Some of us are fortunate to have never left vanilla JS. Of course that limits my job search options, but I can't feel comfortable signing off on any project that includes more dependencies than I can count at a glance.

I'm also curious how UBI won't turn into the same convoluted mess that our tax laws have become. I doubt it would stay universal for long.

Back in the 80s and 90s rhey would advertise products on TV with "6 to 8 weeks for delivery". Now I wonder if they did this to batch up a manufacturing run once enough orders were received.

Well the job losses have certainly arrived. Whether that is due to AI, WFH->offshoring, or end of ZIRP is anybody's guess. All I know is any tech meetups I go to are full of people looking for work and the recruiters that normally s

Do people still use bookmarklets? I wrote this one to remove all <iframe> elements, which is where most of the worst distractions live. I mostly only use it when a site has gone too far. javascript:(function () { const
