@jared I can't believe that we actually have a catbot emoji on Mastodon

@jared For a bot is alright😀

Mastodon has the best things from Twitter and Google+: lists and circles. I absolutely love it! 😍

@Vasu What annoys me about Twitter is that if you are interested in a certain topic and you search for a hashtag that is trending, trying to find out as many things as you can about it, that search will bring up a lot of escorts and flashers that add the trending hashtags to their post just to increase their reach.

@admitsWrongIfProven Whenever I get discouraged, I open a website made by the state. Most of them are not mobile friendly and they contain so much irrelevant information that the regular user gives up and leaves the website in a state of frustration and confusion, without performing the intended actions. They are built this way on purpose, to pretend that they are transparent. Our code couldn't possibly be worse than theirs... Some of the most important pages are not even included in the menu, only Google can find them. Even paying the taxes is a nightmare, the statement that you need to fill out can only be edited with Adobe, using any other pdf editor would throw an error. I always try to keep things as simple as possible and follow the guidelines in the documentation. Users will do whatever they can to get the things done and if they managed to get what they wanted, it's still good enough until you find a better way, even though they might have done it in a "messy" way.

@admitsWrongIfProven I actually started to learn C# and Kotlin a few years ago, so I couldn't suddenly change and become messy with my code when I started to learn JavaScript 😅 JavaScript can do more and more stuff, in 2-3 years you will be happy when you meet people who still think that Java == JavaScript.

#introduction Insomnia helped me discover Mastodon tonight. I am enrolled in a JavaScript class, so I might post some things about it. I am interested in science, engineering, politics & jokes.
