Yeah, that was me exactly! I just couldn't face that massive long list anymore - it had been ported from computer to computer for years and was the digital equivalent of clearing out the garage (and it felt great afterwards)! It was am

This hit home! I recently cleared through thousands of bookmarks. Many of the sites weren't there anymore, many of them were things I thought 'would be a good read at some point' or things I thought 'were a good read&#x2

I very much second this book. I'm not sure it teaches anything groundbreaking/new, but just seeing the words on a page was hugely valuable to me in the same sort of way that saying the things that rattle around in your head out lo

I absolutely get your point, but the solution feels incredibly heavy handed, especially as 99.99999%+ of the users are unlikely to ever warrant tracking. Surely a better solution would be briefing journalists not to install pretty much anyt

There's an engineering angle here that I think a lot of us probably find interesting?

Yeah, I worked for an agency around the same sort of time and saw exactly the same kind of thing. I remember one site that saved all the CC and order details to a plain text file in the web root. This was opened using an FTP programme every

Yes, I'm very much the same. I'm happy to (attempt to! re-)upvote comments that have been downvoted, as long as they're actually thoughtful and contribute to the argument/conversation, and obviously (and often!) I'l

This was a wonderful time. Ran up the same massive phonebill (and same horrendous trouble), life changed for the better (with BBSs and then the web!) when the phone company started doing free evening calls to local numbers up to an hour lon

Apologies if my comment read with the implication that she needed to? To clarify, I don't care in the slightest whether she adds a disclaimer or not. After reading the article, which was pretty blunt, I was trying to figure out whether

The article was last Friday. Any idea when she added the disclaimer? It looks like she never meant it to be presented as anything other than a composite, but someone took it as such and ran with it. Now she's trying to weather the &quo

Presumably, yes. And assuming they have Tailwind skills as a 'add-on' I'd argue it's easier for them to understand and get going straight away with: class="rounded shadow p-4 pb-1 bg-white" than: cla

I love CSS, I'm relatively good at it. Didn't enjoy Tailwind until I really did. Working on a frontend project with other people Tailwind is fantastic. Everyone can see and understand what I've done and there's no tryi

Agree with you completely - I can't see how this would help me, but it's very cool to watch! And congrats on the records! I've managed to get just below the minute mark a handful of times and remain in complete awe of anyone
