Welp, I’m now considering the idea of having entered a midlife crisis, to certain degrees. Don’t worry, no extravagant purchases forthcoming.

I just did a massive spring cleaning of one of my servers, trying to clean up what has become quite the mess of clutter. For every website on the server, I either: Documented what it is, who is using …

@www.jvt.me@www.jvt.me I adore that you've done this, I've seen it before and really loved it. Nothing passive about disclosure on a topic where there is a lot of social pressure not to disclose.

Stop defining "developer experience" as "the inner loop while I'm writing code after spending an hour installing node_modules". Setup time is "developer experience". Upgrade toil is "developer experience". Memoise-everything-after-weeks-debugging-stray-rerender toil is "developer experience". Belated, frantic code splitting side quests are "developer experience".

I don't know if I ever will stand up and talk about this practice in public, because it's a somewhat terrifying idea to imagine all the potential backlash or judgment idk, but if I did and everyone agreed, there is a GREAT talk I've imagined: "The Salary Ring." I'd describe these couple of years in my life when several of us joined together to support each other learning to negotiate, doing group market research, workshopping what we'd say in toxic situations together.

Thinking more about why and where I'm putting my thoughts and what I should be spending my online time on.

My no-nuance take on the recent discourse: I am not less than the other people in the IndieWeb community for not having a fancy, automated, cool setup on my personal website. Nobody has ever made me feel that way. It doesn't matter if all you have is a simple page with your name and email. If there is one place where you can do whatever you want and how you want is your personal website. I'm lucky to have found a community that supports this.

I've written about it (https://www.smashingmagazine.com/2020/08/autonomy-online-indieweb/) and I don't even implement the stuff I mentioned! I promise you, nobody is judging.

Every time lice is reported at the kids daycare, being bald feels like an incredible asset. Watching moms rush in the to pick up their as quickly as possible, hoping not to bring any lice with them. While I walk around casually, talking to staff, playing with kids, just chillin. This is my moment.

In today's adventures of finding out weird things you can do with HTML… You should not put a `<style>` element anywhere other than the `<head>` So `<body><style> ...CSS...</style></body>` is an error. (It works, because browsers are tolerant.) But you *can* put a `<link rel="stylesheet">` element in a body. Obviously, that needs an *external* data source for the CSS. So you can cheat by Base64 encoding it! `<body><link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="data:text/css;base64,LyoqCi…">`

Lukewarm take: using tabs instead of spaces isn't hard at all if you have a well-behaving editor. In my experience of a week now, it makes the resizing of code even a bit easier (you can make its width two spaces in more narrow views and expand it to four in larger ones). It sucks that it's hard to do this with Python. TBH it seems like it was a mistake for PEP8 to recommend (and in a way, enforce) the use of spaces.

One of the things I like about #BSky is that handles can be plain URls. So there I am @ edent.tel I appreciate that isn't the model here, for historic reasons. And not everyone can afford a domain name. But it is a powerful concept.

How should we defend those people who have done great work that has inspired us, when they stand accused?
