I enjoy writing HTML and CSS more than most people enjoy their hobbies.

This is such a killer idea - I remember one year where I felt like I wasted an opportunity to do something special with a team - this is the rallying cry we needed.

I just lost a battle with the Squarespace page builder. I am coming to grips with the idea that I'm too much of a control freak for the no-code world.

The Sony Creator's app is so painful to me. I use it just infrequently enough that a login is guaranteed, and the 2FA email never sends the first time. Are all camera apps this painful?!

The other side of the Whiny-Coin is how great the camera is. Maybe the pain is from that vast gulf between the awesomeness and awfulness.

I used web inspector on the modal just to make the contextually funny title readable. I think this cookie banner stuff is going away, and I want this tweet to be a reminder about what half of websites are like in 2025.

My son and I went on an adventure for the chance to try a 1964 Precision bass. I've never seen a pre-CBS Fender before. We agree it's a 11/10 recommendation.

Yesterday I launched a website - it may be the final WP site that I build from scratch. My first WordPress site was 2006, v1.6 iirc. I'm still rooting for the platform to be around for a long time; but I need to diversify the Eggs : Baskets

I need to quickly find a second favourite CMS, and welcome personal experience. I really want full control over all the code. Maybe it's no-CMS.

Web developer reality show idea loosely based on Trading Spaces, except they have to start and finish each other's website ideas based on domain names they've sat on for years.

Tomorrow MM's giving the annual State of WP at WCUS. I wonder if recent posts on r/wpdrama will affect it: 1. Yet another BlackRock devaluation of Automattic 2. WordPress Trademark Applications Rejected By USPTO A scorched earth can always be more scorched.

I got talking with another dev about wpdrama today, and was surprised how annoyed I still am about ACF being stolen, and only returned on court order... "How can you trust someone who breaks their own rules?"

Setting up a Mac Mini for an office. It will be tucked away out of site - Is there a problem if I put it "upside down"? Like is the top a major heat sync? Maybe on its side is the best option.

For those who complain about the power button: It's only actually on the bottom if you put it on the bottom!

A little detail that some people miss: If you get a Dropbox link shared to you, changing the dl=0 to dl=1 triggers a download of the file or folder.

Trying to spec out my next computer. I try to predict what I'll need to stay sane working on it in 3 years, but the current AI paradigm shift makes it hard to imagine what will be decent
