I'm determined to write 1600 words every day in November. Most years I try and fall off after a week or so, but I REALLY want to prove to myself that I can do it. I've had a story burning in my brain for about 4 years now and just want to get it down on paper and organized into something real!

I’m still waiting for the Blue Sky iOS app to remember the last post I read so I can scroll up for new content. Always showing the most recent post means I have to scroll down and I have no idea how many new posts there are. I actually submitted this feedback formally a while ago. Alas.

Convinced my fellow front-end colleague in the new project we're setting up, that we can have a headless UI library, and an accessible one at that. Whoopeeeeee, FINALLY I am spending work hours writing CSS!!! ✨🤩🎉 Have chosen to use Adobe React Aria Components for the gnarlier UI challenges. Happy!

Well Well Well If it isn’t ski season 🫶

hi, here is a picture of my dog:

The real social divide between Gen z and millennials is that Gen z is always wearing a cute fit to the concert and millennials are wearing the rattiest black t-shirt and jeans they can find

GENIE: So, and I really never do this, but I just want to clarify: you want to use your three wishes to make sure you never have to wash a colander, cheese grater, or a whisk for the rest of your life. ME: That’s correct.

I guess I'm saying, make the thing because you want to make the thing, and be prepared for a total non-response. Then pick yourself up and move onto the next project. Maybe that will be the one that sets the world alight.

October 31st VS November 1st

my life with @marisamorby.bsky.social

Switching my main platform here from Twitter. Let’s take the steps to make changes to this situation. Cheers 🦋

is anyone else getting multiple notifications from me following them?

Feeling good about this copy of my site design.

Old Twitter thread of past years: https://x.com/cheshire137/status/793104972510527488

just put this thing on the react site footer. feel free to copy paste https://github.com/reactjs/react.dev/pull/7273/files#diff-2a2cd1638bf48008bde199a07d7c50ef698bd6f741a1fb786879ef8c6f0b4ca7

The new Google Assistant voice model struggles with place names. I found one that makes it hallucinate. Welsh speakers: I apologise for my pronunciation of Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch

This has left me wanting a Welsh Pokémon though. Pokemwn, perhaps

As someone who also tried to migrate to Mastodon as well, @patak.dev addresses many of the reasons I think Bluesky has a much better chance of sticking this time around. [contains quote post or other embedded content]

setting twitter to light mode so I wouldnt want to use it https://media.tenor.com/7HUogy7rXs4AAAAC/feel-me-think-about-it.gif?hh=216&ww=330

JavaScript is all you need? Microsoft has released a scripting language that allows you to make LLM-based scripts with simplified JavaScript. microsoft.github.io/genaiscript/ https://microsoft.github.io/genaiscript/

It's exciting to see so many folks from the tech community join this week. If we haven't met, I'm Geri 👋 I'm a designer working in design system and accessibility. I occasionally write nerdy stuff and speak at events. This is Arthur, my Frenchie, who looks even goofier on 3 legs.

Give me a gold star!!!! I finished the FULL FIRST DRAFT of the script for my next web comic!!! 30,000 words!!!!!!!! I could cry. I actually finished a story.

Thanks to the starter kit feature, not only is my social graph almost fully-healed over here, but I’ve found a bunch of new people I didn’t know before! Very exciting! Wave if you’ve never heard of me before!

Gists are such a good idea because the amount of code sample images without alt on twitter was grim

if i ever see you using bitwise math in javascript i will shoot you in the face with a bazooka unless you can explain why in detail with notes

One thing I noticed on Twitter was how my engagement had slowly been dropping in the last 6-months. I don't plan on cross-posting there anymore, but for one last one, earlier today I did one as a test to see. My audience there is 40x bigger... same engagement.

to be fair, you find everything to be easy to build from scratch
