Saw this on Instagram. Saw it’s a Bluesky post. Followed @astrokatie.com and tracked down the post just to publicly complain about the fact that I lack people in my group of friends who would understand both sides of the joke. I only have friends for either.

CSS is the mind-killer. CSS is the little-death that brings total obliteration.

If you think about, a lot of CLI programs could be abstracted away into simple GUIs. If there was any standardization and it wasn't just "here is string. have fun with it. maybe you want to pretend it is structured. i dont care"

Finally companies have started dogfooding their own products and it seem to be with the worst possible product.

There is rarely a day where I’m not upset with whoever decided that CSS‘s `display` should handle three things at the same time: - visibility (none) - outer display type + semantic meaning (block/inline/list and table things) - inner display type (flex/grid) This is just horrible for composability.

Our brain looks for faces. Two dots and a line are enough to make us see a face. The urge is so strong that we don’t even see it as an illusion. The face might not be real, but it is there. Seeing just two dots and a line instead of a face almost takes effort. A thread 🧵👇

AI will replace everything in area X, which I can prove by this example of an AI actually solving a problem in that area (to a certain degree)

@bsky.app please allow setting the time format independently from the app language. I want English but 24 time. Like a normal person.

git encourages a „Yesterdays code‘s fine, so today’s changes should be as focused as possible“ mentality. AI agents are more like „lets rewrite unrelated stuff from scratch because I felt like it might be related, never to undo that unnecessary change“ We will soon loose the art of good PRs.

LLMs aiming for sustainability, must build high level architectures that isolates complexity. Implementing features usually is rather trivial compared to overall architecture. This is equally true for humans. The majority of both are bad at it.

All opinions about everything are to be placed on a one dimensional line. Where the ends are the only valid options. With one end being the correct one.

Does anyone know about some good writing about how the Atmosphere/Bluesky architecture aims to be resilient against developing itself into a corner? e.g. what will happen when a design decision turns out to be a dead end and there would either be breaking change or tech debt.

Apple getting rid of all the iSomething names, but keeping it for their flagship product (and iMacs) because it’s too big to change is the least Apple thing imaginable.

this is a great (albeit wordy) article that really gives you pause for thought about how crap the workflows are in most creative apps. ikennd.ac/blog/2026/01... worth a read if you make any kind of creative tool

VSCode has become so unbearably slow that I’m honestly considering switching to VIM. Turning off all the unwanted AI suggestions has become a major burden.

🕳️ 🕳️ 🕳️ New topological T-Shirt emoji just dropped.

Just found out that as awesome it might sound that @container queries support height queries, this only works for containers with explicit height i.e. container where you already know the height.

Given their handling of any physical unit, decimal separators and date formats I think we can all appreciate that at last the United States adopted left to right writing.

Wordpress strength isn’t it’s plugin eco system. Wordpress weakness is that even for basic things you have to pray someone build and still maintains a plugin because doing any customization yourself is incredibly cumbersome.

🔥 Hot Take: I bet a fairly experienced developer could learn React and Next (or similar frameworks) from scratch and then build a custom site in less time then it would take an experienced WordPress developer to build a custom site that can’t just the cobbled together with plugins.

Never in the history of humankind have people received so many cards written by AI and so many presents picked by machines as today.

Here are two lists which are both sorted alphabetically: 1. List: - foo - foo-bar 2. List: - foo-bar.a - foo.a I’m very angry that this is correct! (ノಠ益ಠ)ノ彡┻━┻

It’s crazy how many CI tools implicitly assume automated tests are expensive, slow and run infrequently. While that’s often true, we should prioritize making CI fast enough to run as often as possible.

Support for `monospace` via backticks. Ideally multiline code with tripple-backticks. Developers of Bluesky would rejoice!

I can’t put into words for how long I’ve been waiting for such a rule! `no-unsafe-type-assertion`

How do you pronounce it? Like: Blues-kee (as in Blues + Big Lebowski) Comment: Bloo-sky (as in Mr Blue Sky) Share: Blew-sk-why? (as in „it blew up, click sound, why“) Block me: Bee-loo-skee (WTF) Delete Bluesky: X (Twitter) Bookmark this post: Bl‘sk-eeh (the u is silent)

The amount of ELO jokes here is disappointing.

If there is not algorithm to game on Bluesky, who will become famous? People who actually post good content???

Literally googled „why isn’t Theo on Bluesky“ today. Guess I did the thing where I swore it wasn’t there, and then it magically appeared when someone else looked.
