Are you a woman? Do you have some shit to say? I've got no guest blog for this week, on 8th March (international women's day). Pitch me... https://www.girlonthenet.com/guest-blogs/ Guest blogs especially welcome from trans women, gay women, women over 50, disabled women, women who have kinks that I don't normally talk about on the blog, and basically any women who have different perspectives/experience to me. All women welcome, though. WOMEN. NEVER KNOW YOUR LIMITS.

I’m James Spencer, Royal Incoherence, sorry, Royal Correspondent for the BBC. We’re outside Buckingham Palace today as a small but vocal faction gather outside the gates amongst growing pressure on The Royal Family to answer the question on everyone’s lips: cream, or jam first on a scone? For time immemorial, there has been not the North South Divide you are used to, but a East West divide, a bitter battle between Devon and Cornwall on which goes first: a dollop of clotted cream, or a hearty helping of jam? Many look to The Royal Family (Rest in peace Diana, gone but never forgotten, mother of William [darling Husband of Angelic Kate] and Harry [traitorous bastard who married that black American]) to end this bitter feud that looks set to erupt into Civil War. We’re told an official communique should present itself at any moment, as the official Royal Family Twitter (known now as X) account teased a reveal earlier this morning. Back to you in the Studio.
Hiding behind humour and sarcasm to run away from everything is wayyyy too easy for emotional masochists.

JFC, people in tech are really out there saying that language models will be better at therapy, financial advice, and career advice than trained people. WTF is wrong with you people? Do you really have no clue about what other people’s jobs actually involve? Language models can’t even do maths how are they supposed to get good at financial advice? And therapy? Just… 😑 What’s wrong with people in tech?
Just realised I'm about to have my first aut-girl summer.
My friend just told me of a genius idea: her friend & partner have a secret signal for when they have guests. If one of them makes themselves a hot drink in a specific mug, that means ‘I grow weary of company, please help guests out of the door.’

My favourite genre of post is when I get to hear about all the cool stuff you’ve achieved. Tried crochet for the first time? Made a healthy choice? A new personal best at best at bouldering? More of this please.
I think maybe my best advice is: definitely get involved in open source, just make sure either nobody uses your software or you quit ASAP 😆
As I scroll through the "explore" tab I've begun blocking anyone I see who posts "hilarious" art from the plagiarism machine. Wish I could one-click-block anyone who boosted or liked it as well.

If public health agencies can't even advise people to stay home the full time when they are sick, they have given up on trying to prevent disease.

My best friend is named Twilight Sparkle, one of my former roommates is serving life in prison, I live in a city that has two valid names for use in addresses, I've had an interest in philosophy since I meditated too much while playing VR rhythm games, I'm one of the top thousand patreon creators globally, I design my APIs using protocol buffers, and I write so much on my blog that it's a logistical problem."
some people say their wedding is the happiest day of their life, or the birth of their child mine will be the day my boy dog gets neutered 😭

If you missed my talk on project websites at Fosdem, you can check out the recording here. I was really excited to do this talk, because homepages are the most concrete and most publicly visible representation of a project’s positioning. Writing a decent homepage is impossible if your positionin

It was March 2022 when I sold CSS-Tricks to DigitalOcean. So it’s been just about 2 years now. This was me and my wife’s thinking: The negotiated sale price was fair. They are a big com…
nothing ruins my motivation to send fixes to your open source project more than to ask me to sign a CLA for it. sorry guys I'm just not that interested in reviewing a legal contract just to improve your software for free
