Jessica's 2026 Goals

2026: Go-aling home I have never been one to be like “202x was a dumpster fire”, but this time…yeah, 2025 was a dumpster fire. It may have appeared to some that I was having an amazing life living in ...

Does anyone have any suggestions for trying to use element.getAnimations() or getComputedStyles while there's another action spamming recomputes on the page? They return empty in this case, even when behind a requestAnimationFrame.

Who needs a gym when you can just carry heavy boxes several blocks to DHL.

Jessica Janiuk 🏳️‍🌈 @thepunderwoman.com · 21/08/2025

Yeah, absolutely, and I know that's frustrating to not know and not have any visibility other than our comments responding that it's breaking or needs a migration.

010

Jessica Janiuk 🏳️‍🌈 @thepunderwoman.com · 20/08/2025

Sometimes we don't even know how breaking a change is at first. Many times we do, but even then it might be nuanced. Sometimes we didn't think it was breaking, land it, then find out it broke a ton, and have to roll it back. But yeah, otherwise I agree indicators would be nice.

Jessica Janiuk 🏳️‍🌈 @thepunderwoman.com · 20/08/2025

We do our best to communicate our reasoning, but we get some people who are very upset. We see the passion. It's not easy to say no to someone. Just know there are real people on the other end.

040

Jessica Janiuk 🏳️‍🌈 @thepunderwoman.com · 20/08/2025

The point I'm making here is that if a PR is closed, it's not because it's personal. It's also not because it's not a valuable fix. It's also not because "We just don't want to improve X, Y, or Z". We always do. We just sometimes can't, and it may not be immediately clear why to the contributor.

200

Jessica Janiuk 🏳️‍🌈 @thepunderwoman.com · 20/08/2025

Yeah, exactly the kind of thing I mean. Additionally, we WANT to land contributor PRs. We're thrilled people are contributing. We also totally recognize the passion people have for the right solution. We wish it was always as easy as approve and merge.

020

Jessica Janiuk 🏳️‍🌈 @thepunderwoman.com · 20/08/2025

We get the occasional contributor that gets upset when their issue / PR is closed, and I really wish we could show them the details of how hard it would be to land their change. We're truly not rejecting it for no reason.

180

Jessica Janiuk 🏳️‍🌈 @thepunderwoman.com · 20/08/2025

When open source projects reject a PR, we're not doing it out of animus. Many times people create PRs with valuable changes, and while correct, would break so many people that we can't land it without a massive effort. We can't always commit to that. A lot of factors go into these decisions.

Pshhh... But that requires effort... 😉

This is also my hunch. I don't think it causes reflow. What's strange is it will return an empty array if something else has caused a recalculation of styles. It feels somewhat unsafe to use because of that.

010

Jessica Janiuk 🏳️‍🌈 @thepunderwoman.com · 05/08/2025

Does anyone know if `element.getAnimations()` causes a reflow, like getComputedStyles does?

I was in Paris for a long weekend between Friday and Monday. In that time, I walked 82,788 steps for a total of 58.53 km / 36.37 miles. My feet still hurt, but it was worth it.

For those that are trying to learn more advanced JavaScript, currying is when you take a function and then serve it with a creamy sauce and some spices typically with meat, fish or vegetables. Hope this helps!

I went an entire day not noticing I had two different shoes on. Same type of shoe, but different colors. I only discovered it when I took them off when getting home. I'm not sure whether to be embarrassed or impressed.

I'm having one of those days where I'm just totally exhausted and don't feel like doing much. The heat is likely contributing.

I never read the word "Apropos" as it's supposed to be pronounced. I read it as it's spelled and it messes me up every time.

That's a good use case for a dash. Nicely done.

Is it "use-case", "use case", or "usecase"? My brain always wants to make it one word, but Google docs keeps reminding me I'm wrong.

Happy Pride everyone. What I’m thinking about this Pride is, despite their attempts to make us go back in the closet, there are more of us now than ever before. They couldn’t make us go away if they tried their hardest.

Gosh it's frustrating how toxic the internet is. Even the things we love deserve criticism. I'll never understand people taking this kind of video as a personal affront. I really wish people would follow IDIC rather than being a D*CK.
