Opened VS Code for the first time in years. Holy f—. What a mess after using Nova for so long.

Hmmmm. My text editor, Nova, is cooked after upgrading to MacOS 15.4 Beta. Dagnabbit.

Personally, I'd rather rub hot sauce on my testicles than use Wordpress. But, occasionally clients ask for it.

I doubt anyone chooses Wordpress because they think it's the best. I bet they choose Wordpress because they've heard of it and it's free.

As an introvert with no talent for small talk, I never really enjoyed conferences after-parties. Once—at a Web Directions party—I escaped to the loo. Sitting in the cubicle, I overhead two blokes outside having a waz. One said to the other, "I tried talking to Andy Clarke, but he was weird."

Mental health is a weird. I'm sitting, working on a lovely project, watching a film, in my comfort zone / happy place, when all of a sudden I feel this overwhelming sorrow. It passed quickly, but left me feeling very strange.

I don't need to hire CSS developers. But if I did, I would give them extra points if I saw them using logical properties like margin-block as this would demonstrate they're on top of the current best practices.

I love SVG. I drew this for a client site to fill the 404 page. It weighs 35kb. Bloody marvellous.

I speak fluent German as long as I'm in a bakery or cafe. Put me in a Subaru garage and I'm a complete plank.

This group of old German fellas in the bakery cafe have obviously meet up regularly to natter about football, politics, and shit. I envy them.

Developers! If you going to implement this design, how would you make the right pane load content independently of the left? And be able to to _target each pane from the other? (Like we used to do with frames.)

You know what would help fix the UK economy? Rejoining the single market and customs union. But Labour don't have the balls to suggest it.
