being "the css/frontend guy" at work feels like bad rep

most people born after 1990 have to rent life and if they are not able to pay for it, too bad for them.

Every time I read "The Boy Who Could Change the World" at night, I end up with nightmares. No idea why.

Imagine being rich enough to do anything you want and choosing to take food and medicine from starving children to give yourself even more money.

I just made a thing: A collection of links for web developers to navigate the web platform more easily. 🟢 Places to follow progress and keep track. 🟣 Places to make your voice heard and influence the platform with your use cases.

Noticing how products from big companies are getting worse, and people are just accepting it? Seems like cutting corners isn’t working out so well.

AI isn’t 1,000 PhD students knocking on your door. It’s more like 1 patchy bachelor’s student who scraped their way through using other people’s work, inefficient, unoriginal, and bad for the environment.

Tapes, CDs, and videos didn’t shove ads in your face. Now, it’s ads everywhere — unless you pay to make it stop. Feels easier to just unplug sometimes.

It's not so bad when things fall apart. It's a chance to shake things up and experiment. Life would be too boring otherwise.

We used to build open web and open protocols, we still use them today. Then came the wall garden networks and highjacked our attention and data, with free junk. I believe open platforms and protocols are the future. They have to be.

Every minute I spend on IG, I can feel my IQ packing its bags.

I wish I could have said what I want to say without worrying about it not being perfect. So that's exactly what I'm going to do and that's perfect. 😁

Using starter packs is backfiring. My follower/following ratio is skewed, attracting follow-back seekers and bots. At this point, I don’t think using starter packs is a good move. I need a quick way to balance these numbers. 😮‍💨

IRL there are more than one right answer to a question. What matters most is giving your answer.

Stop Forcing A.I. into Fucking EVERYTHING!

Upgraded to iPadOS 18.2. Apple Intelligence? Just an LLM wrapper that falls back to ChatGPT—even for basic demands. The hardware requirement seems to be just for flashy animations.

Sometimes moving forward means doing things you don’t enjoy, hoping it leads somewhere better.

1 year of half-arseing SEO here's how I did it:

Life tip: Feeling overwhelmed? Instead of adding more to your plate, try this, step back and drop tasks that don’t align with your goals or aren’t rewarding enough. What could you let go of today?

The best use of Instagram is to open it and close it as fast as possible.

IF YOU WERE PART OF TECH TWITTER IN ANY WAY, can you comment here so we can find everyone we knew in the community. I feel like I am going crazy trying to search for accounts and it is exhausting. Can we get a thread going on of everyone? Let's bring the community back together over here.

Wow, connecting with people here feels so much easier than on... well, other platforms. 👀
