So, TikTok right? They're finally releasing an API. This API includes the "Login Kit for Web", which include this unbelievable code example:

If you're reading this and you're a React expert who doesn't know how to write CSS without JS anymore, friendly advice: set away some quality time to catch up with CSS/HTML. Knowing fundamentals is, well, fundamental.

And yes, it says "example button below in React" - but do you know what React outputs? It's HTML. It's always been HTML. If you don't know HTML you are bad at React, exactly like whoever wrote these docs.

Apparently our factory hasn’t had power for a couple of days because of rolling blackouts due, in part, to cryptocurrency mining.

I'm sorry, I know someone worked very hard on this. I thought that after two years my feelings would fade, but the Slack logo is four ducks all sniffing each other's butts and I'm tired of pretending it's not.

I just heard Laurie Santos on Unladylike talking about "time confetti." She said we actually have more spare time than we did 10 years ago, but that it comes in tiny, seemingly useless chunks - 5 minutes before a Zoom, etc. She suggested making a list... (1/2)

All code is technical debt

Just occurred to me that this is me, most days, either taking meetings on Zoom or streaming video games. I'm basically living inside my show, The Guild. LOL.
