Y'all... I'm struggling.

Over 8 years or so, I grew a handful of tutorials around vanilla JS into a series of courses and workshops that actually brought in enough money to be a full time business for me.

Then last year, sales took a nose dive... 🧵 /1

Casey Newton and Platformer should have left Substack a while ago. Better late than never, but wow is the amount of navel gazing around them doing an easy thing far too late is absurd.

I'm getting so sick of people who don't live in the US insisting that Biden and Trump are basically the same thing.

Maybe just sit down and shut the fuck up on this one?

Is Biden a deeply flawed, and even bad candidate? Absolutely!

But Trump is a literal fascist wannabe dictator. We're voting on the difference between open and rigged elections. On women's access to healthcare. On the lives of immigrants. On whether or not LGBTQ people are full humans equally deserving of human rights. /1

A few years ago on Twitter, @ppk referred to Japanese people as "Japs," an ethnic slur.

He never acknowledged it was wrong, proudly owned it, and even doubled down. The tweet is still up, if you want to see it.

Today, he blocked me for asking if he still thinks that's an ok thing to do. Figured you might want to know, since I see some of y'all retoot him from time-to-time.

Maybe a ridiculous question, but... are Web Components the next "design system"?

Finally got around to watching "Baby Driver" last night, and HOLY SHIT ITS SO GOOD!

It reminded me a bit of a Quintin Tarantino movie, but actually good. Lots of that quirk and charm and chemistry between characters, but with actual stories and themes to it.

One of my favorite things about the internet is how many people I "know" that I've never met IRL but that I consider friends, interact with regularly, and genuinely care about deeply.

It's made finding "my people" so much easier.

You know the American healthcare system is great when the phone system refers to patients as "customers" and "make an appointment" is not one of the options you can select. 🙄

Wanted to follow up on this: I've since started using @phanpy instead (https://phanpy.social), and it's even better. STRONG recommend.

Yo, hit me up with your favorite developer/design podcasts. Does NOT have to be JS-focused.
