I am not a designer (I think I'm actively bad at design even) so I don't mean to bash anyone, but as a user I find interfaces like this absolutely terrible:

https://www.msn.com/en-us/tv/news/the-1-sitcom-of-all-time-isn-t-seinfeld-friends-or-the-office-according-to-data-see-the-top-100/ss-BB1lXB5Z?ocid=msedgntp&pc=U531&cvid=0616b5997d6a41b88a4a09b1380343cb&ei=41#image=1

It's so damned busy and distracting, where does the article stop/start? The article itself literally seems to stop at "Counting down from #100, here are the best sitcoms of all time." which is the clickbaity shit that gets you there in the first place. Where? Where is it? Can you find it? I can't.

When you work on the web platform and web standards.

Font Awesome raised $721,620 to build an open source library of web components. Their goal was $30,000.

I need to collect my thoughts and put it in a blog post but I'm curious what the community's thoughts are on this because that is not a trivial amount of money.

As a web platform PM working in open source and trying to find ways to get funding for projects...was this good marketing? Is it selling a different solution to what's already out there?

I’m just wondering how people would react if I posted I was handing out books on Wicca and Witchcraft that I’d signed at a tech conference.

So someone tagged me on LinkedIn saying my book inspired their most recent video...and then they proceed to link to two books by men instead of mine.

I got to try @jhey's Brick Yourself (https://brick-yourself.vercel.app/). I love that it nailed a Steel City shirt that I wasn't even wearing :) 🤘 Love it. Thanks @seaotta for reminding me of it.

To my UK tech friends: would anyone be interested in the occasional evening out/group dinner with other tech friends somewhere relatively central or with a changing location that's still accessible by public transport?

Particularly an evening that is not necessarily centered around a conference.

@w3c I just tried to view an editor's draft and this was the experience. Not sure where to report an issue.

The last few months of uncertainty about what country I'll be living in and visa processes and moving my dog abroad have all been good and fun* but I'm finally settled and in need of a new job.

I bring 14 years of web design/UX and product management expertise to the table with a focus on developer experience & DevTools.

I'm open to FTE positions or freelance design projects.

Me happily spreading the good word about new CSS features on TikTok. Specifically ‘initial-letter’

TikTok: why don’t you just use tailwind

I think they missed the point of the video ✨
