This is so inspiring: GOV.UK really sweating the details here on performance, removing 32KB of jQuery for a ~5-10% improvement on various metrics for low-powered devices twitter.com/therealnooshu/…Post details
🧵As I mentioned last week GOV.UK removed jQuery as a dependency for all frontend apps, meaning 32 KB of minified & compressed JS was removed. So let's see what difference this has made for users by examining our RUM data. Thread will mainly focus on JS CPU time.Matt Hobbs v2.0 💉💉💉💉 (@TheRealNooshu)Thu, 31 Mar 2022 11:05 +0000

GDS is leading the digital transformation of the UK government.

I interpret that as a threat, but others assure me that it is in fact a Promise.

Andrew Doyle is someone who is perpetually cynical about “queer culture”. He sees it as “wokery”, a debasement of rational thought . Trans issues intersect this. He parodies a white privileged woman on twitter to make these points. But its not really a parody. It’s his fantasy twitter.com/gbnews/status/…Post details

AGPLv3 wasn't designed to guarantee that anyone will "contribute back." It was designed to guarantee that the permissions required for Software Freedom will be given to those who access software over a network. It's about "paying forward" to users not "paying back" to authors.

If you think teaching children "sometimes kids have two dads, because some boys love other boys instead of girls, and that's okay" is in any way 'sexual' or 'groomimg', YOU are the danger to children.

Having syntax memorized doesn’t prove you’re smarter than anyone. It’s a cool trick that implies your memory works well for a type of recollection. That’s not a knock to someone in either category. But please don’t use it as justification of brilliance or even experience.Laurie (@laurieontech)Wed, 30 Mar 2022 12:51 +0000
I saw the Creative Director at an old job of mine put an unplugged keyboard in front of a designer during an interview and asked him to show him Adobe shortcuts. The candidate had well over a decade of experience and was a Senior Designer. It was embarrassing to watch.Post details
I had an interviewer ask me to type some commands from memory recently. I replied that on the job one is not going to rely on pure memory and If I can look it up fast enough in front of them that should be sufficient. They relented and we continued.
