Pretty exciting news to share today. I don't always share with whom I'm partnering, but this time, it's special. I'm partnering with Greyd.Suite to consult them on strategic and technical topics.

I asked Cursor to help me add correct indentation to a file and while generating it, it ended up throwing an error. While it worked on other files yesterday, it's not working today. Anyone know any good resources how to use Cursor?

I was wondering why Twitter didn't work all day and no one else seemed to complain about it online, so I was curious... Turning off that one browser extension that made it halfway usable made it work again, so it looks like it's blocking viewing the content when the extension is active.

This week's learning: Safari is the new Internet Explorer. Added what I thought is an accessibility improvement? Safari just doesn't display those items anymore. Trying to use a z-index? Well good luck if the rendering stack is turning out what you want it to be... or not.

Almost as good as the fact that @jessicalyschik.com and @karmatosed.art are being sponsored to work on WordPress is the explanation of why they are sponsored: “If you rely on an open-source platform, you have a responsibility to support the people who make it better.” greyd.io/why-greyd-is...

TIL that when having a word with ß (lowercase sharp s) and using text-transform: uppercase, it will always convert into SS (two uppercase regular s) instead of the capital version which is ẞ. The fun with special characters. 🙃

I guess the numbers are only relevant to your own repositories as I've commented way more than once on Github. But hey it's blue and I got the cat 😀
A blue card with statistics about Jessica's Github account. At the top left, is her name, on the right is a score of 376. Below this line there's a pixel art of a white cat with steampunk-like glasses on, in front of what looks like a city with tall buildings. Below the image the Github username luminuu is shown, followed by a description:

A web wizard with 38 contributions, mastering PHP, CSS, HTML, SCSS and JavaScript. A versatile coder ready to tackle any project!

Below this sentence, there's a table with three columns, the first showing icons, the second holds the description and the third some numbers.

From top to bottom: 
- two icons with the Pull Request logo on a green gradient background, Contributions - Novice Maestro - 38 points
- one icon with a speech bubble on a white background, Comments - Silent Observer - one point
- three icons with the issue icon on a indigo blue gradient background, Issues - Issue Maestro - 74 points
