So earlier today I posted that I wake up to more spam I had to deal with. I use the FediBlock tag, which probably helps shouldn’t have but oh well. Anyway, I get replies from people blasting me for spamming the hashtag. Now I’ve had a busy day so I couldn’t get to the replies and reply back so it gets better. They report me to my instance, to which I’m a co-admin of, to which I’ll get the report.
So did they do their research and see who I am and actually just try to (1/3)
The quiet, pervasive devaluation of frontend - Josh Collinsworth
Here is a long article that's well worth your time, on the perception of the craft of front end development. Lots of quote-worthy thoughts in there.
(…) If our skills are valuable as duct tape over the cracks of organizational shortcomings, why aren’t they valuable during the planning and decision-making that led to those defects, when we could potentially prevent them?
(…)
Frontend tools market themselves as though frontend is something no one wants to do, and nobody should care about any more than they have to.
(…)
It seems like nobody thinks of frontend as a critical part of the product anymore; they only think of it as the nice box the product arrives in.
Imagine a world in which there were no color, no variety, in which all the people thought and acted the same -- copying the words, actions, lifestyle, beliefs and dress of media and celebrity "Influencers."
That world would be not only dull, but constricting, coercive, conforming and repressive.
Zitat aus dem (sehr inspirierenden) Buch "We are the Weather: Saving the Planet Begins at Breakfast" von Jonathan Safran Foer. (Gibt's auch auf Deutsch: "Wir sind das Klima! Wie wir unseren Planeten schon beim Frühstück retten können"

“For me, I am driven by two main philosophies: know more today about the world than I knew yesterday and lessen the suffering of others. You'd be surprised how far that gets you.”
“Space is big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist's, but that's just peanuts to space.”
Imagine if there were no wild areas where one could escape, where one can marvel at and contemplate a view that was not built by corporations or governments. Nature's power lies in her beauty and timelessness.
Some of the most miraculous and magical elements of our life we easily overlook because they seem so ordinary: sunlight warming our skin on a spring day, flowers bursting up as if out of nowhere, air with just the right amount nitrogen, oxygen, and carbon dioxide to sustain the abundant life on earth.
"In my opinion, they are the finest men I have ever beheld [...] To see a white man bathing alongside a Tahitian, was like comparing a plant bleached by the gardener’s art to the same growing in the open fields."
He was “much disappointed in the personal appearance of the women; they are far inferior in every respect to the men.”
However "either they are not as handsome as they were said to be, or my ideas are fastidious".
What is the optimum amount of humans on this planet?
Have we (as the intelligent ones) worked out a way to achieve an equilibrium of how many humans to how many other species there are, with a view to us all surviving?
Doesn't the effect we have on other species affect how many humans there are?
In the U.S., we are taught from a young age that efficiency is supreme: our job is to work quickly, accurately, productively -- kind of like a machine.
But efficiency lacks in creativity, thought, and soul. It is a straight freeway bypassing scenery for time. The winding roads, though not quick, invite us to BE in in both moment and place.
Struggling to find motivation to have both a pixelfed and Mastodon user. Feel like I can follow anyone either way with one account :cat_sip: #random#thoughts#fediverse

Social media gives the mistaken impression that we "know" a lot of people, but to truly know someone -- their depth, richness, personality, and character -- requires spending actual time with them in a time and space of reality.
When we do, we may find that we like some people more than we thought we would.
