nice lil precis here.

Australia’s bushfire crisis has prompted a warning from our science minister, (Yes, we have a science minister!) to stop wasting time arguing about whether climate change is real and start acting. But how much action is the government really prepared to take?

The rich and powerful have forced us to accept and “adapt” to every other oppressive, thieving system they foist on us. It’s never NOT worked for them before. They do not care and will not stop until this is no longer viable for THEM.

Watch now as ex-fire and emergency chiefs announce an emergency bushfire summit, even if the Prime Minister refuses to join them. twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…


This + git hooks

I encourage everyone to use automatic code formatting, helps with productivity a lot! Fun fact: Angular has been doing this for years (much before the release of Prettier). Clang-format has been formatting billions of lines of C, JavaScript, TypeScript, etc. for tens of years.

There’s a lot of crap intertwined with the practice of agile, but at its core is this utterly novel notion that code should be written collaboratively. This idea is astounding, revelatory, amazing, & fundamentally revolutionary. Agile is not like anything that came before it. 6

The story of struggling with layout in CSS is a story of struggling to deal with overflow. What happens when things don’t fit? Master overflow, expand your understanding to include the full palette of options of what to do when things don’t fit, & you will master CSS Layout.

I simply so utter done with this myth that only people who act male, act white, act nerdy, dress badly, eat junk food, have poor social skills are qualified to be developers. That there's a special insiders club which most people can't join. I'm utterly sick of that idea.

It is when the company was heavily VC funded and could not figure out how to make a profit. I'm glad they were bought out by Microsoft versus Google or Facebook. At least most of Microsofts revenue stream doesnt come from using our data.

“If developing Chrome-only websites represents one extreme of bad development practice, shackling yourself to a vestigial, obsolete, zombie browser [IE] surely represents the other.” What’s a web designer to do? alistapart.com/article/the-sl…
