I'm doing *actual* intermittent fasting (18 hour fast) until xmas eve. And I must say, it makes after work drinks much cheaper.

I have accomplished only 1 of my new year's resolutions this year (leave facebook). Weak sauce. Most disappointed in my reading. Haven't tracked but definitely far off the goal.

Is intermittent fasting just a douche way of saying "I don't eat breakfast"?

Happy to not have an account for any of these.

Great time to fork WP 6.8 and take it in a non-sloppy direction!

You should read The Final Testament of the Holy Bible by James Frey. It's great. First book I've ever read twice. #booksky

Which activity drains your mind and body the most: Running an ultra marathon? or letting your 12 year old have four friends over and stay up as long as they want?

I guess it's fitting that it's a reimagined, worse version of someone else's artwork

Memories. I got started at 10, programming HTML for the Netscape browser. Overusing the <MARQUEE> tag. All caps html tags of course. #frontend #webdev

Making some progress on the #EveryLayout block plugin! #wordpress codeberg.org/markusfinell...

Big Harry Potter chocolate frog wizard collector cards vibe here!

I need to start writing more. And learn weaving. Anyone interested in handmade woven bracelets with web/code-related designs? #webdev #frontend #etsy

Eine Handvoll Konzerne kontrolliert die Infrastruktur, auf der das gesamte Web ruht. Cloudflare für die Verkehrsregelung, AWS und Azure für die Server, Google für die Suche... Die Grafik, gesehen bei @alexmak.net, passt perfekt zu meiner heutigen Freitagskolumne für #dnip: dnip.ch/2025/11/21/v...

Here’s my Spotify Wrapped 🎵✨

are you excited for MINDFUL DESIGN ADVENT? what is #MindfulDesignAdvent i do not hear you ask? it’s a daily dose of some course related stuff in a transparent attempt to convince you it is good and to buy it! for day one, you can watch the INTRO (wow!!!) for FREE (huh?!!) piccalil.li/mindful-desi...

I am going to pick up my long forgotten plans to build a wp-plugin with each layout as its own block! #wordpress #everylayout

It's a sad state when the people that inspires you the most have to struggle: bell.bz/its-been-a-v.... I'll be saving up to buy all of @piccalil.li's courses for myself. It seems like a valuable investment for the future. #webdev #frontend

me: "I don't need your CSS layout guide I'm a professional 😤" also me:

I don’t know howwww people are vibe coding without knowing how to _actually_ code My workflow has been: Claude helps me a little Claude regresses I help Claude Claude tells me I was right all along I close Claude I do the rest myself

Could it be possible to build a WP↔️Astro/MDX parser in PHP, and use that to manage Astro content locally in WP, then build and sync to server? 🤔

Tried Reeder for 5 minutes. Hooked. Done. Sold.

Mixins! Love it!

Someone on linkedin is SO proud of the fact that a DJ *THEY KNOW* played "their" *AI-MADE* song at a party cruise. I need something stronger than the face-palm emoji... *face-smashed-through-desk-emoji* #aislop

Spotify is crashing HARD because of the boycott. Their stock dropped 11% in value over the last month. Let’s keep this going! Tell everyone you know to boycott Spotify. There are plenty of alternatives that don’t run ICE advertisements and screw over artists. We made it easy at boycottspotify.com.

The first lady of NYC has a pretty dope website! www.ramaduwaji.com #webdev

Normal-OS känns problematiskt att säga.

Finally started to move my personal site to codeberg. Byeee github!

“I asked chat GPT”

Working on a "double switcher" layout, based on the Switcher from #everylayout by @bell.bz and @heydonworks.com. n/2 columns at threshold 1, single column at threshold 2. Might need some cleanup, but works! Even prevents the last odd item to from going full width! #css codepen.io/mfinell/pen/...

The Swedish word for "doomscrolling" is "dumscrolla" which means "to stupidly scroll".

We are thrilled to announce that our NEW Large Language Model will be released on 11.18.25.

On the first day in office, this President pardoned actual violent insurrectionists who stormed our Capitol. Now he’s making up shit in Portland to justify using the military AGAINST the American people. Real POS behavior from this TEMU dictator.

When communicating with clients/editors/anyone-using-the-site-you-built about accessibility, is it better to use soft language ("for a11y purposes, it would be preferred if...") or hard ("Doing x this way is bad for a11y, do better 😡")? #webdev #a11y #accessibility #wordpress

2025 redesign is done before 2026! Whew! finell.dev

When did "front end developer" start to mean "[insert js-framework] developer"?

We built a calculator that doesn't work, but don't worry, it's also a plagiarism machine that will tell you to kill yourself. It runs on the world's oceans and costs 10 trillion dollars.

Eye-opening. I try to position myself as the counterweight to the AI-hype at work. #sisyphus

Wins because less is more.

Aaand the search for a small farm for sale is on! Anyone interested in home grown gooseberry jam?

As vibe-coded apps and self-creating websites become the norm, luxe companies will pay large dollars for bespoke, hand-crafted HTML and CSS.

This is very good. www.404media.co/the-medias-p...

I think "Artisanal Web Developer" is a perfectly reasonable thing to call yourself, to make it absolutely clear that your code will be human-made.

I think this is the root of my disdain towards AI too (along with the environmental damage and straight-up exploitation). The industry has been severely lacking in quality for so long that the slop AI vomits out seems alright, comparatively. Anyway, get back to moving the needle on those KPIs!

The last two "big" announcements from Silicon Valley: 1) Figma sites: inaccessible mess 2) Apple Liquid Glass: inaccessible mess I can't actually remember the last time Silicon Valley came up with something that was actually good.
