It's like the Henry Hoover of cars

Disappointed that the official monster raving loony party are running three candidates and forcing their base to choose

Personally I hope they never dismantle the UFC cage

Open source maintainers at profitable companies: stop asking permission to fix what your employer already depends on. No paperwork. No programme. No manager’s blessing. Just maintain it on the clock.

Good riddance

The personal brand? Being a complete dumbass

She'd be gutted that she wasted 12 million quid paying off one of his accusers and he got arrested anyway

I think Andrew should prove his innocence by giving another interview to Newsnight or similar

Did Chelsea forget that Josh and Sarr are on the books or are the SDs just addicted to transfers?

It doesn't seem right that Benfica could play 3 CL games in a row against Real Madrid (has such a thing ever occurred before?)

It's effective but absolutely dire to watch

Walked into the pub 5 minutes in and we immediately concede

I never expected anything from a lunchtime kick off away to Newcastle but did think we'd be slightly less shit

So I joined a gym recently which is great, but turns out you can just go to decathlon everyday for free and use the equipment there and they will not stop you

My initial instinct is that we need to be able to easily beat up the robot

We've had increasingly right-wing governments for 15 years here, and it seems that the Dutch voters think they will solve their problems by voting right even harder.

show this to anyone else you know who also assumed DHH was just a normal conservative dude rather than a raging white supremacist lunatic

People love to say Rails has a DHH problem, which is true, but React has a Gizmo Rauch problem

Good thing Maresca brought on those defensive substitutions to shore things up at the back

Riding my bike for the first time in 6 weeks and I must say, it's just like riding a bike.

Online used to exist only in a box in a room in your house, we called it a desktop computer and it was the only way to access it. Now the internet is in our pockets all the time and madness has ensued.

This needs a John Wilson voiceover

My company are using it already for the interview process

To be fair Head of Nasa is a terrible name for a metro line and I would avoid riding it too

Given what we know about the typical media consumed by a 68 year old white man in Britain, they might be better off keeping to themselves?

Big to start work and find Jest 30 had been released last week. While I wouldn't pick it for a new project, the upgrade was quick and painless given there has been years since the last release

The agent to his colleagues after reading Ken's newsletter one time: "are we the baddies?"

Oh, and I quit my job at the consultancy and am available for freelance work from 1st July. I'm basically a TypeScript DevOps person whose open to Amsterdam-area hybrid or fully remote work.

Playing with building react native apps is great but doing a clean build basically maxes out all 16 cpu cores and I'm probably two/three months away from justifiably buying myself a new laptop that should crush this work

The best thing about YOLO-editing your k8s cluster through k9s/vim is when your cat just jumps and walks all over your keyboard and now you really can't exit vim

The toilets at my work are gender neutral and it turns out that the general population are in fact completely capable of being fucking normal about it, apart from the rabid followers of a children's author whose books they never grew out of.

we're switching to quarterly posts for @e18e.dev showcases/updates, so here's the first one! we'll still be posting about other things in between, too 🙏

Regardless of any arguments for or against the TypeScript Go announcement (which I am in favour of by the way), I'm impressed at the simultaneous outreach across podcasts, reddit, discord, blogposts etc

Big dog @wesbos.com nailing it on the latest potluck @syntax.fm about mixing templating languages being a complete drag, which is why I think React has so much gravity despite its many valid criticisms

So I wrote about when all my pipelines at work started failing after the weekend and what a really good and cool time I had as a result leefreeman.dev/blog/pitfall...

So now that the CRA repo is seeing a tiny bit of attention again, I think the only reasonable step left is to make a final release upgrading it to be a tiny wrapper over create-vite
