nit - it always bothered me that the accepted UX symbol for filter is in fact a funnel Funnels don't exclude anything They're just rate limiting for liquids

What if... doors were suddenly alive? They relocate, even reproduce. Any door can vanish and reappear elsewhere. People get trapped in their bathrooms. Homes are built with redundant exits. Parents teach kids never to trust an opening. Something I've been working on recently

I joined Reversim conf's team this year, designed the website & built a gloriously over-engineered interactive Rube Goldberg-style toy inspired by The Incredible Machine, packed with software dev metaphors. Link 👇 - try it out & lmk if you spot any bugs (figurative and/or literal) @phaser.io

Yesterday I did standup comedy for the first time ever. I covered DevOps, SQL, and how a chicken restaurant relates to that one time I broke production. It was terrifying and nerve-racking and I can’t wait to do it again. Huge thanks to the org @shairez.bsky.social + everyone who performed!

A few weeks ago at JS IL, I gathered the best (and worst) detectives to investigate a serious case: The death of a React app's performance🕵️‍♂️🔍 Batman, Agent Mulder, and Inspector Gadget all had their theories - some useful, some... bordering on conspiracy www.youtube.com/watch?v=dJG6...

Most of the developers I work with these days have never known the solitude of playing Solitaire on a computer that doesn't even have an internet connection

It was difficult to think of a proper pun but after breaking it down to its components, throwing away the excess then reassembling the funny it suddenly hit me. like a car

Starting over on a new social network is a little scary. So uh.. hi! I'm Opher. I'm a developer, designer and a musician. I give tech talks on software engineering, animation, interactive media and video games. This is Blizzard. He knows significantly less JS
