  • I really can’t tell Brands, Personal Brands™️ or spammers from legitimate human Twitter accounts these days. The end result is I rarely follow new accounts.

  • Just walked in on someone changing from running gear to work clothes in the toilets (no change room at the office). How do you tell someone they ought to do the nude bit in a cubical rather than the hallway doorway?

  • As more browsers include ad and tracking blockers, Google Analytics is becoming less useful. I guess it’s time to go back to self hosted log file analysis which comes with it’s own problems.

  • I might be overthinking it but I’m trying to decide the correct emoji order for a shave. I think it’s 🧔🔪 as the latter is the modifier, similar to gender modifiers ?‍♀️♂

  • @jensimmons has tip after tip after tip while discussing CSS layout on the Big Web Show. It’s very much worth a listen (and follow if you’re not already).

  • I never want to hear accessibility is too hard again, games are blind accessible. Games!

  • At a recent project’s peak, I was code reviewing full time for around 15 people. I sure did a lot of “LGTM, Approve” code reviews and no one seemed to mind. Why? I was respectful with change requests, happy to rubber duck & got to know the team. LGTM is fine. Respect is the key.

  • The descriptor “the bone has been removed and replaced with pancetta” needs to be used more often.

  • Not sure if anyone’s said this before but CSS Grid is p good.

  • Something I love about this original Hamilton performance is seeing LMM looking around after the first verse, realise the room is into it and visibly relax. It’s a really sweet, human moment.
