Reiterating a thought I had the other day: most of us know devs who creep us out to the point where we’d feel unsafe alone in a room with them. But we also routinely trust those same devs to maintain OSS dependencies we rely on.
Which seems… sub-optimal at best.
“Don’t Fight the Cascade, Control It! - CSS-Tricks - CSS-Tricks”
“George Pérez opens up about his fans, his legendary career, and his terminal illness - GamesRadar+”
Something to make you tear up early in the morning.
“You Are Not Your User - Even When You Make Employees Dash — Users Know”
Debating and analysing the tech behind web3 is like arguing about what OS Enron used for their desktops or what printer was used to print the contracts for sub-prime loans in 2006.
At best you’re missing the point. At worst your distracting others from the point.
A common thing coders do when they want to delve into serious topics is to make shit up based on faulty premises. Like a jenga tower built on mud. Reason everything from first principles and start off by completely misunderstanding those first principles. It’s tiring to read.
Here’s an example of how CaptureOne gets much better black and white photos out of Fuji raws. The two ravens against a blank sky show well how Adobe conversions are a bit muddy in high contrast areas.
“Working Backwards: Why the Best Product Teams Use This Method”
“Memory leaks: the forgotten side of web performance - Read the Tea Leaves”

Geeks finally start to notice Google’s quality slide.
“Keeping up-to-date with web development”
I’m guessing a lot of people are doing their web dev research in very unstructured ways.
“Superheroes create cultural acceptance for popular oligarchy (Interconnected)”
The only thing that’s really missing from this is a stronger distinction between movie superheroes (almost universally fascist) and comics superheroes (less so)
“Lefsetz Letter » Blog Archive » Don’t Look Up”
“Don’t judge the movie as a movie. Judge it as a cultural exposé”
Feel like I have to see it now.
