Kind of feel sorry for the businesses in the AWS blast radius.
“CSS doesn’t suck - Andy Bell”
“For some reason, amazing features of CSS like this are often seen as a negative in the JavaScript community”
So I just got these 😊
Over the past 2-3 years, CSS has become the least bad part of the web, occasionally being actually quite pleasant. This makes it a bit painful for me to watch JS people try to ‘fix’ the least broken part of the web by breaking it just enough for it to be familiar to them.

“AGPL Policy – opensource.google.com”
In case people were wondering if the differences between the GPL and the AGPL are meaningful or not.
“Using the iPad Pro as my main computer - Hicks Journal”
A counterpoint to my semi regular griping about the iPad.

“My Wish List for Progressive Web Apps in 2019 – Maximiliano Firtman – Medium”
We’re reaching a point in the evolution of PWAs where the needs of each platform are starting to diverge. The needs of desktop WIMP platforms in terms of usability and UI are pretty different from that of a tablet, which in turn is different from that of a phone (something that Apple, at least, hasn’t fully accepted yet)
