When my tiny company was releasing a new UI which was essentially "our primary colour is being replaced, we now have a neutral UI with higher contrast, some buttons and links look slightly different", with nothing moved around or any removal or addition of functional my colleagues spent weeks planning this.
We sent multiple communications to our internal and external stakeholders and had a multi-tiered release plan across all our platforms, branding etc.
Anyway, X.com still redirects to Twitter.com
It took an unusually long time to switch the App Logos to that boring X
Non-Google Search Engines still have the Twitter favicon in multiple search results.
They still use the "Chirp" font for body text (this was Twitter's new Font released in 2021)
All their CSS and JavaScript files are still named with "chirp"
There image server is still "twimg"
@Jbasoo@DavidDarnes Just reading an old article about their disastrous rebrand, on Variety.com, that still uses the Twitter logo as their "Share to X" icon.
@ljharb@Fishrock It only matters to me in that I would like to know "why". Simply an explanation of how it works and why that happens. A curiosity. The reason I dug so deep into this was due to my frustration of not being able to find any mention of "how" and "why" in TC39 specs or proposals. I am in search of the truth :D
I am doing an introductory course to #Java so I can show off and say I learned it over the weekend and don’t need help doing some basic Java next week as I define the future of our product.
Java is quite nice? Feel like it’s one of those language other devs have shat on as long as I’ve been aware of programming, and once again, it turns out it’s for no reason?
Ngl 2/3 of them are excellent and I had already made one my permanent but now they’ve gonna and given me a Northface Fall Line so… I think I’ll switch to that. My Herschel I’ve had since I was a Junior was for fashion, but sucked re: utility. I have so many pockets now
Before I was a developer (10 years ago), I remember developers had streamlined new computer setup.
I know it would've been involving homebrew and things like that, but I don't think that was the whole tool.
I don't think it was Vagrant, as that's a virtual machine.
Were they just using a shell script that did all the things, and cask'ed everything they could? I feel like there was a specific -tool- but it escapes me.
Me: I'll just add 2fa to everything and rotate some passwors
Me: Well I may aswell audit 860 1Password Entries
Me: And I should consolidate all my email accounts into one new one
Me: It'd be cool to get my personal scratchy code off of GitHub too
2 days later I have a VPS running Forgejo, a Fastmail account and only 520 1Password entries left to go.
My mum would spend hours ironing clothes when I was a kid. I dont think I’ve ever seen an ironing board at any of my friends houses. A whole generation just said “fuck ironing” and we did. Good work everyone.
