Ah, so that’s where Prof. Skelebone went last year: lost in the couch cushions.

At long last, the time has arrived to put the finishing touches on JavaScript

I have to say following tweets about this book for the last few months has given me a sense that it has a necronomiconesque quality, filled to the overflowing with eldritch knowledge and horrors (and as I write this it occurs me that may be altogether appropriate given the actual subject matter)

there's no law that says i can't say things like "rime-wreathed" in a thing about javascript you see if i don't mention "aether" or some shit too i am very tired

At long last, the time has arrived to put the finishing touches on JavaScript for Everyone. Let’s see; airhorns.midi, airhorns.midi… gotta be one out there somewhere, yeah?

I will not conclude the `async`/`await` lesson with “death to Chronos.” I will not conclude the `async`/`await` lesson with “death to Chronos.” I will not conclude the `async`/`await` lesson with “death to Chronos.” I will not concl

One of the very first sentences I wrote for JavaScript for Everyone was “JavaScript can struggle to escape the entities that dwell within the astral planes, but don't we all” and I’ve been chasing that feeling ever since.

Ok folks, this is the last reminder about Mindful Design pre-orders. Once today is over, that's it and the cheapest it'll be (aside from PPP) won't happen again! piccalil.li/mindful-design

This whole section really.

Something I'd like to try my hand at is giving a proper conference talk. I'm brimming with ideas, and speaking arrangements seem like the natural next thing for me to do. Certainly difficult as someone who lives in Western Australia, but something that I'd like to pursue nonetheless.

i just know they're gonna announce ES-263 right after i finish writing this course and i'll have to start all over again

So it begins.

With Mindful Design, you’re not only going to really learn how the brain works and how to design an equitable, genuinely helpful experience for users. You’re also going to learn how to apply that by learning practical, transferable design skills that will elevate your work beyond recognition.

One wonders if they can get away with "Yeah, Strict Mode. Strict Mode is the Greatest" for a lesson title, as a youth of the 90s.

JavaScript for Everyone official status: editing in progress

The hardest part of writing this course so far is accepting that I cannot get away with “JavaScript 3.11 for Workgroups Tournament Edition final FINAL - Featuring Dante from the Devil May Cry Series” as a theoretical “what if JavaScript had breaking changes” versioning example.

The hardest part of harvesting honey during peak yellowjacket season is needing to run all the way back to the hive when I suddenly wake up on the bench at the park two blocks away.

Found an antique buried in the workshop.

In this week’s JavaScript for Everyone newsletter, a shameful secret revealed: I never joined the Nintendo Fun Club, despite the sage advice of Doc Louis in Punch-Out!! for the NES. Also, my thoughts on courses—like this one—offering certifications. wil.to/newsletters/...

I'm sure they're not headed to his house *right now*, are they?

Thanks to @ichris.bsky.social my Twitch videos are now me biffing it in embarrassing ways in classic Mega Man games _and_ almost accidentally confessing to literal crimes from my youth while live on stream. Never has my personal brand been more accurately represented. www.twitch.tv/wiltostreams

Starting shortly! bsky.app/profile/did:...

At last, the usual JavaScript for Everyone newsletter returns, and so too does the stream. I’ve been thinking a lot about certifications—just as a whole concept—and I could use some outside perspectives. Join us at www.youtube.com/watch?v=UDn6... or www.twitch.tv/wiltostreams in half an hour, yeah?

A permanent out-of-office email reply reading “you look down and you see a tortoise; it’s crawling towards you. You reach down and you flip the tortoise over on its back. You’re not helping. Why is that?”

> A class can only have one method named `constructor()`, so as to avoid a situation where JavaScript finds itself standing on a rain-swept rooftop, looking at two identical methods, crying out "which one do I execute." If I don't think I can get away with it in a draft, I subject all of you to it.

Looking for a front-of-the-front-end developer who works close to the web platform? Or perhaps someone to write some words on the matter? I've got some freelance availability as of next week, so get in contact. My contact details, portfolio, and other such things can be found over at vale.rocks

> We said to `yield "A value."` so `yield "A value."` it does, and now the game is paused, before the `firstYield` variable is initialized. If I thought I could get away with a deep-cut reference to the "pause" music from _Battletoads_ for the NES, I'd make one here, but I can't, so I won't.

Hey, any of you ever found an (online) American Sign Language course that you really enjoyed? I am unbelievably rusty for lack of practice.

The newsletter went out a little early this week, so come join me while I work on the course itself—and maybe noodle on a couple of medium-spicy blog posts I’ve had kicking around in the back of my mind for a while: youtube.com/live/vYifAwP... or twitch.tv/wiltostreams, as usual.

This was pushed out with a rushed security review, a coerced and unwilling engineering team, and in full opposition to our supposed company values. If you don't want it, tell them. Social media and support forums. Leadership won't listen to employees. github.blog/changelog/20...

“Sure, Hollow Knight: Silksong is cool—but you kids wanna know a even _cooler_ way to learn about neat bugs?” I enthusiastically thump on the side of my beehive, which produces a furious, high-pitched roar in response. It is my final action on this Earth.

Alright, this is it. Today is the your last chance to snag a spot in the course at the lowest possible price. Head on over to piccalil.li/javascript-f... to lock it in, and I'll see you in the Discord. Also, this reminder comes with a little formal announcement: wil.to/newsletters/...

I did not expect one of my most productive plants to be a peach tree, here in New England.
