I struggled to find the right gif to represent this .. Bane came to mind but this will do better. BBSes are part of my origin story. First websites in the 90s. 👴💾 https://media.tenor.com/gnXL1vdsASQAAAAC/hackers-jonny.gif?hh=249&ww=498

Absolutely!

How did you get into web development? MySpace? Comp sci? Made the jump from print? Bootcamp?

Hey All 👋🏻 I’m Laurie, I’m a Software Engineer at Netflix working on a kotlin, graphql, typescript, react stack. I’ve written and developed a lot of content in the past, but admit to being delinquent these days 😅 laurieontech.com https://laurieontech.com/

dev.to blog: instead of using a language feature that has existed since the Clinton admin, you should be using this alternative which isn't even in the draft and was first mentioned last week at an ECMA whiteboarding session

Bit late to the game, but I've made a Front-end Friend starter pack 😊. I know I forgot people from this, but I think it's a good start! go.bsky.app/FfLUXeQ (I also made a CSS-only one: go.bsky.app/JQYmgQH) [contains quote post or other embedded content]

Big Ball of Mud may be the best software engineering paper ever written. Every paragraph has me violently nodding along

🌠 For years, the #1 most requested feature in CSS was Container Queries. We wanted them so badly! Well, they’ve arrived… and none of us are using them. 😂 I think I know why, and I just published a new blog post that will hopefully change that! Check it out: https://www.joshwcomeau.com/css/container-queries-introduction/

A little preview of what I've been working on this evening. Im ironing out a couple of bugs but will hopefully have a link to share soon! I'm having a lot of fun! 🦋

People don’t understand how important this is to scaling decentralization. Even the data isn’t that big of a deal. But the traffic? Game changer For reference: on mastodon, hachyderm goes through 1TB+ of egress data a day. The network charges for that alone would bankrupt most people [contains quote post or other embedded content]

I got promoted here at the big G. It feels completely surreal because I started so long ago as a little jr level L3. Today I'm an L7 and my official title is entirely too long to post. I've been blessed to have a job that I've loved so much for this long.

This place needs more cats

The further I get in my developer journey, the more I realize the value of my time working alongside the folks at thoughtbot.com. They really kicked my ass into shape as a developer.

Next read lined up !

I feel like half of programming is remembering how weird stuff works and the other half is setting things up so that you do not have to remember the weird stuff

Finished my first playthrough of Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered. Some quick thoughts: - Graphics are huge upgrade and looks great. - New Dialog Animations are awesome. - Disappointed not more QoL we got in HFW did not get added. - Small mistakes the original made are still there.

hey frontend folks 👋 missed ya :) how’s it going here? what do you like? what is annoying or confusing?

• Very positive experience so far! • App seems to work well, I haven’t hit any bugs 😄 • I wish there was a "mentions" tab in the notifications, I find they sometimes get lost amongst all the other notifications

I’d like to implement press-and-hold to collapse a thread And Bookmarks. And hopefully my Notifications PR isn’t a waste of time 😅

Since we were formerly tech-twitter, it must mean that we're now tech-sky? 🦋 So "twitterverse" is now just "skyverse" or just "the sky"? 😆🤔

Today feels like a good day to delete the Twitter app from my device.

I told myself I’d disconnect from social media and avoid as much election related information as I could. Meanwhile me with my phone:

Trying to explain the Twitter exodus to my parents and why Bluesky is different

Back from a two weeks break ! Seems like almost everyone moved to BSky 😂 what happened?

I recently stumbled into the world of “creamy” and “thocky” keyboards. Ordered this puppy, and my goodness, it’s so satisfying to type on. https://nuphy.com/products/halo75 Tried to record a quick video, but it just doesn't sound the same on camera!

Yay got my first PR to the bsky app merged 🎉 I like it here 🦋
