New Pearl Jam rips. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🐴. Big energy. Play loud. Cover is obvious bid to play at The Sphere. Could use a few more catchy bits.

First we've got @sophie talking about something we know all too well at the BBC: technical migrations.

As we all know, migrations are a complicated business.

Sharing this since someone shared it with me - lock down your credit if you aren't actively applying for any loans! I've now gotten two letters with denials for auto loans which I didn't apply for! someone out there is trying real hard to steal my identity but my locked credit status saved me!

What’s worrying is that all of it sounds like a joke, but it’s all real 🫠

I recently listened to a long conversation between teaching professors across several institutions. One person said something I can't stop remembering: "People need to realize who their real enemies are."

This piece is incredible and incredibly brave.

"the new technology makes it possible; first the discovery of the hold-out, the lone exception, and then the magnification of the consequent annihilation."

I've been saying carrot wrong my whole life and I don't know how to process this newly realized information.

Quick update on my search for data about opening links in new tabs or windows.

• Everyone has an opinion
• No one has shared any data
• I reached out to a web analytics expert who has been in the field over 20 years who replied, ”I have no idea and haven’t seen any data on your question.”
• The expert pointed me to a Slack community full of web analytics and data folks.
• I’ve posted the query there and am waiting to see if anyone has data.

I'm currently particularly amused by the little extra tidbits that keep turning up making me go oh! and having to adjust my mental image of what is going on.

The winter coat. The villains speaking English.

Just so good. As an aside, I can't wait for the next (and last?) Thursday Next.

Reminder that print stylesheets exist and that you should try printing your website periodically and make the print version look good. People do still need to print things sometimes.

Happy Thursday! I’m so so so excited to finally be able to share a video of a talk I gave earlier this year at QCon NY - Hard Problems in Frontend Platforms. I set out to describe all the problems that your Frontend platform has to solve using terms & concepts that devops-y folks would understand, and it ended up as a sort of love letter to the web. I am inordinately proud of this talk and I hope you enjoy it ❤️

Welp. I still have a job, but hundreds of my colleagues do not. I don’t know where they will all land, but you could not find a better bunch of kind, compassionate, and brilliant humans. You should hire them immediately if you get the chance. I would in a heartbeat

reading online discussions about git is always really funny because 50% of the people are like "i don't understand git" and the other 50% say “no you just have to understand git is a directed acyclic graph where branches are pointers to commits" and nobody learns anything

(the discussions we've been having on here have been going MUCH better than this and I'm very grateful for that)

Wishing the best for friends laid off today. Remember that layoffs are nothing more than evidence of inept leadership.

It’s been almost a year since I left Twitter, seems like it’s a good time to do an anonymous poll (if you have multiple accounts, scope your answer to your personal Twitter account only please):
