Odd. Hope they sort it.

Interesting, I’ve not had the same in the iOS app 🤔

Still not sure if you should get a ticket?

Check out the amazing speakers and their talks and you'll see you don't want to miss out.

Fantastic lineup. Just booked my in-person ticket 🙌

The Nightmare Before Deployment - Socket Season’s greetings from Socket, and here’s to a calm end of year: clean dependencies, boring pipelines, no surprises.

So sad to hear this Debbie, we haven’t worked together but you’ve been hugely important to the success of Playwright. I went through the same a couple of years ago so can understand. Recharge, be kind to yourself and keep believing. You’re are an asset to any organisation 🍀♥️

Well it was JS but nothing like node. Think classic ASP without the Visual Basic 😄

The idea was that JS would be the “glue” for Java Applets that ran inside a browser plugin. You could script interaction with and between Applets.

Ah yes. I remember writing JS on both back then. Netscape Application Server and Netscape browser.

I like this mental model in how to think about engineering (including software engineering).

It is a combination of building stuff for production, crafting, commercial production and science.

From the book Software Architecture by Mary Shaw and David Garlan

😂 I remember hearing a story that Eich had someone help out with the implementation of Date and Math. I can’t recall who but I think they copied the Java apis 🙄

You took great care of lots of people at #FrontEndNorth yesterday so now is the time for a bit of self care. Thank you and have a chilled weekend.

Clearly they haven’t read the MIT licence 🙂

I was laid-off and am looking for a new role.

Working were design meets code is my jam. I am skilled at building accessible design system components, working with Web Components APIs, and creating scalable CSS architecture.

I work remotely from my home in Manitoba, Canada. 🇨🇦

Shares appreciated!

Is it actually possible to view the LinkedIn post? I forget what settings I have because LinkedIn settings are too big!

Close to the metal: web design and the browser The craft of building websites evolves when it follows web browsers, instead of fighting against them Websites have evolved over the years, but in the name of evolution, there seems to be mistaken t...

I’m happy to be a part of the inaugural issue of Good Internet Magazine! Here’s my article on how the evolving tech for building a website is heading in the wrong direction.

Apache SSI …I feel so old! 🤣

Haha 😂 so true. I was just listening to @chriscoyier.net talking about it. I don’t think he’s going to let it go until one of the browsers implements it - good luck buddy, we’re with you!

3MB of JS, plus another 400K of assets to display a logo, an image, and 1.4KB of text is definitional web development malpractice, but none of the many (many!) tools involved in sharting out this site kept the experience from falling into the gutter. This isn't "an SPA", it's barely an effing webpage. But it has React, Tailwind, and a hundred horrors embedded in a 3MB JS payload that *must* load, else none of the static text displays.

The thing I want most for tech is for engineers to stop gushing about *what* they used, and to start asking "but is it *good*?"

Hmmm… depends on whether I’m spreading on TS or JS 😄

I loved both your talks at SOTB

Ooh, those look nice ♥️

Lots of folks fell for the "DOM is slow" marketing of certain frameworks, but DOM isn't slow. *Uncontrolled style read-back* is. But what if that wasn't a thing? Looking for feedback on a new proposal to control layout thrashing here:

User centred design - whether that’s customers, engineers, or yourself in 6 months. Always a solid approach ♥️

That will hurt 🤣

And the Oracle JS trademark debacle rolls on. Just give it up Larry - you look like idiots!

Item Flow, Part 1: A new unified concept for layout CSS Grid and Flexbox brought incredible layout tools to the web, but they don’t yet do everything a designer might want.

Masonry in CSS: There’s a new, third option in the debate that combines Flexbox and CSS Grid features into a new system of “Item Flow” properties. The WebKit blog has all the gory details.
