I wonder if the word that describes our day and age best maybe is “entitled”

And I don’t just mean that a specific group are feeling entitled to a specific thing or such – it rather seems like everyone feel entitled to so many things – and these entitlements clashes often eg when A feels entitled to peace and quiet and B feels entitled to party hard with music on max volume – and then derails into an argument of “You’re stupid”, “No, you’re stupid” and every ounce of common sense is gone…

I’m wondering when the shift from prosumer focused freemium SaaS offerings to Enterprise focused “contact us to sign up” SaaS offerings happened.

I miss the democratization of services that came with the former and am flabbergasted about the pricing of many of the latter.

Note to self: Don’t read comments online and don’t engage in those conversations. It costs too much.

Upcoming #JavaScript iterator methods:

// Without iterator methods:
const arr = Array.from(myMap.keys())
.filter(k => isPublic(k));

// With iterator methods:
const arr = myMap.keys()
.filter(k => isPublic(k))
.toArray();

(I prefer not to do .filter(isPublic) because isPublic() may gain more parameters in the future.)

Open source: A community where we strive to put the blame on someone else

Users blame maintainers
Maintainers blame users

And contributors get mistaken for maintainers by users and for users by maintainers – so they receive blame from everyone and are maybe also blaming everyone?

Dipped a toe into a standards discussion and I remain convinced that it's not a world for me.

I wish we lived in a world where standards work was done by a wide, diverse, and open community rather than exactly the sort of technologist who loves to bikeshed.

It's such important work, and uniquely creates opportunities for amazing large-scale cooperation to happen. Too often, though, it's a place for insecure people to build little fiefdoms. 😢
