Man, I just had the greatest time! My middle child had his first programming assignment in high school and I sat down with him as he showed me his first version. He wrote Wordle in Python. Time flew! It was a blast. So good.

Goodbye karabiner-elements! I'm all in Hyper Key, thanks @raycast.com www.raycast.com/changelog/1-...

GitHub appears to be having issues www.githubstatus.com Trying to do a PR review, but...

Just hit the “publish” button on a brand-new blog post! ⭐ This one shares the killer pattern I find myself using over and over with container queries: responding *within* media queries to adapt to the new container size. Once you start using this trick, you’ll see opportunities for it all over. 😄

I tried the new focus feature from @raycast.com www.raycast.com/core-feature... and apparently I triggered a IT-SecOps alert where they found Suspicious browser manipulations or access. I'm trying to get that resolved ATM. Cool feature BTW

Presenting the first new feature I added to my website with my voice, and why it matters. whitep4nth3r.com/blog/how-to-...

gh-dash is a great in-terminal way to view details of active PRs for your github repos going to the browser (a major context switch) to view PR details can be distracting and requires navigating around github plus, it's a `gh` plugin, which you might already be using github.com/dlvhdr/gh-dash

😮 Big React news: they’re adding first-class View Transition support! 🎉 This’ll make it so much easier to add transitions on route change, among other use cases. The PR was merged earlier today, so it may be available soon! github.com/facebook/rea...

Had my yearly doctor check-up. I consider it a "win" because I didn't faint during the blood draw! However, the nurse seemed annoyed when I warned her that I faint easily. Oh well, at least they knew

👋 Back to work today after a nice long break. It was a great time of being with family, doing home projects, and relaxing. Thankful I like my job, but I'm grateful for the breather. I also feel blessed to take such an extended break. I know not everyone has that flexibility. How was your break?

Saw this car at my son's school. I'd love to see this car at night!

big time quality-of-life setting for your global git config `git config --global diff.wsErrorHighlight all` this will ensure that anytime you run a `git diff`, any extraneous whitespace that is being added or removed will be highlighted, otherwise you can't see what about the line changed

TIL about deck.blue a 3rd-party TweetDeck for Bluesky! Thanks @gildaswise.com

📚 Did you know I self-published a free book about building portfolio sites for developers looking for work? It’s very short, about 70 pages, and contains a bunch of little tips and tricks I learned when I was doing career coaching. You can download it here: www.joshwcomeau.com/effective-po...

On a work call at the library talking about general manager stuff and when I got off the call, the guy next to me asks what he can do to get promoted at his job from a SWE2 to a Sr. SWE1. We had a pretty good conversation :) Hopefully it was helpful to him.

So fun watching Tommee Profitt's music video "O Come O Come Emmanuel" with my 2 older kids in it! youtu.be/PQuq4umpb3Q?...

Most of the Advent challenges are real things I've had to code within the past year. Today's challenge: a Copy to Clipboard button. What makes this "tricky" is the button state. 👉 You can still join (FREE): https://buff.ly/3BbC08P

Ran across a great Chrome extension called "Sky Follower Bridge" to find Bluesky users from my X account www.sky-follower-bridge.dev It detected 634 accounts and I clicked a button to follow the 372 account I wasn't already following on Bluesky! Thanks @kawamataryo.bsky.social

Working at a local coffeeshop and noticed code on the computer next to me which intrigued me. Person came back to their seat and they asked if I was "Eli" and I said "yes". Apparently they saw me give a JavaScript talk years ago. We had a great convo and talked shop. Fun times!

I'm tempted to move from an iPhone 12 Pro to a Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 Is the Android vs iPhone messaging story better than it used to be with Apple supporting RCS? Will I be able to: • Send/receive messages & high-res images/video over wifi? • Participate in previous groups chats?

HAPPY BLUE BEANIE DAY! The Web Standards movement embodied the idealistic, collaborative, organic, and can-do ethos of the web. That is the spirit I continually strive to embody. I owe so much to @zeldman.bsky.social, and it's an honor to call him a friend. Thanks, Jeffrey! #BlueBeanieDay
