"Everything doesn't have to be political" is the "but I don't have an accent" of political awareness.

We had to use the markup as a data source and recreate the content in the shadow DOM. Definitely not ideal.

Ideally service worker requests need to respond with a particular piece of code to perform a redirect properly. I can help with this once I'm back from holiday next week.

Also, for stuff that uses a service worker to be offline-first, it needs more than a simple redirect.

I wish the timing was a bit longer. I'm on holiday now, but I used Glitch to create demos for things in my previous role. I don't want folks to be disrupted, so it's going to be stuff I try to sort in my free time.

Nah, my memory is awful. I had it all written in a doc 😀

Some things that would have made our lives easier: Allow slotting indirect children github.com/whatwg/html/...
Allow custom elements to act as forms github.com/whatwg/html/...
A way to run code before the next frame github.com/whatwg/html/...

I got a little handheld thing with a PS emulator and this was one of the first games I downloaded.

You could also decide that it's intended as one-off config, so it's fine if the change is heavy

I'm not sure what the 'right' answer is here, given the intent of the prop. I guess Wrapper could have a prop that means it doesn't look like a wrapper, but ew.

If the tag/component name changes it's always a reset

Switching from div to Wrapper and vice versa will still cause a full mount of that element/component and all children.

Yeah, one route for 3-19 is escalators, one is stairs. The tricky part is figuring out where platform 4 is, given that 1-4 and 3-19 are both ranges that include 4.

Right! I laughed a lot at that too

Yeah, if it's a subsection of the thing, it's reasonable to have an extra dimension. But in this case it was three distinct platforms.
The UK has trains that split in two at some station and go different ways, which is really confusing.

Just give the platforms different numbers! There are lots of numbers these days.

Yessss! I also sang along to the anthem. Well, I didn't do the words but…

The Italian national anthem is objectively the best tho. 2nd place Brazil.

Actually this is better at Silverstone, where the rich wave to the crowd like the King, and everyone boos really loudly.

I don't think listicles are inherently bad. Even skimming this, it's nothing like how AI writes. AI content is so suffocatingly 'safe' and lightweight.

Hah yeah, it sounds like there's a lot of overlap there

That's a good description of the introvert/extrovert thing. When we used to do Chrome Dev Summit, it'd be an intense couple of days. Afterwards, there's be a party for everyone involved, but me and a couple of others would find a small Thai restaurant, and have a couple of beers in almost-silence.

There aren't many places I'd dev-rel for, as a lot of places treat the role kinda as you assumed, more of an outward-only grift. I've heard some folks talk about "eng-rel" as a counter to that – engineers that also communicate.
Fwiw, I wouldn't count myself as an extrovert. It's complicated I guess
comment in response to
post
(I did it for Chrome for ~10 years). I think the best dev rels are technically active. For me that meant building tools for developers, and working on web standards. And as you say, the role is as much about pushing for what devs want from the product, as communicating about the product.
AMA 😀
