I used to use PT for years. Nowadays I use Linear instead for project management and love it. In true pivotal tracker spirit their mobile apps are terrible, but perhaps that’s for the best.

Oof that semicolon comment really took me straight back to high school. I think writing code on paper is actually a very good exercise, but professors who get upset over missing semicolons can go to hell.

What’s cool is that with html includes (import specification) we could have supported this without any JS. https://www.w3.org/TR/html-imports/

“Worse” here is relative to how we have designed sites such as Google maps today. The current web would fundamentally break if we stopped supporting scripts after page load, so moving would be painful. However, we build these lazy and bloat

I am thinking about a different time, when JS did less, and these decisions were being made. Today, what you are saying is definitely a concern, but all APIs are abused beyond their intended uses. That isn’t to say we shouldn’t continue to

I don’t disagree at all mind you. I’ve been developing websites for 25 years or so now. I just think we could have done better with the standard.

If you’re asking if it would incentivize us to be more careful when introducing additional interactive functionality on a page, and how that functionality impacted performance and page speed, I expect it would. Thinking about how the web wa

You misunderstand me, I’m not proposing we get rid of JavaScript. I am saying that allowing for JavaScript to be dynamically downloaded and executed after the page is ready was a mistake. You can build your Google docs, your maps, and figma

I believe allowing the dynamic loading of scripts was a mistake, and we should undo support for it. So were iframes. Everything after ready should have been static content.

I can't speak for the desktop experience lately, but just last weekend I opened the YouTube app on iOS to this peak user experience: https://files.catbox.moe/vzo65c.JPG

I have had a similar experience. After using Kagi, I don't really get why someone would pay for what they are offering today.

19/20 the neon blue one really messed with my head and kind of hurt to look at for some reason, so I am not surprised I got it wrong.

This is especially true for script kiddies, which is why I am so thankful for https://e18e.dev/ AI is making this worse than ever though, I am constantly having to tell devs that their work is failing to meet requirements,

Same I’ve been writing React for 11 years now. Before that I used Backbone on top of jQuery. Before that I used jQuery. Before that I used the document, but I still use the document. I have barely had to learn anything each decade.

I expect most people are going to open the door right in front of them, rather than walk the long way to gain entry, even if they are aware the door is monitored by a security camera.

You might be interested in e18e if you would like to see that change: https://e18e.dev/ They’ve done a lot of great work already.

Depends on the ticket. If it's "Get us to the moon", it's gonna take me years to write that ticket. If it was "Make the CTA on the homepage red", it is up for debate whether I needed a ticket at all.

I think as a guide for buying honey his advice is valuable, although a bit dramatic, and it won’t apply to every country or region. As someone who is a beekeeper and owns a farm, you can be much more certain what you’re getting is honey whe

Your effort to make these posts consumable by the masses doesn’t go unnoticed. It’s clear you put a great deal of work into them, and the quality you achieve raises the bar in many ways for what to expect when learning about the web. If onl

Offline evaluators such as laminar and (evalite wip) stay out of the way fortunately. Evals can be very useful when they do.

Code is a liability. Not writing code is one of the best things a developer can do on any particular day, aside of course from deleting it ;)

Not sure if this is the same idea as the one above, but the ones I’ve heard send the nukes up separately, so that the final launch craft is not impacted by the mass of the nukes. Instead as the craft passes by each nuke, they are detonated,

They actually mention this as an alternative explanation other than missing fungi and parasites after rereading the article: > Another possibility is that the queens could have developed an "acquired taste" for pesticides, as r

Makes me wonder if it could be that some of the pesticides attract the bumblebees, but not because of the absence of parasites. Presumably clean soil also has no mites or parasites in it.

The part I hate the most is that in 2024 I still need a connection pooler (such as pgbouncer) in front of it to make it usable.

I don't have a question, but wanted to let you know that your site, www.robertsimmigration.com has a self-signed certificate and therefore others cannot create a secure connection to it. > openssl s_client -connect www.robertsimmigr

I won’t be touching this binary with a ten foot pole until every line of code is open. Many excellent alternatives already exist that are also open and free, I don’t see a compelling argument to use this software on any device at the moment
