I’m doing some research trying to find the reasons why cycling in the Netherlands is so sensational and in most other countries so average. I’m perplexed. All I can find is this pink pic.

Giving a conference talk in 5 acts:

1. I really want to give a talk. 👍
2. Why the fuck did I say yes to this? 😰
3. Oh God, this is going to be awful. 😭
4. Adrenaline and sweat. 😱
5. That was cool, people seemed to not hate it. 😎

Repeat and learn nothing.

IndieWebKit is 78% complete! I've gotten majority of features done for IndieAuth, Micropub and Microsub. some more work for parsing responses in Microsub, uploading files in Micropub, and fix an Authentication Services issue

I grew up cycling everywhere, and my observation is that America absolutely doesn’t understand bicycles even a little bit at all.

Who will bank the unfacebooked?

One day on the iOS 13 beta, and it has already caught these apps trying to use Bluetooth in the background (for non-audio use; audio doesn’t count here).

Waze is the only one I’ve even launched. The rest were from background refresh, possibly using location-tracking analytics?

Shocked and humbled that it has taken this long for us to realize that all of our stickers should be scratch-and-sniff donut-scented.

Question for dev folks out here: Are there any company or developer community newsletters that you don't hate? 💌

Just found a badly needed USB charging cable in my hoarder’s box of cables, so I guess what I’m saying is, if you’re lucky enough to have a box of cables in your life, hold on to it and never let it go.

Q: What is a blog?

A: A blog is a copy of your corporate newsletter that you put on the Web.

Q: What is a blog good for?

A: A blog is good for SEO.

What I love about the web: when there’s a new annoying hype, like microfrontends, you can simply ignore it for two weeks until it’s no longer hip.

People like @grantlovescars make fun of me for still using @swarmapp — then they ask the name of a restaurant we ate at 6 years ago and I know. Why? Because I have a log of the last decade of good places I’ve been.

Admiring the care and attention that @rem has put into the technology and the documentation for https://webmention.app/

So useful!
