In response to “The death of web development education”
I read Mat​hia⁠s S​chäf⁠er’s excellent post, titled The death of web development education. I was thinking about how I can contribute to the conversation and really struggled to articulate the problem. The most effective way I can contribute, in my opinion, is a crude sketch I just did of Piccalilli‘s Stripe chart for all time…

Weird request: we’re looking for a specific monkey teddy. We got this one when our eldest was born and he didn’t care about it until a few months ago and now he can’t exist without it. But we only have one and we want a backup. We have searched everywhere and can’t find it. Any leads appreciated 🙏

After thinking about this question all weekend, I think my favorite candidate is the alchemical symbol for air: 🜁 It’s connotes both atmosphere and “transfer”. It’s a standard Unicode character. It references a capital “A.” And it’s very simple, which feels appropriate for a protocol, like 🌐 or 🛜.
The alchemical symbol for air, a triangle pointing up crossed by a horizontal line.

After a couple evenings of ssh and struggling with network configs, finally sorted a personal PDS. Big props to @marque.at for the domain and @pds.dad for MOOver being the seamless parts of the process.

I think I invented something. I believe this is possible on the Apple Vision Pro, but I haven't seen it done on the Meta Quest 3. I've been calling it "Egocentric Masking," but that's a little self-centered. It's a way to see your actual body in VR, instead of a pair of floating ghost hands.

TIL "node -e" automatically exposes built-in Node.js modules, like fs. Makes tiny snippets like these much cleaner!
-node -e "const fs = require('node:fs'); fs.rmSync('./dist', { recursive: true, force: true });"
+node -e "fs.rmSync('./dist', { recursive: true, force: true });"

It's incredible how it was revealed that the anti-trans push over the past decade was concocted in no small part by a literal PEDOPHILE CONSPIRACY and the reaction of transphobic lawmakers, journalists, academics has been a shrug and a "well, we gotta carry out the orders from pedophile island"

in 2017 a popular twitter game was to type a partial phrase then see what your phone auto-completes it with.
this proved so popular that it is now the only business model in the US.

I've thrown this "stacks" app together to test how easy it'd be to derive from @npmx.dev's lexicon and display up-to-date tools or tech stacks - especially if they'd be open to expand their likes lexicon (wink wink 🤭). Turns out, pretty easy!
