“No, Okta, senior management, not an errant employee, caused you to get hacked | Ars Technica”
Still working on the pitch page for the course and still trying to figure out how best to convey what it’s about.
“Uncluttered Test-Driven Web Dev With Import Maps (Upcoming Course)”
This is the latest pass. Any feedback is appreciated.
“Web browsers kind of suck | Go Make Things”
This. If I didn’t have bills to pay I’d start brushing off all of my browser UI ideas and have a go at prototyping them, just for fun.
“When not to use a subdomain – Chris Coyier”
Accurate.
“Naming things needn’t be hard - Classnames”
Bookmarking for future reference.
This week’s links and notes are so late they’re almost next week’s

Before, when I stumbled on a web dev blog post that spent hundreds of words saying nothing: “Wow, somebody’s huffed a little bit too much LinkedIn.”

Moore’s Law only seems special because it’s the era we’ve been living through.
Dave Karpf is always excellent.
People think lights and crews are cheating? Because there’s VFX in places, editing, color-timing? Of course there is? This is a commercial video. It’s not a benchmark of what you, a total novice, can shoot in your backyard.
“The Online Photographer: AI Imaging is a Pox, a Fraud and a Thief”
“What The Goddamn Hell Is Going On In The Tech Industry? — Ludicity”
This understates the problem because these dysfunctions aren’t limited to the tech industry. It might look different in a non-tech company, but I can guarantee you most of them suffer from similiar messes
