game). Rooms FADE (great details, you'll know what i'm talking about when you play it). #game #adventure

  • I like reading about big #mysql updates. Here's one story from #Uber: https://www.uber.com/en-JO/blog/upgrading-ubers-mysql-fleet/ #webdev #database

  • Dave Farley On What Makes High Quality Code "So I've come to the belief that the only definition of quality in code that makes any sense is our ability to change the code. If it's easy to change, it's high quality; if it's hard to change, it's not." https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4713-dave-farley-on-what-makes-high-quality-code.htm #programming #coding #webdev

  • Bookmarking this here for #webdev and #QA folks. https://www.donobu.com is a new (and being worked on) #macOS app that creates web flows and rerun them. AI elements, but you don't have to use them. I'm adding the HN (Hacker News) conversation w/ the creators here for background: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41789633

    Me: "I'm seeing a lot of warnings in my branches." Friend, not into #programming: 🤔 #memes #webdev

  • In reply to @davidbisset. And yes i'm aware of the prayer "“God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference”. Just thought I would put it in my own words.

  • What's a life lesson you wished you truly learned earlier in life? For me: learn to accept what you can't control.. focus on what you can control and what your reactions to what you can't. #life #lifelessions #GetOffMyLawn

  • Nice idea: A virtual monitor for #macOS screen sharing. Great if you have a large monitor and don't want to full screen share it. https://github.com/Stengo/DeskPad

  • Sometimes you can be anxious or have focused rage about something happening on the web or social. And sometimes it takes something like a family member's health or a Cat 5 #hurricane heading toward you to put things in perspective. Oh, to have that clarity every day without the dangers.

  • Too early to tell but South Florida's luck might have just run out. #hurricane

    I respect people's opinions and experiences on #coding and #AI. It's been my experience that AI (horrible general term, it's really Code Pilot in #VSCode ) has certainly helped me. Saved me a ton of time vs me trying to google something. Don't blindly trust – code still tested. Helps automate things and writes decent…

  • Trying to explain to my college aged daughter who's taking #ComputerScience about the <hr/> #HTML tag and the question "why?" has come up three times so far. #frontend

  • Today in #Internet news. https://www.wosu.org/2024-09-24/45-years-ago-compuserve-connected-the-world-before-the-world-wide-web On September 24, 1979, #CompuServe launched its online service for consumers. 45 years ago. Back when #modems made horrible noises connecting. My kids don't know… #oldschool

  • It's fun when you do a #PageSpeed Insight on your site during the course of an hour and get different scores in a 25 point range without touching or changing anything on your site (and the cache should be the same). I'm sure this is normal and i'm not trying to get to 100, just…

  • Why I 🧡 the web: https://ismy.blue/ Interesting #tech online experiment, see how far you get before you doubt yourself and if your #colors match your other screens. HackerNews thread has owner's thoughts/reasons: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41430258

  • "#PHP is the Best Choice for Long‑Term Business" https://tomasvotruba.com/blog/php-is-the-best-choice-for-long-term-business "It's not about the language, but the ecosystem around it, and PHP is the best for long-term business costs." #webdev

  • Why I 🧡 the web. Someone made a site that lets everyone edit the same #gradient in real-time. https://internetgradient.com/ Going a little #viral so it's slow. Best to use on a desktop, full screen and Chrome (Firefox worked slower). #CSS

  • Wow. After 27 years AnandTech closes it's doors. One of the first tech publications I remember. #OldSchool geeks a moment of silence. https://www.anandtech.com/show/21542/end-of-the-road-an-anandtech-farewell #tech

  • I mentioned #BellRiots Day was today and now I think there's a white unmarked FBI van parked across the street from my house. #StarTrek 🖖🏻

  • Just when I thought the "one million checkboxes" viral experiment was behind us, this "I think i've been hacked but [won't spoil it]" is worth any #programmer time to read what happened here. https://eieio.games/essays/the-secret-in-one-million-checkboxes/

  • I'm using #WordPress Playground for my plugin for demo purposes and the updates to this particular tech is pretty cool and I don't think gets enough spotlight in the community at the moment.
