  • In reply to @davidbisset. * = Yes, I am avoiding the word that rhymes with "mama". ** = Yes I'm aware of the irony, and for those about to point that out I offer this: https://youtu.be/W5JkME5-n9c?feature=shared&t=50

  • I smiled when I was using #WordPress and noticed instead of "trash" for a post… it was "bin". And I realized i'm using English (UK) language settings. 🗑️

  • If you're into #WordPress, this looks like an interesting initiative. "Conducting WordPress performance research in the field" https://make.wordpress.org/core/2024/04/05/conducting-wordpress-performance-research-in-the-field/

  • I've heard of Party Kit before (like to say maybe on a @jsparty podcast?). #Cloudflare acquires PartyKit to allow developers to build real-time multi-user applications. https://blog.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-acquires-partykit

  • #FFmpeg 7.0 "Dijkstra" is out. One of the most useful frameworks that's still chugging along today. If you decode video in any format, you know probably know the name. https://ffmpeg.org//index.html#pr7.0 #webdev #video #LGPL

    You can laugh at this but often WE (especially #developers) try to fit too many tasks/projects into our limited schedules. BURNOUT. Sometimes when you take a step back it's as silly as this. Also there's a joke about node modules with this #meme as well. #memes #webdev

  • In reply to @davidbisset. 3/2 I'm sharing this here because when i check back in a year (maybe via davidbisset.social) I want to see how right or wrong I was. 🙂

  • In reply to @davidbisset. Not all AI applications are valid, but I just saw how someone made docs for their product with help of AI vs the old method that took weeks. A one person team made training video faster, after some quick editing. I don't use AI for purely creative tasks but I'm personally…

  • "99.9% Of #AI is crap and should be ignored." "Start literally idea with AI to get rich/funding and abandon reason, logic and/or ethics." I've lived through enough bubbles in tech to not surprised to see these views that represent opposite ends of the spectrum in my social feeds (guess which one is seen where). From…

    "You shouldn't care how your code works as long as it works." 🤔 #programming #coding

  • Surprising enough i'm spending more time on #LinkedIn as my "other than #Mastodon social space". While recruiter and over the top marketing folks are there, they are easy enough to avoid and ignore surprisingly enough. Not sure why. Initial impressions is that there are more "news" links vs "snarky/hot takes and reactive" takes. Less negativity.…

  • This is cool. Visit https://viewsource.info/ and you'll see highlighted as you browser the site the #HTML pieces that make it up. Literally you are viewing the source. #webdev

  • Why I 🧡 the web: "Single Div" #CSS Drawing Experiment https://a.singlediv.com/ AMAZING what you can do with just CSS. It's these proof of concepts and experiments that made (and continue to make) the web fun for devs like me. More:https://github.com/lynnandtonic/a-single-div #frontend

  • #MentalHealth tip: it's ok to unfollow negative community folks even if they are active contributors or good developers. There's a line between venting on social media vs. nearly every post being negative, berating, or snarky attempts on the framework or community that they've chosen to be a part of. They can do them, but don't…

    Friend: "I'm done with this #programming project but feel like it's missing a little bit of critical code." Me: 🤔 #webdev #memes

  • My daughter is a college junior getting her #ComputerScience degree. She's currently frustrated and hitting some issues w/ her code in a class. "Hey i code for a living… happy to be your rubber duck… what language are you coding in?" Her: "#Assembly" Me:

  • Yeah if you're old enough to remember building #HTML websites with <table> then David Walsh's post is relatable. https://davidwalsh.name/im-so-old-1 I think I could add "HTML image maps" to the list (remember this method of creating clickable areas on an image?). #webdev

  • If you want to follow curated #WordPress news (posts, videos, podcasts), subscribe to the #RSS feed of https://wpfront.page (or visit the site). https://wpfront.page/feed/ It runs on a small $0.99 server so when I mention it on #Mastodon the traffic kinda overloads it briefly (even with caching but i'm working on it).

  • Saw today Quote Posts in #Tapbot app and loving how it's done. 👏🏻 #Mastodon https://www.macstories.net/news/tapbots-releases-ivory-1-9-with-quote-posts/
