Web developer, emigrant, nerd, pun-creator. Bleeting about code and miscellaneous distractions I find while I'm building internet things. Probably more optimistic than I should be, but I don't think that's a problem 🗩 they/them 🌐 andribraun.dev

Man, I love Astro so much. As if the automatic 100 performance scores and ability to use components from any framework weren't enough, it just has all the nice little things that I don't want to roll myself, like sitemap generation and internationalization. astro.build

Font Awesome has icons in different weights. So, if you want to use a "regular" weight, you add the "far" class for "Font Awesome Regular". They also have a "thin" icon set, and obviously the prefix class for that is "fat". That is all.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

Shopify just auto-migrated my app to some "next-gen developer" thing, so now my apps need emergency reconfig. Of course, this happened right while I was trying to do ANOTHER emergency fix. Like, maybe give me 10 warning emails and let me migrate on my own time instead of randomly dropping this?

Part of my job is now reviewing and correcting AI-generated code, and while it has quite a few issues, the most annoying one is that it apparently just refuses to use SCSS. It can be working on an SCSS module with established nesting, and it decides to add its own unnested class right at the bottom.

My pointless Facebook debates honestly don't usually go straight to the other person straight-up admitting that they're pro-authoritarian and racist.
A screenshot of a Facebook comment addressed to "Andrew Braun". In the post, the commenter asks "What's wrong with authoritarianism specifically?" And goes on to argue that Georgian and Ukrainian lives are being sacrificed in an unwinnable war that will ultimately result in Ukraine losing land. The commenter then criticizes European liberal democracies because they "lock you away for advocating for your ethnic group not being displayed as the majority", and argues that this is a bigger threat to Europe than Russia is.

Confusingly, elements like radio buttons fire a click event even when they were selected via a keyboard navigation. Figuring out whether a user is navigating a form using arrows keys or mouse is more confusing than I thought it would be!

TIL that JavaScript primitives are passed by value whereas objects and arrays are passed by reference. So a = 1 will always be 1 if you pass it to a function, but a = { value: 1 } can be updated. I don't often have to track state in vanilla JS, so this just somehow never came up before!

Pro(grammer) tip: naming all your variables in complex functions with just one letter is super cool and will make other programmers respect you. Why name something "indexOfSymbol" when you could instead name it "p"? Assigning the value of an input? How about "nm" instead of "inputValue"?

Just started using Cline (cline.bot) last week and it's basically the missing piece of GitHub Copilot! I know Copilot has an agent mode behind the insiders build of VS Code, and I'll definitely give it a shot when it hits the release, but Cline has been super pleasant to use so far.

Being kind is usually free. A lot of the time, it's literally just doing nothing instead of doing something that hurts another person.
A meme-format image of Mariann Edgar Budde, a bishop who gave a sermon that U.S president Donald Trump attended. She asked him to show mercy and be kind to minorities. The next panel is a still of the two angel characters from the show "Good Omens". Crowley asks "What was it she said that got everyone so upset?"  Aziraphale replies "Be kind to each other". Crowley then comments, "Oh yeah, that'll do it."

The smart cow problem is the idea that a technically difficult task may only need to be solved once, by one person, for less technically-proficient group members to accomplish the task using an easily-repeatable method. The term is derived from the expression: "It only takes one smart cow to open the latch of the gate, and then all the other cows follow."

Trump’s anti-trans Executive Order is bad BUT it technically defines everyone as female. It states: “'Female' means a person belonging, at conception, to the sex that produces the large reproductive cell." Since all fetuses "at conception" are female, Trump just defined EVERYONE as female.

Today's etymology nerdery happened while looking up something else. The word 'gas' as we currently understand it appears to have been a mangling of the Greek for 'chaos'. And I can confirm when I have gas, it gets chaotic indeed 😜 www.etymonline.com/word/gas
Etymonline linked page, partial text of a definition. 
"gas (n.1)
1650s, from Dutch gas, probably from Greek khaos "empty space" (see chaos). The sound of Dutch "g" is roughly equivalent to that of Greek "kh." First used by Flemish chemist J.B. van Helmont (1577-1644), probably influenced by Paracelsus, who used khaos in an occult sense of "proper elements of spirits" or "ultra-rarified water," which was van Helmont's definition of gas.

Hunc spiritum, incognitum hactenus, novo nomine gas voco ("This vapor, hitherto unknown, I call by a new name, 'gas.'") [Helmont, Ortus Medicinae]"

Holy shit y'all, I just used Midjourney's edit tool to add a sunset, make a picture wider (by adding more content), and change my shoes. Absolutely bananas.
A picture of a non-binary person with long hair on a rooftop terrace in Bologna, Italy. The person is dressed completely in black and has brown hair and glasses. The rooftop terrace is red tile with yellow stucco, and the  background is filled with red slate roofs, yellow walls, and brick towers. The sky behind is gray and cloudy, and raindrops have been falling on the roof.A picture of a non-binary person with long brown hair, dressed entirely in black, sitting on a red tile rooftop terrace in Bologna, Italy.
