Hello All,
Please excuse the link dump, but this is what I had to do as I procrastinated on for so many weeks. I’ll try to do it regularly now to keep the content in control. With this, let’s start, and I hope you will find something useful down here 🤞
“Your browser may not be compatible with all the features on this site.”
We should all be very concerned if some websites are indeed implying that anything other than a Chromium-based browser is now obsolete. The prospect of an Internet that is only accessible with Chromium-based browsers should horrify everyone. The web was specifically designed to allow a wide variety of browsers and other applications to flourish. The last thing we should want is Google controlling how we access the Internet, and this has been widely discussed all over the Internet for years.
This is something I feel is incredibly important and something we should all be concerned about.
Unless you’re in the mafia, your company isn’t your family
The title sums it up really well, and while giving it all you’ve got to your company is a good thing, getting emotionally attached to it is usually not such a good thing and is something we should all avoid.

This was something new and interesting, I learned.
What it’s like working with an editor
A pretty good read on working with editors (as in writer-editor, not code editor) and something I feel aligns with good code reviewers
Logical properties are great for accessibility but as of now the support isn’t there just yet, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t be using them, but you should be using them with proper fallback using @supports so that once they become available your users get a nicer and more accessible experience. Also, if you aren’t aware of what logical properties are, then read Let’s get logical
The internet has two faces, nasty one filled with grifters, exploiters, scammers and the other is the useful one which intends to help the users, puts out good stuff. So try to stick to the latter part of internet and not indulge with grifters and the ilk.
That’s a great advice, one that I don’t myself follow but should, but if you are working on the internet this is one of the best things you can do to grow yourself and help others grow.
This one is a hot take! But I agree with plenty of these and feel like. But if you are a fan of sprints, then read this at your own risk 😬
