Web developer, emigrant, nerd, pun-creator. Bleeting about code and miscellaneous distractions I find while I'm building internet things. Probably more optimistic than I should be, but I don't think that's a problem πŸ—© they/them 🌐 https://andribraun.dev

If you use ncu (npm-check-updates), try this: ncu --interactive --format group

How have I been sleeping on this so long

Astro Astro builds fast content sites, powerful web applications, dynamic server APIs, and everything in-between.

Man, I love Astro so much. As if the automatic 100 performance scores and ability to use components from any framework weren't enough, it just has all the nice little things that I don't want to roll myself, like sitemap generation and internationalization. astro.build

Font Awesome has icons in different weights. So, if you want to use a "regular" weight, you add the "far" class for "Font Awesome Regular".

They also have a "thin" icon set, and obviously the prefix class for that is "fat".

That is all.

On the bright side, at least they're being dismissed when they fail.

ICE agents have to know exactly which rights they're violating, after all

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

Actually you might not be a bot--if you are in fact a human OF model with real sympathy for devops problems I apologize :D

As a developer, I am only too glad to have operations folks telling me what to do in order to keep the users happy :D

At least it's some job security--can't leave Shopify apps alone for 2 seconds

Shopify just auto-migrated my app to some "next-gen developer" thing, so now my apps need emergency reconfig. Of course, this happened right while I was trying to do ANOTHER emergency fix. Like, maybe give me 10 warning emails and let me migrate on my own time instead of randomly dropping this?

Part of my job is now reviewing and correcting AI-generated code, and while it has quite a few issues, the most annoying one is that it apparently just refuses to use SCSS. It can be working on an SCSS module with established nesting, and it decides to add its own unnested class right at the bottom.

A screenshot of a Facebook comment addressed to "Andrew Braun". In the post, the commenter asks "What's wrong with authoritarianism specifically?" And goes on to argue that Georgian and Ukrainian lives are being sacrificed in an unwinnable war that will ultimately result in Ukraine losing land. The commenter then criticizes European liberal democracies because they "lock you away for advocating for your ethnic group not being displayed as the majority", and argues that this is a bigger threat to Europe than Russia is.

My pointless Facebook debates honestly don't usually go straight to the other person straight-up admitting that they're pro-authoritarian and racist.

Maybe he's worried about losing his 100% unquestionably perfect deal-making record :D

Mostly a joke, but Trump's ego is not an insignificant part of his decision-making.

Confusingly, elements like radio buttons fire a click event even when they were selected via a keyboard navigation. Figuring out whether a user is navigating a form using arrows keys or mouse is more confusing than I thought it would be!

TIL that JavaScript primitives are passed by value whereas objects and arrays are passed by reference. So a = 1 will always be 1 if you pass it to a function, but a = { value: 1 } can be updated.

I don't often have to track state in vanilla JS, so this just somehow never came up before!

Mozilla boss Brendan Eich resigns after gay marriage storm The chief executive of Mozilla, who had been heavily criticised for supporting a ban on same-sex marriage, has stepped down.

I still use a bit of Brave here and there, but it's worth noting that it's run by Brendan Eich, who left Mozilla in 2014 over his homophobic views.

And I prefer Firefox as a browser anyway!

It's strangely comforting when my AI coding assistant just starts spinning in circles trying to figure out TypeScript. Me too, buddy, me too.

Sometimes AI is smart. Other times, it wants to use a switch statement to convert an aspect ratio from 16:9 to 56.25.

My favorite thing is when he half-listens to someone who half-understands some programming/database thing and fires off the world's most disprovable tweet about it.

Pro(grammer) tip: naming all your variables in complex functions with just one letter is super cool and will make other programmers respect you. Why name something "indexOfSymbol" when you could instead name it "p"? Assigning the value of an input? How about "nm" instead of "inputValue"?

this is how i know the CIA is not what it used to be because they killed JFK for less than this.

Cline - Autonomous Coding Agent for VSCode Cline is an AI-powered coding assistant for Visual Studio Code.

Just started using Cline (cline.bot) last week and it's basically the missing piece of GitHub Copilot! I know Copilot has an agent mode behind the insiders build of VS Code, and I'll definitely give it a shot when it hits the release, but Cline has been super pleasant to use so far.

This track is 5 years old, but the lyrics are about human roles being automated away and corporate overlords destroying progress... sound familiar?
