  • "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."

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

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.…

  • 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).

The vendor-specific language and the misleading communication cannot hold water very long… Learn to write clean HTML and #CSS and stay relevant for years to come.” https://nuejs.org/blog/tailwind-misinformation-engine/ (I don't use Tailwind but I don't avoid or hate it, but do note posts that share pros/cons).

  • #Apple news today: they are apparently NOT killing #webapps in #iOS in the EU. https://appleinsider.com/articles/24/03/01/apple-reverses-course-on-death-of-progressive-web-apps-in-eu Looks like the apps still need to be built with #WebKit (so not Chrome, etc.) – so basically same as before. I'm sure people will still rain down fire on Apple, but can't say they haven't listened to criticism.
