I wish AI didn’t lie so much about tests passing… I love Warp but it excuses away any tests that don’t pass unless I do them myself. Come on, dude, you can’t even lie well. I feel sorry for you. Just tell me the tests didn’t pass.

Last year we wrote an article on all the ways position:sticky can fail and to this day it remains in the top 10 of weekly most visited pages.
Getting stuck with sticky? This is the post for you.

I can't read any of this, but this is some great typography by Soviet artist Solomon Telingater in 1928: telingater.togdazine.ru/article/425

Avoiding TypeScript because you “know JavaScript well” is like refusing to wear a seatbelt because you “know how to drive well”.

@peithos.bsky.social I’d love to see your work in cartography or hear where you’re headed in it! Maps are always sweet.
I wake up feeling like this a lot! I’m volunteering as a programmer for a trans advocacy group now to do my small part…

My first open source Astro theme! Complete with light and dark mode, mesh gradients, fluid typography, and more. Find it at www.github.com/yakbrother/g.... I used it in the new design of my blog, timeaton.dev. Feel free to use and modify if you like it! #templates #withastro

My goal for 2025 - have at least 5 less surgeries than in 2024. And produce some new open source ideas I have in my notebook.
Yes, nice! I’m updating to the new content layer API and removing tailwind right now. Astro is loads of fun!
Same! What is your new framework?
The surgery was tough but successful, and I even walked 200m the next day! That’s a good sign, I imagine.
After two years of pain due to infections and my body rejecting prosthetics - I go into surgery for fourth and hopefully final hip tomorrow. Wish me luck! I want to hike and run again!
Thanks for the detailed answer! I understand now. I’m going to try it in an upcoming project.
I’m just discovering it. But why wasn’t docker good enough, I’m curious?
One would hope. 😜
Maybe 20% naming things. Not to mention another 15% if your company loves to call meetings…
