A pet peeve: link text of “here”, “click here”, or “go here.”

2. click here
3. go here

isn’t helpful.

Tonight I want to rant a bit about money.

just found out about @5t3ph’s Style Stage, a modern take on CSS Zen Garden… giving me major nostalgia for my early web dev days! stylestage.dev/

😮 TIL; Quik.dev is an Internet Explorer as a service.

Seems pretty interesting. Quik works by running a modern browser headlessly and drawing a “canvas” of your site back to your end-users. Keystrokes, mouse movements, and other user interactions are supported.
