too jumpy imo. especially the middle name when it jumps to a new line as you're typing—that's pretty jarring and unexpected.

the actual purpose of waterfall is management control, which is vastly more important than project success

i find myself writing something like this pretty frequently:
"only focus on this task, we'll address other things later"
and "don't delete any comments"

A to an extent.

I think it was more interesting when they were new because it was all new information we had never had before.

Now it's just a question of how much did it change year over year which is much less interesting.

Did you know you can do `height: stretch` now in CSS? Works for `width` too. /via @patrickbrosset.com

Seems reasonable, but just for clarity—the benefit here is primarily simpler types?

💡 Did you know @raycast.com had a color picker?

Just selects a color and copies to your clipboard. Map to a shortcut like opt+P to pick from anywhere

your point is some right orgs are immoral, invalidating all giving, but people on the right say the same thing about left orgs.

people give to what aligns with their morals, and the right does that a lot more. your opinion of their morals doesn't change how little the left gives.

fair critique, but it's not unique to conservative nonprofits. e.g. the red cross was once good, but now only pretends to help.

the right will also say leftist charities aren't helping people.

this is only a moral judgement. and the right will have an inverse moral judgement.

you're right. your response 100% exemplifies that you're better than those asshole christians

🔥 My friends at DMNO have a new devtool: varlock.

It’s a drop-in replacement for dotenv, and adds a bunch of cool stuff like validation and type safety. It stores the secrets themselves in password managers or encrypted vaults.

The landing page also has a very cool RPG vibe 😄

As church leaders/guests they would be expected to receive support, but chose to set an example instead.

this is a rebuke to the able-bodied who chose to freeload. i.e. "unemployed freeloaders"

maybe you meant facetiously that "all unemployed people are freeloaders" which this is def not saying

Conferences, Clarity, and Smokescreens - Infrequently Noted Alex Russell on browsers, standards, and the process of progress.

Went to two frontend conferences in as many days, and learned a lot; not all of it what the presenters hoped I'd take away:

amazing for writing tests and fixing types. mediocre at everything else, so i just let it do a first draft and then I clean it up.

i didn't last half a day. they could have built this into Arc and people would've loved it. it just feels like a prettier Chrome with an AI extension. big meh.

would love to see Raycast buy them

been on both sides of this. don't really care much anymore.

most a11y issues start with your design system. I think targeting by role is a good defensive measure, but when implemented by an inexperienced dev, it can solidfy bad code with bad tests (e.g. button that should've been a link)
