That is good to me as well as that.

Someone please convince me that date-fns isn't inferior to Moment.js. The API is harder to use, and you have to add an additional library (date-fns-tz) for the basic functionality of converting dates to local timezone.

How is it that I’ve never interacted with a political post on Bluesky but my entire feed is political posts? Do I need to switch to Mastodon or something to keep up with the JS folks?

Why do developers of widely-used open-source projects insist on drastically changing the APIs so I can't just easily update packages? Looking at you, ESLint.

I’ve started gardening and landscaping in my free time. It feels like refactoring the earth. It’s nice to have a hobby away from a screen.

ChatGPT is really good at making sure your front end can handle any possible combination of characters...recently, I just got back the letter "s" repeated 300 times, and another one that just returned \t over and over.

This is what my website looked like in Safari for the last year or so since I used `light-dark()` and CSS nesting.

Ever just realize your website looks like absolute shit on Safari but you never checked before?

Are people still using Tailwind in production applications? I feel like there's something I'm not understanding about how this works...if the designer decides that the border radius across your site should change, does this mean a find+replace all across potentially hundreds of pages?

Who is still using moment.js in TYOL 2025? Every time I try to use date-fns I just switch back to moment because I think the API is easier.

I continuously forget to check Bluesky or write posts because my desire to think about code in my free time after ten years of writing code 8 hours/day is pretty low.

What is the preferred project to use to spin up a quick SPA since Create React App is no longer maintained? I like spinning up little FE apps locally to play around with various libraries and don't want to deal with config.

You know you're a developer when you use words like "ephemeral" instead of "temporary".
