Vince Aggrippino πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΈπŸ‡²πŸ‡Ύ (@VinceAggrippino@techhub.social) Today, I showed genuine interest in someone, smiled, and encouraged them to talk about themselves. I was immediately told that people don't like to be asked about themselves. I replied "I don't care."...

What "normal" people do to connect with people only works by virtue of some innate quality that you don't understand and take for granted because everybody has it. Well... everybody except for me.

99% of Job Applicants Have No Chance | Vince's Website

I usually associate tech influencers with dubious optimism but, recently on the Modern Web podcast, @dthompsondev.bsky.social admitted that 99% of applicants aren't even worth talking to. So, I wrote a about it: aggrippino.com/2025/05/99-o...

Accessible Animated Star Rating | Vince's Website

I saw a neat CSS-only animated star widget in a Mastodon post and was inspired to create an accessible version.

My version requires JavaScript, but with good reason and it has several advantages over the CSS-only version.

@kcg.bsky.social I'm gonna use the "Question Hound" meme in a post. I'd like to link back to the original author. It might result in a merch purchase or patreon patron. Do you have a link you'd prefer me to use? I'll just use your linktree link unless you tell me different.

I'm looking forward to today's Homebrew Website Club - Writing Edition

I really struggle with creating interesting content. I've got a lot to learn and I'm hoping to find some inspiration as well.

CSS code showing the recommended style for visually hidden text followed by a rule that unsets all the visually hidden styling if it immediately follows a FontAwesome icon that is currently being hovered.

CSS code showing the recommended style for visually hidden text followed by a rule that unsets all the visually hidden styling if it immediately follows a FontAwesome icon that is currently being hovered.

Hide this text for sighted users because there's a FontAwesome icon that represents it. But sighted users might mouseover the icon if they don't know what it means, so don't hide the text in that case ...

The <menu> Element | Vince's Website

I just discovered the <menu> tag. Why aren't we all using this for our site navigation menus?

Do you use a tool to generate .gitignore files, or write them manually?

gitignore .io will generate 165 lines for my current project, but the following seems to work for me:

```
node_modules
.vscode
.env
```

Graphical tools are great for a diff. For everything else with Git, the command line is much better.
