    Cue the "what are alternatives to #Pixelmator" takes. As a user for many years – using this instead of Photoshop – i'm neutral on this for now. If anyone HAD to buy it I would go with #Apple. Give Adobe maybe a run for their money.

  • This is big in #Apple world. Especially if you don't use #Adobe or #Photoshop. I paid for #Pixelmator and fond of it. https://9to5mac.com/2024/11/01/apple-reaches-deal-to-acquire-pixelmator/ 17 year old company… and how often does Apple do acquisitions like this? Almost never.

  • Daylight Savings Ends this Sunday. Most people: "That's another hour of sleep!" Developers(*): "I finally get that additional hour to test my code." Hey #programmers – get that extra hour of #sleep. You earned it. * = Most below the age of 30. #webdev

  • "What is the point of an online conference?" https://www.scattered-thoughts.net/writing/what-is-the-point-of-an-online-conference/ Accessibility and affordability usually are the big reasons. Sometimes it's being in the right mindset. I've seen online conferences done right. I miss live tweeting conferences like #PHP and #WordPress WordCamps – got a lot of interaction from people watching them online. #conferences #tech

    Apparently there's a new #CSS logo coming? Down to two choices (screenshot from a voting request two days ago). https://github.com/CSS-Next/css-next/issues/105

  • Legit complaints about #Apple exist but the M series of chips isn't one of them for me. Apple announced #M4 today but I have a M1 Air and MacMini in my family that will last for years. My M1 Max and M2 Air aren't slow in the least. Of course I'll upgrade eventually. But I…

    #Developer Friend: "I imagine my code from last week as a boring old 2-door car. What's your old code look like?" Me: 🤔 #webdev #memes #programming

  • I'll just use the word "interesting" on this. "We’re in the process of replicating all of #WordPress to a modern tech stack (Node.js & Next.js) called NextPress". Including plugins and themes, they say. https://www.nextpress.ai/ #nodejs

  • In reply to @davidbisset. If you listen to the podcast or read the summary, i'm not really on board with much of the author's viewpoint on AI – but I thought the quote was so true for so much in general.

  • Great #quote I heard this morning. Context the #memes mentioned below are more of the viral mistruths and angry mob thoughts. "Memes are ideas and they compete for space in your brain. Their competition is not based on true they are. Their competition is not based on how good for you they are. It's based…

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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
