@zachleat more code, more $$$

@zachleat Unfortunately, managers sometimes tend to give you the salary increase for the overengineered 200kb thing, not for the smol 4kb one 🙈.

@zachleat this is also me at 3:30p every day

@zachleat have you tried tailwind?

@zachleat Is this a Tailwind subtoot?

@zachleat We’ll start by creating a system of CSS Custom Properties that allow us to write machine code, and eventually object code and assembly. This foundation weights in at…

@zachleat
Say what :neocat_surprised_pika_256:

@zachleat thanks for writing this Zach!

On a project a while ago we ran into a lot of headaches trying to compare Lighthouse scores over time to track performance changes.

Even the difference between running mobile lighthouse tests on a new M1 Macbook and an older Intel-powered Macbook was huge. We ended up having to change our strategy and rely more on tools like webpagetest.org.

I wish there was more info out there about how device variability impacts these scores!

@zachleat Shout out for spelling-out `fediverse` instead of some cryptic abbreviation

@zachleat looking forward to when I can get it working! I've copied/adapted tags from pages that it worked for (and updated my allowed domains), but no luck. It's not clear from the article whether it's your home server or the server that you view the post on that needs to be on the latest version - but that's my best guess.

@zachleat every one of those besides web components (and i guess esm) can go out of fashion and never be thought about again without breaking the web.

Web components are calcified how they are forever since they are built in to the platform you can only do additive changes which is why complexity is an issue with them 🤷‍♀️

@zachleat think of their poor compilers 😏

@zachleat is that really independent of your well-being, or is that *in service* of your well-being 🧐🧐

@zachleat Apparently it's so new it makes the DevTools crash 😳 (In Arc, which is Chromium based)

@zachleat you might wanna warn people it's using corporate ipsum! I done got fooled

@zachleat I've always hated this.

Also it feels like such an allegory of Twitter and Facebook and even The New York Times. It even applies to the advertising model being all fun and games... until it's not.

@zachleat rip heroku

My small contribution

@zachleat and today people are celebrating the (earlier, 2010) birth of friendica, a fediverse platform that also supports adding rss feeds as contacts

(I don't use that feature, rss2email is a better fit for my own lifeflow, but it's nice that the option exists)

@zachleat just saw this and thought of you.

@zachleat This broke my fucking brain. All that to build something that looks like the first web page ever made. 🤦🏻‍♂️

@zachleat I’m astonished by the lack of people answering how messed up it is to use React for one freaking simple & obviously static website.

@zachleat

@zachleat this is why I use android

@zachleat this might actually mean more native apps. less chromium in the background.

or more electron

@zachleat

So... Not much of the web at all then.

Don't get me wrong: Apple are assholes.

I find it sad that the whole issue revolves around one of the absolute worst things imaginable: web apps. I keep asking lamenting this one simple question and never get the answer:

@zachleat That's too bad!
I hope it doesn't impact your employment 💚
