I don't think I've ever had my resume on the web before, but it's so much easier to maintain this way. Hire me! Please! clough.cool/cv

What software do you all use, and like, and feel good about using and liking? Looking for a new job and still want to do something that contributes to the world in some way

Welp, the layoff reaper pointed its bony finger at me and I am officially looking for work again! If anyone knows of any software engineering, frontend engineering, or ideally design system engineering roles, let me know!

Who's keeping the word "teetotaler" around and why do journalists love it so much?

It’s crazy that Australia is just like *the* place on earth to find animals that bounce and have pouches.

My feed right now is like 40% Swan Boy

Good god, now that I'm migrating from Stencil to Lit I can finally write components that extend other component classes. What a small wish, fulfilled.

Huh, weird

In a few years everyone will recognize the work of AI and it will hold same stature that clip art came to hold

Parker Posey absolutely killing this character in White Lotus

What's up with using built-in elements as part of web component implementation? Like if I want to create a custom element that requires <option> elements as children, is that valid?
