Consistent blogging on my personal website is one of the best things that I have ever done. Yesterday, I received this email from one of my readers. This is so kind and helpful 🫶

P.S. Yes, I am still looking for a new job.

Dear Hiring Manager at @nintendo,

I am writing to express my interest in the Software Engineer position at Nintendo. With my strong technical background and expertise in error handling, I believe I would be a valuable addition to your team 😜

This is beautiful. Testing JavaScript modules as if they were Rust code—right where they are defined.

Thanks @matthiasott for introducing me to the Tim Ferriss podcast. It is good!

I really enjoyed the conversation with @photomatt, especially the part about the comments section.

I have built a small comments engine for my website, which is highly opinionated. However, it lacks several features that you mentioned in your blog post. I am still unsure about Webmentions and would appreciate someone convincing me that it is a good idea. This is probably the last piece of IndieWeb I am unsure about.

365 days without alcohol. ✅😁
I don’t miss it a bit and feel so much better. Highly, highly recommended!

It is the time of year when I enjoy reading your annual summaries on your personal websites. This year is quieter with your reviews than a year before. If you published one, send it my way, please.

These are the ones I read so far.

“Schedule a GitHub pull request merge using Deno KV queues”

The pull request that triggered the publishing of this post was automated. The new post is precisely about this automation — using the Deno KV queue to schedule a pull request merge.

If you are not a Helix user, ignore this post — just some configuration gibberish. If you are a Helix fan, save yourself a hassle and copy/pasta 🍝 this one!

The CSS :nth-child selector has become a lot more powerful in 2023. It now supports the :nth-child(An+B [of S]?) notation, and it is supported by all major browsers.

There is still a shocking number of developers using JS to remove the border from the last div.

I wanted to publish a post about all the cool stuff you can do using :nth-child(), but @bramus has already published it. Good one!

Embarrassing confession of a developer with over a decade of experience (me).

1. I don't know how to write regex patterns.
2. I don't know SQL.

🤷‍♂️

Yours?

Let’s suppose a friend without any coding experience wants to get started with a personal website.

What advice would you give and which service – or approach – would you recommend?

And yes, I’m asking for my #OwnYourWeb newsletter subscribers again. 😉 RT=🎉

I listen to most podcasts in English 🇬🇧 x2.5 times the normal speed. I can barely understand a single word in Polish 🇵🇱 podcasts when I play them at double speed. English is much easier to understand than Polish when it's sped up!

I am Polish, and it is really surprising to me how I trained my brain to listen to the English language.

MDN Docs just got a whole lot better. At first glance, you can see information about the feature availability. I can't tell you how much harder my life would have been without this website! Thank you!
