    hhhmm… so #programmers if you've ever made software and get feedback or ratings from customers/clients, i'm sure you can relate to the recipe author when they read this.

  • In reply to @davidbisset. I wouldn't be surprised if @siracusa mentions this on @atpfm at some point with a certain tone.

  • One sad prediction of mine is that #Firefox (my current primary browser) will continue to shrink in marketshare in 2024. I don't know what an "end" will be to it but I am prepared by this time next year to having to define it and make a decision.

  • Every time my wife complains about the clothes on my side of the bed that should be in the closest I just say it's my "object cache". Hasn't worked well yet.

    New physical keyboard for #iPhone – not for me, but part of me (my Pro Max is already taller than me) but can't help but remember fondly about my BlackBerry keyboard. https://www.clicks.tech

  • It's the second day in 2024 and i'm already mad. "#Muppet Babies Will Never Be Available on Streaming Due To Studio #Copyright Claims" https://movieweb.com/muppet-babies-jim-henson-streaming-issues/

    As a #parent and a #developer I won't tell you how I was initially skimming these sub chapters.

  • If you use #VSCode and looking for a new theme, here's a nice gallery: https://vscodethemes.com/ #webdev

  • Thanks to @marcoarment @caseyliss for providing probably the best moment in 2023 for @atpfm when @siracusa quizzed them on #MacOS names and versions. First time I didn't let the podcast auto-delete and had to rewind and listen to that chapter again several times over the past few days. Here's to #macOS Uranus. 🪐

  • In reply to @davidbisset. All of these are "tries" (try to own your own domain name, etc.). Often many especially non-techs can't do all of these. I rated these personally in the order I think of importance.

  • #Content lessons even more relevant in 2023 than previous years. 👉🏻 Own your domain name even if it's a "crappy" $5/year one.👉🏻"Own your content" and as much of "the stack" as possible.👉🏻 Control your distribution of your content.👉🏻 If you aren't hosting your content, ensure you have backups, archives, or access in case your provider…

    I'll have to admit I don't remember this book when I was growing up.

    You're a modern 2023 #WordPress dev and designer if everywhere you look you see block layouts and patterns. #Gutenberg

  • Cool drinking game. Take a shot when you look in your 2023 social stream and see serious non-ironic mention of #Web3, #NFT, and #Blockchain being the future. I'm completely sober.

    Developer: "I didn't set a max-height to the element in #CSS. I don't think anyone will notice." Me: 🤔

  • Finding "the best way" to create animated gradient borders in #CSS https://bejamas.io/blog/css-animated-gradient-border/?ref=web-design-weekly.com Sadly this doesn't seem to currently work in #Firefox for me.

    Customer: I want an "Infinity Stone Gauntlet" quality project but I don't want to pay very much. Me: 🤔

  • "Vanilla #JavaScript doesn't scale " via @chrisferdinandi https://crosswindsframework.com/blog/2023/12/18/converting-your-website-to-the-block-editor/ "…it’s not just reinventing the wheel, and anyone who says that [JS doesn't scale] has no idea what they’re actually talking about." #development #react

  • Why I 🧡 the #web: Merriam-Webster's 404 Page https://www.merriam-webster.com/notfound

  • I actually do this and I don't feel now it's so weird: "A simple #programming #productivity trick: leave work unfinished to reach flow " https://read.engineerscodex.com/p/simple-software-engineering-habits #development #coding

  • Hey #WordPress folks. Did you watch @photomatt State of the Word 2023? Thoughts? Questions? Predictions? Here's the recording: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1MwT9EEkguE #frontend #opensource #openweb

  • Not surprising, but one can't deny that @w3c leaving #Twitter is another tip of the hat to #webdev tech growing on #Mastodon. In the past year I think I've gradually stopping hearing "find us on Twitter" statements at the end of all the dev podcasts too.

  • "You don't need #JavaScript for that." https://www.htmhell.dev/adventcalendar/2023/2/ "Choose the least powerful language suitable for a given purpose… On the web this means preferring HTML over #CSS, and then CSS over JS."

    I found this the most interesting result ("How do you usually debug #PHP code?") from the JetBrains Dev Survey. Var dump is king baby. https://www.jetbrains.com/lp/devecosystem-2023/php/#php_debug What's the other 2%? Consulting a magic 8 ball?

  • I went down memory lane on these 10 "HTML Hacks" history. I scored a 10 our of 10 on these. If you did at least 7, you're in the #oldschool #webdev club. https://tedium.co/2023/11/24/weird-html-hacks-history/ Today being a #developer is complicated but early days you had to jump through hoops that newer devs take for granted today.

  • In reply to @davidbisset. To be clear, I said "foundation". So much growth over that newbie 20 years ago (when i started in ASP which is also gone) and it's been fun and challenging keeping up with the innovation on the web. But 20 years ago if you told me I would still be coding…

  • Thought by 2023 I'd be forced away from foundations of HTML #PHP #JavaScript #CSS (and #WordPress). A partial list of "hot and need to learn to survive" things over the past 20 years that didn't derail me: – Flash/ActionScript– ColdFusion– Ruby on Rails– (Countless JS "frameworks" that mostly don't exist today)– Go– JAMSTACK– React– AMP–…
