*"no one ever got fired for choosing React"* is, AFAICT, not true today, and never has been. I've witnessed entire teams get flushed and VPs get unceremoniously booted on the other side of grand React redesigns tanking revenue and conversions. None of those folks talk publicly about how it went down because doing so would simultaneously devalue the thing they've invested in and hurt their own employability within that world. And so we bumble on, omerta in tact.

Hi. Can I have a word? When you use a #Hashtag could you capitalise each word please? That way, people using screen readers will hear each individual word, which means they'll get more useful context as a result. When you don't capitalise hashtags the words string together and make no sense. For example #ThisIsHow would read as "This Is How" while #thisishow would sound something like "thissy show". A small change for you but a game changer for many people. Be nice; get good karma. Thanks.

If you want to become rich and powerful you’re part of the problem. The problem isn’t that some other people are rich and powerful and you’re not. The problem is we have a system where some people are rich and powerful while others are denied even basic human dignity.

I always struggle when groups fundraise with urgency. Like Wikipedia, we need your money now!!!! And all I can think is, Jimmy I recognise you’re a not for profit but you do this every year, with the same messages about how you simply cannot continue your work if you don’t get money. And I get distracted because all I think of is the dril budgeting tweet. If I could see the numbers in the same line as your urgency message, I’d understand more and are thus more likely to donate. “We have X money left which our accountants say we will no longer be able to pay our stuff after the following date” Shouting “urgent!” Every time I open the page for the last two decades, with no numbers in the sentence, stops being urgent and is just something I gloss over against my better judgement

TLDR; “Yes, if you let Nazis get on stage, there will be less Nazis. We’ll simply out talk them. That definitely works every time! Anyway, here’s a pile of money someone unspecified gave me.” Fuck Substack and fuck every “moderate” bagging for “civil discourse” with genocidal maniacs. https://www.theverge.com/2023/12/21/24011232/substack-nazi-moderation-demonetization-hamish-mckenzie

YOUR 2023 CALENDAR WRAPPED You spent 31 DAYS in each of the months of August, March, July, January, October, and May. That’s a six way tie. Guess you’re the type who can’t be satisfied by just one month! 😎 Your longest day was NOVEMBER 5, a whopping 25 hours. Falling back like a champ! 🍂 This year was the 10 YEAR ANNIVERSARY OF 2013. Here’s to another 10 more! 🥳 You’ve had 51 MONDAYS so far this year. Yikes! We won’t tell Garfield if you won’t. 🐈

 Note

Something cool newer #git versions are doing - you'll now see Reapply instead of Revert Revert ... in commit messages, if you're reverting a revert.

In an older version of Git (i.e. with 2.34.x) you would see:

Revert "Revert "Commit title here""
Revert "Commit title here"
Commit title here

However, in newer versions (i.e. with 2.43.x) you now see:

Reapply "Commit title here"
Revert "Commit title here"
Commit title here

Which makes it a little bit cleaner in your Git log
