Apparently they're going to make a TV show about the founding of Twitter. People are angling for @JaredLeto to play me, but I hope @jvn gets the role.

Anyone else's brain skip straight over any button with the label "Get Started"?

I keep running into buttons like this where they are the last thing that catches my focus on the page.

I think "Get Started" is the new "Click Here".

Me: *Trying to create a food blog that doesn’t participate in diet culture.*

Google: Enable calorie counts on your recipe cards or risk not appearing in search results!

Please Work With URLS https://anderspitman.net/16/please-work-with-urls/ <--- Great article.

I just realized that "memo" is an abbreviation of "memorandum" 🤦‍♀️

#StampOfApproval Thanks, Aaron! We appreciate you! - Samantha

People keep talking about how they're doing things late in their life because they're in their forties. Stop it, you're freaking me out. Also, I don't know about you, but I'm planning on having another good 60 years or so.

Everyone: Can I get a copy of these slides?
Also everyone: Never downloads or looks at the slides ever.

On the plus side, apparently Web 3.0 is no longer the Semantic Web.

Now that we all subscribe to a thousand newsletters, is there an app or service that will push my newsletters into Pocket or some sort of aggregator that's not also the place I interact with important correspondence?

…and you have just opened up a whole new pit of horror for me. Thanks. 😱

Okay, I just got off the phone with a tech recruiter and I have some pretty deep frustrations with how this went on many axes. Tech recruiters, please read this thread - especially if you're in a "diversity & inclusion" team.

Writing 100 lines of code in an hour isn't a useful skill to test for. The best solutions often involve writing only a small amount of code to clue existing, good code together in a useful way. Understanding how stuff works and being able to tie things together is way more useful

I'm at the point of my life where I hoard security keys to give away to anyone I know/meet who needs to lock down their online accounts, and plushies + storybooks as gifts for friends who have children. No regrets.

Also h/t @aaronpk because I'm working through OAuth 2.0 simplified right now and it's refreshingly well-organized as a tour :)

The #IndieWeb wiki-docs are excellent.

Feels like how I wish a lot of api-docs read.

I'd love for a feature that allowed close friends to moderate your feed before it gets to you

It's much less upsetting to see unwarranted rudeness directed at someone else. A close friend would know how to filter the worst of it on your behalf without as strong an emotional hit
