Had a blast over on the Whiskey Web and Whatnot podcast along with @nerdy.dev and @robbiethewagner.dev.
We talked about whether CSS is a programming language, touched on Tailwind, and questioned why AI is still pretty bad at CSS, and nerded out about CSS in general 😊

Is #CSS A programming language?

We recently joined @robbiethewagner.dev and Chuck on @whiskey.fm to chat about modern #WebDev and #PWA on flip phones with Cloud Phone. Give it a listen and let us know what you'd like the build for the next billion!

You can get security things that make it so you cannot steal the Nest cams too and I have little solar panels for mine so I never have to take them down to charge.
I say yes
Can someone use AI to make one of these that doesn’t get paint on the ceiling? 😒
You heard it here first, @angiejones.tech says BitTorrent is the new blockchain 🔥

Astro is like buying a house that is already painted the color you want because it mostly leverages native browser functionality 😎.
Meta frameworks are like taping all the edges, so you cannot mess up, and then blasting everything with a paint sprayer.
EmberJS is like a paint roller. It can do a lot quickly, and it is hard to mess up. You cannot do everything you can do with a tiny brush, but that is okay, it serves its purpose.
React is like the 1 inch paint brush. You can technically paint everything with it. It’s all purpose and precise, but it will take you forever to paint a large room or multiple rooms, but for a focused small task, it really shines.
I’ve been painting a lot recently and it’s really made me think about the “right tool for the job” mentality.
IPAs are gross 🤮
Sam Altman is the Once-ler
Yesterday we got the @emberjs.com RFC that will make @vite.dev the default build system for new apps accepted 🎉🎊🎉
We now have a plan that is all agreed and we just need to make it happen 💪
This is a great holiday OSS present for me 🎁🎄😍🐹
I’ve been recording Christmas songs here and there for the past decade, figured I would share them 🎅
I can’t promise that these songs are any good, but I can promise you’ll see a much younger and skinnier picture of me in a festive sweater 😂

Looks like my bookshelf 😂
Heh it is kind of both, and the answer is always “it depends”.
That’s a good philosophy 👍
Not sure I am following what you meant here?
Totally agree. Mainly trying to highlight the point that a lot of developers like to introduce artificial complexity and say they are good engineers because of it, and I would argue the opposite 😉
What makes you more of an “engineer”?
- Being able to write super complex code and algorithms
- Knowing when to reach for an existing package
