iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

I’d say probably not, since the bulk of your work isn’t developing. Doesn’t mean you don’t DO development, but it’s not really your “role” anymore.

I wish I had known about this event happening prior to today, as I would have loved to attend!

An icon for Ko-Fi would be a nice addition to complement Patreon

I suppose my fellow engineers using strong tags instead of divs is a step up, though if they’re already adding a tag, it’s REALLY not a stretch to just use a heading 😐

Happy birthday Anna! Hope it’s as wonderful as it can be!

Would love to follow, if possible!

I was also thinking of border-image when I watched the video, and despite @css-only.dev’s article, it just fails to fully click for some reason

2025. I’ve been building websites for over 25 years! I’m an optimistic type, yet I can’t help but feel uninspired in the popular direction of our field in this moment. There's still meaningful work to do here to be sure, but the driving trend to automate every creative step has become rather... sad.

Beautiful. Magnificent. Amazing.

I feel similarly about AI (and frameworks) and it gives me pause going down that road if it’s just going to lead to more work fighting the code. I used frameworks way back in the day (Bootstrap v1) to get going and understand layouts, but generally now they can seem like a hindrance.

Watched this earlier today and was like, “… oh yeeeeeaaaah… that’s still an option” 😅

I know I've seen a few people like @kevinpowell.co cover this in videos, but I don't remember whether it's fully explained *why* it works that way.

Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy pineapple on pizza, but that’s certainly not EVERYONE’s preference. Forcing that as a required field instead is just a silly reaction of, “There! I changed it! Are you happy?”

Also, I wanted to say I first came across your writing via the article “The Internet According to Me”, and while multiple items resonated with me (Neopets, Oregon Trail, etc), it was the DARPA Chief reference that I loved, because I’m the same way 😆 my brain went, “He gets it. We should be friends.”

I think it’s been close to a decade that I’ve told my family not to buy me things, because I prefer experiences and time with people over material items. Doesn’t stop them from asking, even when they don’t have much money in the first place, but feel obligated to buy “stuff” for others.

Oh hey, we picked that one up at Anime NYC 😆

Chris Brailsford @cbrails.bsky.social · 12/12/2024

Looking forward to seeing them implemented!

Chris Brailsford @cbrails.bsky.social · 07/12/2024

With lots of extra wrappers, JS, & workarounds / hacks 😅

Chris Brailsford @cbrails.bsky.social · 06/12/2024

But if they buy the book, how will *I* learn the technique?!

Chris Brailsford @cbrails.bsky.social · 06/12/2024

Ain't that always the way? "This season wasn't great... guess I'll need to stick around and see if they course correct in the next one!" 😂

Chris Brailsford @cbrails.bsky.social · 06/12/2024

I came across FROM via a few YouTube shorts. Are the first 2 seasons any good?

Chris Brailsford @cbrails.bsky.social · 05/12/2024

I recently came across a job post that wanted me to answer some questions via recorded videos, to help assess my "communication skills on remote settings." While I *get it*, it's also... not my favorite thing.

Chris Brailsford @cbrails.bsky.social · 05/12/2024

Ah, gotcha! Still, interesting to know. Thankfully there aren't too many deprecations made nowadays (as that would break existing tech), but it's also not *never*.

Chris Brailsford @cbrails.bsky.social · 05/12/2024

Out of curiosity, what was the tech deprecation that caused it to be shut down?

Chris Brailsford @cbrails.bsky.social · 03/12/2024

I ran into this recently myself, and had to run through the various plugins to figure out which was the culprit

Chris Brailsford @cbrails.bsky.social · 30/11/2024

I heard someone say “it’s funny how a 2.5 hour musical becomes 2 movies, the first of which is… 2.5 hours”, and that stuck with me 😆

Honestly? You never know at this point 😆

If it doesn’t, you can be the one to create it!

Guess I need to change my handle to evanminto.bsky.social and see what kind of chaos I can cause 😉

To be fair, I should have known better

That looks pretty awesome, even if unclear presently

Didn’t it become habit to start JS with a semicolon just to protect against OTHER JS not working and closing itself out? Is that not enough of an example of bad fault tolerance?

Chris Brailsford @cbrails.bsky.social · 20/11/2024

I just don’t understand how people can’t see that JS is one of the most fragile parts of the entire frontend stack

The best. You need to publish it as “The ONE Figma trick you need to win at BUSINESS”, and then be showered with accolades

Dang it Andy… I knew better, and yet
