You know I like the weird shit. How weird are we talking here?
@berkes
@simeon I would love to take you to coffee some day and explain the whole sordid mess, but the short version is almost entirely the opposite of what you suggest. What happened was that some very smart people came up with a very specific solution to a very specific problem, released that solutions to the web, and the idiots on the web decided that these are the solutions to EVERYTHING.
React was a solution for Facebook internet explorer problems. Angularjs was a solution for consistency at Google. Angular2 was a solution for Google because angularjs was kind of lousy and everyone would rather write react. Vue was a solution for the fact that UX specialists always hated react. And developers responded with enthusiasm because they'd rather write this stuff in pure JavaScript than learn the polyglot, multiparadigm browser.
The problems, fundamentally, are that html is not composeable, css is contemptable, state is hard, and the internet grew too fast for its own good.
@berkes
Tailwind doesn't solve a technical problem, it solves a recruiting problem. It's just the next in a long series of products that attempt to abstract away and simplify core browser technology in such a way that we can avoid retraining developers from other specialties into web development.

Oh that's interesting, finance is almost always cobol, never fortran. I'd expect to see basic before fortran! To what purpose was the enter key disabled?
@eilatan @Rustymarble that honestly sound amazing
@eilatan @Rustymarble oh HONEY. been there lol and I'm supposed to be a css expert

Just so we're clear, we all know Google Reader was sacrificed so that AMP could live, right?

My veterinarian was asked if my alleged shoe-biting means I need a vitamin or something. She said no, I’m “just being an asshole”

Yes, if you can, do. If you're like me and didn't have access to a 401k until you were in your 30s, do your best and try not to be mad at the 18 year olds with 401ks

One of my biggest regrets was not contributing to my 401K with matching employer funds starting when I was 18.
Do NOT fuck this up if you can manage it financially. I've been contributing overtime recently and I'm still in deficit.
Go to your em…

@Rustymarble @eilatan I changed my name TODAY so confusion ensued BUT JavaScript caffeine and rage are my jam hello!
OK, lesson learned, just because I can cross post between masto and twitter in both directions, doing so creates a literal echo chamber bouncing the same shit back and forth forever. Which should have been obvious from the start but here we are.
@AmeliaBR @sarajw qoto.org allows me to subscribe to instance feeds and either mush them into my home feed with the people I follow directly, or make custom lists of one or more instance feeds and it just makes so much *sense*.
I guess it would make less sense if mastodon gets over the hump and everyone runs their own mini-instance? But even then yes I do want to subscribe to my friend's server for their entire family and my company's corporate instance so... yeah. useful.
@sarajw awww, thanks :) it's honestly fine, it's not that I want to *be* on f-e.soc (with all the cool kids damnit), I just want to read it all and interact with the cool kids and also have them all in one place. I don't know why domain subscriptions still aren't a masto feature tbh, because this is great
