Dave DeSandro @desandro.com · 24/08/2026I personally love the 13 month calendar for its mathematical elegance. Blew my mind first time I saw it. Int'l Fixed is a 364+1 calendar, so it would run into same issue with 7 day cycle. PLUS you'd remap 90% of Gregorian dates. Even bigger hurdle 020
Dave DeSandro @desandro.com · 24/08/2026Hanke–Henry Permanent Calendar maintains 7 day cycle by using leap _weeks_ instead of leap days. There's also Symmetry454 calendar, which has months of either 28 or 35 days. I like the work around, but solar misalignment feels like a big compromise en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanke%E...en.wikipedia.orgHanke–Henry Permanent Calendar - Wikipedia 120
Dave DeSandro @desandro.com · 24/08/2026So big blocker to calendar reform is breaking 7 day cycle for day of worship 'keep the sabbath day holy.' Commandment number 4. Kinda a biggie. Reform for 364+1 calendars would need buy in from Jewish, Christian, & Muslim groups. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_C... 200

Dave DeSandro @desandro.com · 15/08/2026Yeah. More rows means fewer visual gaps if items don’t completely fill vertically. I mis-stated earlier - hundreds of rows but only 5 columns 010
Dave DeSandro @desandro.com · 14/08/2026Google images now uses a masonry layout. Looks like they are using CSS grid with hundreds of columns & rows. Debug grid overlay looks like needlepoint 2152

Dave DeSandro @desandro.com · 11/08/2026UI bugaboos (bugabuis?) - No hover state - Large fixed headers - Toggle switches instead of checkboxes - <div onClick> instead of <button> 000

Dave DeSandro @desandro.com · 11/08/2026Anecdotally, adopting some a11y practices — readable button text, aria-label, roles — led to better selectors in our testing, which spurred better test writing by agents, who love writing tests. It's been fruitful on both sides. But maybe because I'm bridging a gap 010
Dave DeSandro @desandro.com · 11/08/2026I'm fascinated by The Iron Snail's approach to content. The Icon Snail is a boutique-scale menswear brand. But videos are research-heavy deep-dives into other brands, often competitors. Maybe competitor erasure in advertising is an old fashioned taboo 000

Dave DeSandro @desandro.com · 09/08/2026👍 for mention non-physical underpinning of magenta, but still leaves me asking why does human experience of 'violet' have a red component to it. Evolutionary shortcut to better see magenta? Maybe I'm conflating spectral violet with purple. 010

Dave DeSandro @desandro.com · 09/07/2026If it's clickable, add a hover state. If you can click it, it should look different on hover. Pointer cursor is a good start. Add a hover state. Maybe even focus state. But definitely a hover state. You may not be the CSS person, but you can still add a hover state. Add a hover state 0101
