This cuts deep. Chris had a big impact on my current life trajectory, one that is still playing out -- which is why I was holding off on reaching out with an update. Now I'll never get that chance. Chris seemed to be _everywhere_ and w

I know Jeff personally when I ran for the NC House of Representatives in 2018. Jeff has become regionally famous, especially among highly-engaged NC progressives, as an incredible communicator. I say this with no exaggeration, but he may be

I met Blaine at a “Apple old-timers” cookout I snuck into while I was interning there. Definitely one of the most memorable attendees at a party full of ‘em.

I'm very excited to see this, specifically the Scrollspy refactor [0]. During COVID lockdown, without anything better to do, I went down a rabbit hole debugging some wonky scroll behavior. A bunch of other people had encountered the sa

This is exactly what it is. Last I heard, a small team within FB was responsible for actually running the service itself but it could have gotten spun out since then.

At Cal, a couple of students built an all-in-one course search/scheduling tool which incorporated grade distros, professor ratings, exam DBs, etc. They eventually sold it to our independent student union for continued development and m

It's been a while. I think we did use waits but they were still flakier than you might expect.
