Don’t have to. Never even heard of it.

Now more than ever.

This year, I got to work on a Java project (loved the team, didn't love Java all that much), and a few Django-flavored Python projects. Django and Python fucking ROCK! I think I may enjoy this combo even better than PHP.

Sure is strange

I love that he's explaining the housing crisis from the landlord perspective

If you stopped wearing masks, you can start again anytime! At *least* while you’re traveling! Don’t ruin your holidays with covid or flu.

I've had an execeptionally tough year. I have no income or health insurance, and could really use your help finding my next paid project. 💜 semanticfish.com/2025-year-in... Open to front-end, full-stack, design system, & accessibility projects. 10+ years experience. Many more details in post!

Do I know anyone who works at Adobe? A friend of mine applied for a role there that she'd be PERFECT for, and a referral or intro to the hiring manager would be amazing!

⚓️ New Article: No, seriously, the shadow DOM sucks

They’ve made it virtually impossible to not be a wage slave. Which is of course the point.

The Santa hat on the Vercel logo - very cute, but I wonder — would the star of genocidal Israel sit a little better with the logo type? 🤔

Learning how to pay attention to small details, how to deliberately strain yourself to notice tiny details that are off, is a skill programmers learn the painful way. And, using a chatbot deskills you in this very extremely important skill of being able to pay attention to small details.

Greta Thunberg arrested for holding a sign opposing genocide. When peaceful protest is a crime, democracy is in deep trouble. Happening under a Labour Government.

This may be the best song I've heard all year. Holy shit. www.youtube.com/watch?v=zO22...

Fuck ICE, free Palestine, and long live Ms. Rachel ✊

Neither is herpes, but I’ll keep doing my work without either.

RFK Jr. is going to end CDC recommendations for most childhood vaccines. It will take a few years before the deaths and disabilities ramp up to a level that even the most vile Republican cannot tolerate. RFK Jr. will be long gone and unaccountable, as our babies die from preventable illness.

Kids are going to die. Babies are going to die. Some already have. Because of the outcome of this election.

ICE whistles work.

The name "Popular Science" doesn't mean we shift our coverage depending on public opinion. It means we cover relevant subjects that are rigorously researched, reliable, and grounded in reality. And trans lives are grounded in reality. We see y'all. No matter what. www.popsci.com/science/tran...

Bury it in the desert. Wear gloves.

FDT. RIP Nipsey.

Binders are the ONLY safe way to hide your chest as much as possible. Without binders, transmasculine folks have historically used dangerous methods such as bandages or duct tape, which are very harmful. Binder technology has revolutionized life for transmascs. They really hate us so much.

In addition to this administration trying to kill kids, and they're also coming for our binders? OUR BINDERS.

Hi Senator, excuse me for jumping in, but... while I agree with you that this is really damaging, I couldn't help but notice YOU VOTED FOR THE FREAKING BILL THAT GAVE TRUMP THIS POWER (which some of us warned you not to do). www.senate.gov/legislative/...

⚓️ New Article: My HTML Web Component boilerplate for 2026

Any Democrat who thinks it's appropriate to "find common ground" with the Republicans on issues like high school sports teams is negotiating with a political party that does not believe trans people should exist. This policy will kill people, so maybe stop wringing your hands about volleyball.

I still find it baffling that tech leaders are baffled about resistance to adopting AI. You told everyone it was going to replace them, why on earth would you expect people to adopt it with alacrity.

This is possibly the most significant attack on trans rights in this country yet, and I can count the number of posts on my timeline about this on my hands. If you're trying to dismiss this thinking "It'll die in the senate," DON'T! Sound the alarms now!

If I'm reading this correctly, 4 GOP members were had more moral fibre than 3 Democrats? We need to primary the fuck out of more Democrats, TBH

Fuck ICE, free Palestine til my lungs give out.

The U.S. is giving dying mall vibes. I can't explain it, but you know I'm right.

Just once, I would like to NOT be right about shit being worse than folks realize. That ADHD cycle of point out patterns you see before neurotypicals, being told you're over-reacting, then *oh wow* you were right but still not acknowledged. Repeat. I WISH I were overreacting about this shit!

⚓️ New Article: Be a firework

This is the weirdest shit: the @1password.bsky.social browser extension is overriding/running its own syntax highlighting on all websites. Only in one browser. Only on one computer. Reinstalling did not fix. WTF?!

Web industry folks unequivocally agree on what makes the web bad: Non-stop privacy invasion, endless distractions, slop content

He’s also friendly with notable online extremists such as Lunduke and DHH So, if you’re looking for a project that’s unlikely to make dumb decisions in the future, Ladybird might not be your bet (And, arguably, their decision to switch their codebase wholesale to Swift is a dumb decision already.)

So, since people are on the lookout for future browser alternatives and some are finding a project called “Ladybird”, it should be noted that the maintainer is doing a good job of acting like a supporter of racist ideas on social media https://nitter.net/awesomekling/status/1874518295350837401

When I got diagnosed, it triggered a journey of self-discovery and acceptance of both the good and the bad, often in public. It felt like the culmination of that was standing on a stage in Paris saying "Celebrate being a firework in a world that wants you to be a cube." youtu.be/mt2v2DX5Tno?...

BREAKING: The House of Representatives just passed a bill that would subject immigrant children to invasive bodily searches and keep them in detention instead of releasing them to their families. The Senate must vote no on this horrific bill.

@aardrian.bsky.social Forgive me if this is obvious, but my brain is getting overwhelmed by the volume of data in this post. Is this saying that display: block on a table element no longer ruins semantics, or does Safari still fuck that up, too? adrianroselli.com/2022/07/its-...

Extremely on brand for them TBH

The older I get, the more my politics mature from childish, naïve beliefs like "the world is complicated and leaders have to make hard decisions" to more serious, adult principles like "hurting people is bad and helping people is good."

If there's a better way to let people know you're available for work than writing a curse word laden blog post, I simply do not want to hear it! Jokes aside, what do YOU call this kind of contact page? www.nicchan.me/blog/the-f-o...

⚓️ New Article: Forced Colors Mode

The ACA isn't just "health care for people who don't have a conventional employer." It also disallows something that was incredibly common 20 years ago, which I fear is getting lost to generational memory: insurance companies could deny you health care for essentially any previous health problem.
