Most of the projects I do are because they are useful to myself. I'm happy if other people find them useful, but I don't depend on them becoming successful. --- https://github.com/darekkay/dashboard Customiza

Not OP, but I also bought such a device on Amazon two months ago. After doing some research, I went for the Anbernic RG351P. I've been quite happy so far.

I second this. JetBrains IDEs use LanguageTool under the hood via the Grazie plugin [0]. I haven't used Grammarly ever since Grazie was introduced. Check Settings → Natural Languages → Grammar → Rules for all available grammar rules. [

I have written a similar tool[0], also using the YAML format. The output is a small web app, contained in a single HTML file. We host our YAML project bookmarks in a Git repository and automatically deploy the generated web app, so it'

Author here. I get your point about general comment negativity. But I've also received great feedback over the years (it wasn't 1% of all comments). People pointing out errors or out-of-date information, suggesting new ideas or si

I agree - I've been using (and writing) userscripts for an eternity. Most of them are public [1], but I don't know if others find them as useful. I like to enhance the design of websites I often use (like using a dark theme for HN

I love/hate such bugs. Often hard to debug, but totally great to finally find the root cuase and a solution. I've once got a ticket stating "this script always crashes before 10 a.m." [1] [1] https://darekkay.

Yeah, 24 work days, which is roughly 5 weeks (with weekends) . But the other part is not fully correct. Yes, the law is pro-employee, and you have the _right_ to take 2 weeks of continous vacation (12 free days). But you are also _required_

Your experience does not match mine and many of other accessibility specialists. So we have to agree to disagree.

As someone who has been part of the a11y community for a while now, the short answer is: yes, in general, both the awareness and the technical knowledge are quite bad among developers. Other hiring tech leads share this opinion, e.g. [1] [1
