If you don’t accept or decline the cookie pop up I’m pretty sure every website treats it as a “yes you can track me”. Like those websites that have a banner stating “by using this website you agree to let us track you with cookies”

Every website listed under your projects are examples of minimalism. The other guy should visit those projects and take some hardcore notes, but he's too busy being an asshole to everyone criticizing his terrible website.

Yeah. The dude is a Grade-A asshole. His site is complete garbage, yet he insists that it's amazing. I've never seen someone so confidently wrong in every single reply to criticism ever.

PHP runtime? PHP is incredibly fast. I don't install sketchy plugins on my WordPress sites so security breaches are a non issue. I'd be more worried about one of those 10,000 dependencies in your React project doing something mali

The same thing can be said for a lot of things with CSS… The @media rule was added for one reason only: provide different styles for different media types. It wasn’t intended to be used to make responsive websites. Is using it to make respo

This is fake. Amazon gives $1,000 after 30 days, then the next $1,000 after 90 days, and the next $1,000 after 180 days.

Did you miss the giant frontend masters sidebar sticky on the side of every article for the past 2+ years? Chris was making tens of thousands off that ad each month.

I found an even easier combination: Doing none of that and just pay for YouTube premium.

The lengths people will go to to get around paying $10 a month for YouTube premium.

Crazy that every nation other than china has had 3 big “waves” of Covid cases. Yet somehow china has only had the initial wave of Covid back in early 2020 and nothing else until now. Very strange.

> I was disappointed that XPS did not even use a metal hinge, which is probably just 25 cents more. so yes XPS does not use the best quality parts from my experience. This is why it's $800 cheaper than a MacBook Pro.

Use cases? I just want exactly what I have in notion… but printed to pdf. How is that taking away from “evolving their UX”.

Some people can’t afford $12 a month, especially with that measly 150k tech salary. Really gotta start budgeting these days.

Thing is, if you kept your JobsOk.io project for another year you would have been making bank (like Pieter did) from the remote job boom during Covid. Oh well…
