Someone just emailed me to offer a redesign of my Magento site. I'm taking this as an insult to my site 😤

One Star Review https://rknight.me/blog/one-star-review/

The tale of my one star review for a beloved movie

@marsh931 @robb finally, some sophistication around here

@robb @marsh931 reminds me of that time I tried to watch Wolf Of Wall Street on a flight. I gave up before the end. I don't understand why so many people praise it??

DavidDarnes,
@DavidDarnes@mastodon.design avatar

@marsh931 @robb just goes to show that there isn't a right or wrong way to watch and enjoy movies

New Web Component! <random-source>

"The random-source Web Component allows you to cycle randomly through different audio or video sources, utilising existing HTML elements and providing an elegant fallback experience.”

There are two conferences in the UK I had to cancel again this year, which is fine because family comes first, but I really hope that it's going to work out next year. There are so many people I'd love to meet in person (again). ☺️

@matuzo 😭 (much love to the family right now)

We need to stop making sci-fi until tech bros can learn the difference between a warning and an aspiration.

Edit: because this post is doing numbers it’s important to explicitly acknowledge that this is a bad take on a complex and big problem.

@scott tech bros are doing to sci-fi what politics has done to ‘The Thick of It’

Watching the online Into Design Systems conference.

🤞 it might give me some chutzpah to get out of this hole I've been in for ~12 months.

Over at #zeroheight we're wanting to delve more into the ways in which we can help developers build and use their #DesignSystems.

If you're interested in the features we're building for this cause and want to provide feedback you can sign up to our Developer Early Access program:

I was listening to @shoptalkshow this morning and @davatron5000 shared a story about one live coding interview that just didn’t go well, and it was highly relatable to an experience I had too. I thought it was great that he shared it because it happens and it can be easy to feel like it’s a reflection of how you really are at work, but it’s often about something else entirely, and your next call might go great! Anyway, thanks Dave and congrats on the big new gig!

DavidDarnes,
@DavidDarnes@mastodon.design avatar

@scottjehl @shoptalkshow @davatron5000 oh I should give that a listen. Had a somewhat recent awful coding interview which in retrospect I’m glad I didn’t pass 😅

DavidDarnes,
@DavidDarnes@mastodon.design avatar

@scottjehl @shoptalkshow @davatron5000 100%! Technical interviews will forever be the place I do my worst code

Why are all the AI demos like “hey what’s this?” and they’re pointing it at a fucking can of beans or something

DavidDarnes,
@DavidDarnes@mastodon.design avatar

Going to buy a Rabbit R1 and reprogram it so everytime I point it at something and ask “what’s this?” it’ll reply with “Jesus christ that’s Jason Bourne”

Getting to the point where I would pay to not have AI features clogging up my day-to-day apps.

@scott_riley that’s the long play

Great to see @jackcheng launching his own iOS notes app. I’ve always felt that the best notes app is the one that allows you to capture an idea as fast as possible. Downloading immediately!

@elliotjaystocks @jackcheng oh this is almost perfect timing for me. Been wanting to streamline my blogging to just humble markdown files in an iCloud folder. This may compliment my use of MarkEdit (https://github.com/MarkEdit-app/MarkEdit) on desktop. Just downloaded to give it a whirl!

Thanks for sharing, and making it Jack 😊

Wrote my first article for #zeroheight! It's an interesting one as it's about a hidden feature within the product that people on the team didn't realise could be used in this way.

Use your zeroheight #DesignTokens directly in your development projects using the Tokens Manager export options:
