I’d say probably not, since the bulk of your work isn’t developing. Doesn’t mean you don’t DO development, but it’s not really your “role” anymore.

I wish I had known about this event happening prior to today, as I would have loved to attend!

An icon for Ko-Fi would be a nice addition to complement Patreon

I suppose my fellow engineers using strong tags instead of divs is a step up, though if they’re already adding a tag, it’s REALLY not a stretch to just use a heading 😐

I was also thinking of border-image when I watched the video, and despite @css-only.dev’s article, it just fails to fully click for some reason

I feel similarly about AI (and frameworks) and it gives me pause going down that road if it’s just going to lead to more work fighting the code.
I used frameworks way back in the day (Bootstrap v1) to get going and understand layouts, but generally now they can seem like a hindrance.

Watched this earlier today and was like, “… oh yeeeeeaaaah… that’s still an option” 😅

I know I've seen a few people like @kevinpowell.co cover this in videos, but I don't remember whether it's fully explained *why* it works that way.

Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy pineapple on pizza, but that’s certainly not EVERYONE’s preference. Forcing that as a required field instead is just a silly reaction of, “There! I changed it! Are you happy?”

Also, I wanted to say I first came across your writing via the article “The Internet According to Me”, and while multiple items resonated with me (Neopets, Oregon Trail, etc), it was the DARPA Chief reference that I loved, because I’m the same way 😆 my brain went, “He gets it. We should be friends.”

I think it’s been close to a decade that I’ve told my family not to buy me things, because I prefer experiences and time with people over material items. Doesn’t stop them from asking, even when they don’t have much money in the first place, but feel obligated to buy “stuff” for others.

Ain't that always the way? "This season wasn't great... guess I'll need to stick around and see if they course correct in the next one!" 😂

I came across FROM via a few YouTube shorts. Are the first 2 seasons any good?

I recently came across a job post that wanted me to answer some questions via recorded videos, to help assess my "communication skills on remote settings." While I *get it*, it's also... not my favorite thing.

Ah, gotcha! Still, interesting to know. Thankfully there aren't too many deprecations made nowadays (as that would break existing tech), but it's also not *never*.

Out of curiosity, what was the tech deprecation that caused it to be shut down?

I ran into this recently myself, and had to run through the various plugins to figure out which was the culprit

I heard someone say “it’s funny how a 2.5 hour musical becomes 2 movies, the first of which is… 2.5 hours”, and that stuck with me 😆

Didn’t it become habit to start JS with a semicolon just to protect against OTHER JS not working and closing itself out? Is that not enough of an example of bad fault tolerance?

I just don’t understand how people can’t see that JS is one of the most fragile parts of the entire frontend stack

The best. You need to publish it as “The ONE Figma trick you need to win at BUSINESS”, and then be showered with accolades
