Mostly I find the new CSS standards work a significant reduction in voodoo, but the frameworks add more back. You might enjoy Front End Study Hall:

There should be a central repo of skills files for llms or something... I guess they did that for rules files but the space moves too fast.
Blacksky is built in Rust because I wanted to learn Rust and thought it would be a fun little, chill side-project.
Kinda feels like we're at that stage where every site was using twitter bootstrap, but now it's shadcn
I've noticed a trend of just hiding scrollbars entirely. I think theres something to the idea that the user will figure it out...
Why is chromes scrollbar so ugly compared to firefox? Is it using my OS theme or did they just not care? Seems crazy I have to use a shadcn component to get a scrollbar that isn't disgusting. Especially since it adds display table junk and destroys everything it touches. π‘ Yes I'm mad.
tRPC is the best
There is so much voodoo going on with the new (more like 5 years old) css stuff. Having chatgpt hand hold me through what all this stuff does is now the only way I can learn π€£
CSS nesting is now Baseline π

game theory and fnaf have lowkey poisoned the media analysis skills of people my age. it shouldn't be a huge deal if you can predict how a story is going to develop over time based on context clues and themes. if you can do that it means the writer did a good job

If I ever had a DNA editing robot Iβd probably name it Gene Hackman as a little joke.
"Selling out" used to be a bad thing. It still is but it used to be too.
yea I probably should just learn to use my eslint config π
Many years ago, I was a consulting game designer and one of our clients was a part of "start up culture" out in the bay area. Good people, good product - no shade here. But, one thing they told me and my business partner has always stood out:
"Oh, your consultancy is a lifestyle business." 1/
I like how eslint in my editor tells me to convert from || to ?? but then it breaks the intended expression.
disabled={a||b||c}
//a,b are boolean, b is boolean|undefined so eslint says use ??
disabled={a??b??c}
//now its broken and eslint doesn't complain that b??c is dead code π
I had similar thoughts about blocking by country. It's so easy to get around it probably isn't worth it. Also it makes it easier to filter out for analytics so you can see the real users.
So the question is are these real users signing up? Or are they Chinese bots scraping content off my site? π€
Is the anti AI sentiment I'm seeing in some more left leaning communities the beginning of anti AI humanoid discrimination?
