Seems like some good stuff there. Personally I really like container queries, cascade layers, nesting and the has selector, all of which feel like they solve some very common design problems in incredibly easy to understand, logical ways. L

Yeah there's not much of a community on any of these services. Probably in part because there's no shared ground in the way there would be on a forum or what not. If you went to a site about a particular series or video game conso

I think one factor that's often overlooked with this advice is that many devices are designed in such a way that entering a secure password is a tedious and error prone process, and hence we should rethink whether passwords are the bes

I guess there was still an expectation that out of that population, anyone could reply to anyone about seemingly anything remotely relevant. I suspect a lot of people online don't see it like that anymore, and in some cases might even

Personally I supect it might be due to differing expectations as to what social media conversations are. I think those who weren't super active on forums and other old school chat systems think of them as closer to a chat between frien

It's really just down to the size of the site/service and Dunbar's Number. Whenever a site or service gets big enough that you can't really know everyone who's active there, then it tends to spiral towards toxicity.

Currently using LiquidWeb for my sites, having been moved over from WiredTree when the former bought the latter. Not particularly cheap in either case, but found the support excellent, since they actually knew what they were doing tech wise

I think the timer is probably something that doesn't get enough attention here. Lots of people say about how these select for people with lots of free time, and that's very true, but they also seem to be biased towards people that

Not necessarily. My experience is that most tech journalism is pretty bad regardless of how much you're paying for it. Of course, this might be because for many topics, actual authoritative research and meaningful discussion happens am

Yep. Making a video requires different skills from writing an article sure, but those skills don't necessarily equate to knowing anything about the topic in question. Plenty of slick YouTube videos are full of lies and misinformation,

I guess it depends what you mean by work. Would I work at my current job or another such job in the industry? No. Would I work for anyone else in general? No, probably not. But I'd probably immediately try to start a company or other a

The thing is, even if you don't put ads on a page or tool, Google will sometimes not index it because it doesn't think there's 'enough' content, no matter how little sense that makes. At least half the issues with r

Sadly the best way to use this stopped working years ago. I vaguely recall in some browsers (maybe IE6 or earlier?) it actually send the submission to email directly without opening the user's email program at all. Having to send an em

I think your post already shows many of those signs; it's difficult to work in, the people working on it are over complicating the infrastructure/setup, features are being scrapped just to get it out the door, no one has any inter

I guess for the same reason no one else thinks about them either. Capitalism in general seems to reward companies and individuals for being remarkably short sighted when it comes to the long term effects of their actions, and just about eve

Okay that's a fair point. Anyone who boasts about how good they are at something should probably be treated skeptically to say the least. Kinda like how any politician that says they're some pillar of morality turns out to be anyt

I think this was the reasoning behind the adage "make it work, make it right, make it fast" (or something along those lines). You'd do a fairly rough draft of the project first, just trying to make it do what you intend it to

I've always felt this was a tad reductive, since there are plenty of people who are both very talkative online/good at marketing themselves that are also experts in their subject areas. Hence the best explanation would be more lik

That's a fair point actually. You can't replace images of current events with AI generated ones at least, so there's still room for timely images from actual photographers.

Wonder how many times you see auto checked checkboxes that aren't part of some dark pattern or another? Feels almost non existent outside of user dashboards and pre saved setting pages.

Yeah, you could replace every single span on this page with almost any other HTML element and it'd work fine. But I guess onlylists or onlyh1s or onlybolds doesn't quite roll off the tongue as well.

Yeah, same here. I like to know what I'm actually working towards. Also that said thing is actually interesting to me. That's a problem with a lot of teaching, the example problems they give are so utterly boring that it saps your

This sounds pretty accurate to me. I personally got into programming because I wanted to create a website to share my knowledge online, and then felt like adding more and more interesting features to differentiate it from the crowd. I also

I think that a lot of basic business/office tasks will probably get replaced almost entirely by AI. Making stock images, writing text for product descriptions or company sites, making basic code updates... there probably won't be

It's been pretty brutal recently, as someone who's been applying to jobs in the last few months or so. Requirements for roles seem to be far higher than they used to be, with even Frontend or Backend specific ones requiring knowle

Even the folks working on the specifications now think border-box should have been the default behaviour: https://wiki.csswg.org/ideas/mistakes The only reason it's not is because of backwards compatibility.

Yeah that's the thing isn't it? When people use a search engine, they want to be able to click through to the result and read it, not have to subscribe to some paid service to do so. If your business model doesn't let you off

Seems like Gitlab seems to be even more ridiculous with their responses to large businesses and potentially dubious copyright claims than GitHub is. It's not the only time this month I've seen them take down repositories related t

Virtually every product and service with a website and social media presence? If you get banned from Google, your visibility online pretty much falls off a cliff and your sales will likely never recover. So anyone making money from a websit
