Bad design can actually harm users. I'm not sure enough people understand this, especially for services that involve money. Working for a bank taught me the harsh reality, but I'm sure the same outcomes can happen for people who cannot access their benefits, for example. Design is so important.

I'm so hopeful about this treatment. My wife suffers from lupus; it's a horrible condition. https://www.science.org/content/article/breakthrough-cancer-immunotherapy-now-taking-aim-autoimmune-disease

problem with being an ingredients household is that circa five times a year I actually really don't want to cook and end up having a truly unhinged lunch of, to take today as an example, "muesli, kimchi, a tin of tuna and some raspberries"

it took me a solid five years in my early twenties to realize that when someone asks me to grab coffee with them, I should not answer "no thanks, I don't like coffee" 🫠 [contains quote post or other embedded content]

Wrote my first custom eslint rule today. Surprised how easy it was! Literally 20 minutes and I had it doing what I wanted. 10 more and I'd written tests as well

Super helpful, especially hovering code/ast and it highlighting the corresponding section on the other side. I found a number of tests where there wasn't chained an assertion onto a mock. So they'd never fail no matter what. The eslint rule shouts at you if you forget the assertions :)

Yeah! My first port of call was to email everyone, give them a heads up about that pitfall. But then I thought why not automate it so people don't have to remember. Writing the rule was a fun end to the week :)

I genuinely like my LinkedIn feed, using it as a milquetoast palate cleanser. I go there ~once a month when I need a tiny bit of safe novelty. Mind you, it baffles me how it holds anyone's attention for long when it is so devoid of shitposts

Earlier this week, I explained to one of my mentees how in the earlier days of the web, all the blogs had RSS feeds and configuring a feed reader was super easy. She seemed shocked at the idea of a continual cadence of good engineering articles, and it struck me how much we’ve lost. 😢

I think one of the things that made RSS beautiful is that the format was simple enough that a curious undergrad CS student could easily build their own tooling for it: there’s a good reason that “blog with an RSS feed” was the default tutorial project for many years!

I'm seriously tempted to build an ATProto app view where we all get 3 ❤️'s to give everyday to 3 of our lucky friends. https://media.tenor.com/w6Ow10J0atMAAAAC/how-do-you-do-fellow-kids-steve-buscemi.gif?hh=498&ww=498

I still remember walking to the corner mart in the small village I grew up in (it sold groceries, books, and rented VHS/Video Games) and seeing the Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past golden box and being absolutely in awe of it - it was always on the top shelf lol
