Hot take: Everybody hates the current state of frontend web development. Some people are lying to themselves. Some people haven't realized it yet. But everybody can feel that this shit is bad, and we just haven't collectively decided to talk about it yet.

The biggest change of viewpoint I ever went through in psych training was when I said “but what if they’re doing it for attention” and my supervisor was like “what’s wrong with needing attention?” and I realised I didn’t have an answer.

I’m gonna dox myself here but I’m getting ready to go public soon anyway, so I wanna make an appreciation thread about the place I’ve called home for the last two years. Here’s a picture of it today, and here’s what it looked like 6 years ago. 🧵

Remember that time Toronto came down like a bear trap on the guy who was building wooden shelters for the homeless in winter, because fire hazard?
Protesters at Confederation park, right across from City Hall and beside the NAC and Rideaul Canal, appear to be building some type of wooden structure. They've also collected a stockpile of propane tanks and diesel fuel. @CTVNews

Our leaders, municipally and provincially, have created barriers to making multifamily housing viable.

Watch a Tesla on the latest version of "Full Self-Driving" Beta almost hit a pedestrian who had a walk sign, try going down railroad tracks, & glitch to the point where the driver COULD NOT TAKE CONTROL.
