Also, good enduring software is the result of good, strategic decisions. Choose wisely.

The higher up the abstraction stack you work the less you seem to value the lower level abstractions that allow you to do it. It’s disheartening to see modern web developers valuing tooling but believing HTML and CSS are ignorable automated implementation details.

@NuttySwiss @UkiahSmith “Recently, I was asked if I was going to fire an employee who made a mistake that cost the company $600k. No, I replied, I just spent $600k training him. Why would I want somebody to hire his experience?”-Thomas J. Watson (IBM)

Thanks for going further by focusing on character.

Designers: icons for actions is A BAD IDEA. Just had to help my mum write an email on a tablet after years of using the Gmail app and thinking it was reading only. The fucking pencil icon means *nothing* and the paper aeroplane doesn’t mean “send” either. Use. Words. On. Buttons.

“If we make it so that you have to understand programming to even start, then we take something open and enabling, and place it back in the hands of those who are already privileged. I have plenty of fight left in me to stand up against that.”

“The default margin on the side of a blockquote element is 40px (and not an em unit) because that’s what Mosaic did.” @meyerweb #cssday t.co/YFRgEbkgkP

it’s a good thing that we’ve all been using git’s decentralized fundamentals to avoid a dependency on one corporation amirite

I *love* visiting people’s personal sites and seeing how they present themselves to the world when the format is entirely up to them.

This is a great example of how to use Twitter to create engaging local content with low production costs. A local publication should be able to have their own sponsored ad placement on a thread like this.
