  • 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. "Introducing Offline Mode and PWA Support for WordPress Playground" https://make.wordpress.org/playground/2024/08/05/offline-mode-and-pwa-support

  • #Gutenberg analysis in terms of "winning over users". https://wpshout.com/opinions-about-gutenberg/https://themeisle.com/blog/opinions-on-the-block-editor/ I'm mostly putting this here to archive these into davidbisset.social. But I've appreciated the block editor more as (in some cases forced) I've worked with it. Most of the feedback i've gotten is how things were handled/communicated (some of which were reasonable items). But WP wouldn't…

  • "Automating my /now page" I've seen some people put these together. It's interesting. "A deep dive into how I automated my now page on my personal website by creating a #Go script and making use of #GitHub Actions." #webdev https://akashgoswami.dev/posts/automating-my-now-page/

  • I visited this site when it viral and it captured the fun of the "old web" that you don't see much these days. "Scaling One Million Checkboxes to 650,000,000 checks" https://eieio.games/essays/scaling-one-million-checkboxes/ #webdev #oldschool

  • Just launched a redesign of the site of the company where i'm project manager: WP Charitable (see my bio). I talk more on LinkedIn about Charitable but I'll mention it here a bit now that the site is refreshed. It's exciting some of the things we have planned. I've learned so much about non-profits and…

  • Although I personally avoid it, I'm not usually pushing "Don't Deploy on Friday" out into the world but… #Microsoft #CrowdStrike

  • FYI in case you use(d) #Google URL Shortener. https://developers.googleblog.com/en/google-url-shortener-links-will-no-longer-be-available/ Not a fan of URL shortners (don't use them much anymore) even when I can host it myself. I have used them for "quick one day" things but not in blogs, etc. #blogging

  • Trying to figure out the best way to go through server log files over 100MB. So far I found this: https://github.com/variar/klogg I'm using a Mac, if that helps. Even text editors i've used in the past (VS Code and even more basic ones) will slow at a certain point. #webdev #programming

  • I have a friend in the #WordPress community (if you've been in the community a while you'll know him, he's a WordCamp Miami co-founder) who is looking for a way to get access / reset password to WordPress.com account. The catch is that the account is associated with an email address to a custom domain…

  • https://pikimov.com is an #Adobe After Effects alternative that (so far) looks kinda cool. I'm not a AE user but if even some of these features work, I would come back to this. #video Currently free.

  • Nice read from @davew on making a collection of #blogrolls by following a site's blogroll looking for other blogrolls. http://scripting.com/2024/06/28/170235.html See: https://browse.blogroll.social/ #blogging #oldschoolweb

    When you look at code and it's bug that were written last year and ask who wrote it… and this is what Github tells you. #programming #memes #webdev

  • I'll miss Donald Sutherland.

  • With much negative things out there, it's important to shine lights on the positive too. So kudos to @michellefrechette for her efforts in #WordPress community… sharing jobs and encouraging and thought provoking articles and posts.

  • Ah vague subtweets…. or on #Mastodon is it subtoots? subposts? What's the most common used term? 🤔

  • Missed a bit of #WCEU. So sharing some linkss, most of which I haven't seen yet. "WordCamp Europe 2024: Matt Mullenweg Keynote Presentation" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ELW4Jdvujbc Looking for more #WCEU stuff to bookmark/share with #WordPress folks and for my own resources.

  • In reply to @davidbisset. There a fine line between cynical viewpoints and "calling it like how it is". Listening to others $0.02 (maybe they don't care for someone in a tech community or have gripes about latest tech trends) can expand your thinking and keep you honest. They aren't 100% wrong either.
