My Mac just rebooted itself to install an update and now it says “41 minutes remaining…”

Please post funny pictures.

I am currently available for front end development projects! As well as front end builds, I also do WordPress and HTML emails – hit me up for a chat 🙂 joannaeyre.co.uk

@shortxstack I don’t get it. I’ve eaten 3 boxes of thin mints and I’m still fat. How many does it take?

@tvanantwerp @algolia I found this algolia.com/doc/guides/managing-…

Reasons to ship your whole website as an img+map tag:

– Images parse way faster than JS (duh)
– Responsive for free (width: 100%)
– Trivial SSR (image to base64 and inline)

Then you just sit back and profit from all the dev salaries you would have wasted building it in react 💸

I was curious how long browsers these days will wait for a JavaScript file to load before displaying content that comes after it in the page. So I tested it!

Chrome: 30s
Firefox: 30s
Edge: 20s
IE 11: 7s
Safari: 60s
Android Chrome: 63s
iOS: 75s

@horus_kol @StackOverflow But this is my only time to work on side projects

Oh no! @StackOverflow is down for maintenance. Now how will I get programming done?

@aaronjorbin You should schedule a 1 <==> 1 with yourself

@fugularity Yea whatever peg leg

Today I learned about the download attribute for HTML links. Handy if you want the link to download a file.

I wrote up everything I know about links (<a>) and buttons (<button>).

Special thanks to @ericwbailey and @geoffreygraham for the review and edits.

@shortxstack Awww how sweet…

*reads to the end*

oh… that escalated quickly…

@zellwk I think a solid understanding of vanilla JavaScript will make frameworks like React and Vue easier to learn. If you’re building something complex a framework can help give structure to the project. If you’re just sprinkling in functionality than vanilla JS would be best.

@tvanantwerp @YouTube My kids viewing habits seem to leak in so I have no fear about my recommendations anymore.

@pressingfm @wpmark @TimberWP Anyhoo I have way more thoughts on this than can fit in tweets. I would love to be on the show and vouch for Twig templating.

@pressingfm @wpmark @TimberWP I still like to use WordPress’ template hierarchy so it is familair to other devs. I just collect the data in PHP and pass it to the Twig template to be rendered. Here’s a simple demo theme to show it in action github.com/kingkool68/sprig-demo…

@pressingfm @wpmark @TimberWP I do like using Twig templates for rendering HTML from data. I created a small plugin to integrate Twig with WordPress and use a few filters for escaping. github.com/kingkool68/sprig

@pressingfm @wpmark @TimberWP Timber is weird to me as a lot of it is duplicating PHP logic in another form. That really turned me off.
