Mediocre Web Developer / Co-Organizer VueATL / Listening. (he/they?) I will talk about CSS. That is a threat. https://notacult.social/@fimion https://dangitalex.wtf https://alex.party Views do not represent opinions of my employer.

Came home from a trip to find the neighbors dumb white cat had been hit by a car and killed. Stefan was a sweetheart and an absolute dumbass. I am distraught and absolutely furious. Good bye dumb dumb, we all loved you.

Well, I think I'm done with Duolingo. It gave me "nog iets" as the English translation of the German "noch etwas" So... Yeah. Their quality control has gone waaaaaaay down

deeply annoying that creative breakthroughs don’t come on schedule from direct work but from things like “open-ended conversations with interesting people” and “doing nothing”

Accurate. Haven't been applying to many conferences recently to make sure my wife has support getting her master's, and honestly? Don't feel like I'm missing much.

My experience with k-pop boy bands so far: Meh. Meh, but that song is catchy. Meh, but these songs are catchy. These songs are catchy, but I don't get the singers. These songs are catchy and that guy is hot. These songs are catchy, that guy is hot, and this is now my personality.

On April 4th, I am hosting a free live event and I want you in the room. Not to perform. Not to prove you get it. To practice. Most of what white folx call doing the work is still happening inside your own head. Reading. Reflecting. Feeling bad. Feeling good. Feeling bad about feeling good.

Yesterday was my last day at Deno. I'm sad to leave but I'm proud of everything the team and I were able to build. I'm glad I had the opportunity to work with some of the most talented people I've met. I wish them all the best! I'm actively looking for my next challenge, my DMs are open!

Just so I've got this straight... We used to type out the thing we wanted to do. Then we made it so we can click on things and people hated to type out things. Now we need to make everything work by.... Typing out things?

You know how people complain about cheap knock-off products that break really quickly and have no longevity and add to the growing piles of plastic garbage? Unrelated, I'm sure vibe coded apps are the future and can be built quick and cheap and completely replicate well established projects.

Browser developers are working on custom form controls ( `appearance:base`), the next giant task is looming: customisable input type=date/datetime/color pickers. These are huge and have wildly varied UI. Send me your examples, I'd love to see them and build up a body of these pickers.

Alright, apparently I now have to learn about passkeys because my wife is locked out of her Nintendo account because 1password shit itself while trying to set one up.

Good news everyone, my new passport is here so I have 10 years to try and get accepted to an international conference before I have to renew again.

This Superbowl halftime show was one of the most terrifying performances I have seen recently. I mean seriously, falling off a 10 ft high stage into a crowd surf, and then climbing up a telephone pole without any sort of ppe. So many OSHA violations happening. The performance was good though.

I am a loud CSS Grid lover but I just discovered you can't use getComputedStyle to get the intrinsic row/column of an auto-placed item and feeling pretty cranky about it.
