Yeah, super lazy. And sure to make people become blind to what it’s actually communicating to them. Laws are hard.

Virginian here! We passed a law requiring business to disclose if they collect info about customers’ reproductive health shopping/purchases. Walmart chose to comply by showing all Virginians that modal no matter what they’re shopping for. 🙄 virginiamercury.com/briefs/new-v...
I'm moving into a new role at work so my current team is hiring my replacement! If you're local to SF, Austin, or Madison, love React, and have have some backend experience in Ruby or Java, take a look! zendesk.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/zendes...

At least you can drink from your toilet.
Wow, @danabra.mov does such a fantastic job of walking his readers through the thought process behind RSCs in this post. As someone who’s mostly adopted a “wait and see” stance, I came away a lot more excited about RSCs now that I better understand the problems they’re solving. Thanks, Dan!
Feeling validated in my decision to cancel my subscription a few months ago. But also… this is really sad. The Post is my hometown paper and it kills me to see it being driven into the ground like this.
TIL how @tailwindcss.com v4 supports functional utilities so that you can define your own abstractions that take *arguments*, right in your CSS file! I wrote up a blog post about how I'm using this to create a text gradient util: www.kylegoggin.com/blog/text-gr...
A reminder:
1. Elon Musk's wealth is mostly in Tesla stock
2. Tesla is successful because at a key moment in 2009 the federal government gave it a $465 million loan so it could make sedans
3. Musk is now firing thousands of government workers and slashing every service ordinary people depend on
If you're curious, here are the docs on functional utilities tailwindcss.com/docs/adding-..., and here's a Play example I whipped up to show what I'm doing: play.tailwindcss.com/ktVw4MhMz6

Repeating myself, but the idea of Trump & Musk as "masculine" remains bizarre. They're just the toxic and immature parts with none of the traditional "masculine" virtues. They're whiny, entitled, unreliable, dishonest, self-absorbed, never take responsibility, never put duty over self-interest, etc.
Super messy looking solder bridge on a circuit board
Took me a while, but I finally got around to doing this repair. A neighbor lent me their soldering iron which was... probably too big for this job. I used it anyway. Here's the incredibly messy, ugly, result. But, my speakers are fixed! And it was free!
I rewrote it in Astro towards the end of last year, but am finally getting around to starting to think through some content I'd like to put up there. I tend to enjoy writing when I actually take the time to do it, but finding the motivation is pretty tricky (at least for me). Anyone have any tips?

My speaker disassembled such that the inner circuit board is exposed, laying on my desk.
There’s a bad switch on my desktop monitors. I found an iFixit guide that tells me how to bypass it with a tiny amount of soldering. But, somehow I graduated with an Electrical Engineering BS and zero knowledge of how to solder anything. Guess it’s time to learn!
KITT? That you?

Started a rewatch of Severance to get ready for season 2 and DANG I forgot just how great this show is!
Finally I tried it in Safari and, tada! Everything worked! Turns out there’s a bug in Chromium: issues.chromium.org/issues/36059.... It’ll hang onto the original sprite even if you clear cache 😩. Hope they can fix this soon, what a pain. Good news is that my approach works great!
Spent this morning trying to set up an <svg> sprite (benadam.me/thoughts/rea...) in an Astro site and pulling my hair out because it seemed like my changes to the sprite would not show up in the browser. Network pane showed the latest sprite, even, but new icons I added just… weren’t there?
Core of Zendesk’s Support is still RoR as well, well over 2B requests hitting the app daily and growing rapidly as we do more and more with automated resolutions powered by AI. One of my coworkers did a talk on how we scale it a couple of years ago: youtu.be/mJw3al4Ms2o?...
I… think I agree? Give the advertisers another option and make sure this place stays economically viable.
Possibly unpopular opinion: I think people should be fine with non-behaviorally-targeted ads here. If you want to make Xitter even more economically unviable, don't you want to go after its major revenue stream when advertisers have already backed away from that platform?
Also: I feel like people are sleeping on Apple Fitness. I’ve tried a few different at-home workout programs but none have the breadth of content combined with instructors that actually make you feel good about working out, not yelling at you. It’s so good. Try it!
Apple Fitness is playing on the used TV I bought sitting amongst my kids’ stuff in our family rec room.
We’ve been a 0 or 1 TV family forever but we just “splurged” on a second one ($45 on the neighborhood FB group) for the sole purpose of doing Apple Fitness in our rec room. Huge (literally) upgrade from a tiny iPad screen!
I’m enjoying having the framework-y bits more in the background and focusing on craning out some HTML and CSS (well, Tailwind).
Maybe this is a good time to fess up: I started rewriting my personal site with Astro v5. It’s been a long time since I used anything other than React. So far Astro is nice! Feels refreshing to try something new.
I’d been kind of avoiding looking at React 19 too closely with all the stuff flying around about RSCs, which I currently have zero use for. But, there’s some cool stuff in there! The action stuff and use hook look super useful and I’m eager to try them out.
