From GitLab's CEO Sid Sijbrandij in our Slack moments ago: "I’d like to remind team members that we are family and friends first and work second. As people start settling into 'new normals', I want to encourage team members to take the time you need."
❤️ GitLab. This is how you run a company.

The U.S. government will predictably:
A) not understand technology
B) attempt to exert more control over all people
C) fail to see how what they think is good will overwhelmingly be used for evil
This predictability is incredibly embarrassing.

Hi Canada!
We here in the US definitely love you very much (you're our favorite hat).
But somebody needs to tell you...
You've taken the French thing way too far and it's time to get a grip.

Last night I used CSS Grid, <picture>, <source>, and media queries to make image posts on my site super efficient and super responsive and I feel like a damn wizard.

As I better curate my digital life and slowly attempt to ditch all forms of social media, RSS has become my measure for "do you care about the web" and "is your content worth subscribing to." It's a rough measure, but I've really been enjoying exploring a simpler internet.
I use https://inoreader.com to manage my RSS subscriptions, and I really like it!

I fairly regularly have to use MacOS and Safari to test features on GitLab and I despise the experience every time. About half of it is MacOS trying to be smarter than me (it is not) or limiting my abilities to "improve my safety" (it does not), but the other half is Safari being a bad browser with bad UX.
It's a very frustrating experience.

My girlfriend was eating salsa and told me to "kiss my spicy mouth" and I told her to "kiss my spicy ass" and "she did not like that".

So one of my main goals for this website is that no JavaScript is required to get the full experience. I'm also rewriting it in Web Components, which means server-side rendering is required. It's... going really smoothly? I kinda thought SSR Web Components was a rough part of the WC story but... it's fine?

Imagine having a candidate who's overqualified for president like Elizabeth Warren (Overqualified! For president!), and still voting for the guy who was friends with Obama or the guy who's just the Trump of the left.

Surprise! The library that fundamentally depends on a VDOM implementation has a memory consumption problem!

Making a lot of progress (due to recently renewed vigor) on my project to own all of my own content. I'm moderately happy with my baseline MVP for long and short text content.
