as a developer my favourite thing about react componentisation is how it makes me and my team more readily replaceable
I remember seeing an argument on reddit between a css dev that understood the depth of the responsive design philosophy and a dismissive Reacter that shut them down by calling them an old "list-aparter"
we used to strive for minimum possible front-end payload, and it was an embarrassment to do anything with JS that wasn't backed up by a non-js default. Will never forget how suddenly React removed all those things from front-end team meetings.
They were solid industry-wide concerns that just... disappeared
Mastodon, too, will not give you anything if you have JS disabled.

thanks! I had to squeeze one out to avoid a whole year passing since my last blog post. Hopefully will keep 'em coming from here on. Settled nicely in Amsterdam now
This (driverless tech) is amazing for what it can do to help people that are old/poor and live in places with no public transport
Roark66, I like you, kid. You have a whole life ahead of you
also, thanks for the intro to "glowfic" - for a good chunk of my 20s I was obsessed with my side project which I called "plotplant" (dorky?) which was an infinitely forkable collaborative writing app. I never got it past a few different build attempts because I would always get caught in the weeds of how, if it were successful, the complexity of a story that had loads of branches would be navigated. My own personal xanadu. Anyway, this glowfic looks like a nightmare scenario that would keep me in them weeds, ruminating, "there has to be a better way!"
It's so hard to read when every bit has all that meta info next to it! Written by Eliezer or not
this story takes place in a totalitarian state ruled by the literal forces of literal Hell
Look, I'm giving it a go but the very first line of the content warnings is a case of "is this written by a grown man or a 14 year old emo kid"
i like how he sees the "consent problem" as just a communication thing. "if they could speak, they would be saying yes"
it’s also kind of fucking stupid to post an opinion like this on the fediverse of all places
this is the best mic drop savagery I've read in a while. There is no coming back from it.
he would have been tweeting about how science can't explain the mechanical turk
