Starting off my day on the wrong foot by finding two different people being wrong on the internet. 😠

But I managed to recover by simply not responding. Okay, it wasn't simple. I deleted multiple toot drafts to eventually reach this place of momentary equanimity. 😄

I never wish for layoffs, but I do wish a lot of the JS-industrial-complex were doing something with their lives that made user experiences better in practice.

My great wish for this correction is that it causes them to want the same.

The baseline complexity of a stack is product destiny.

If you aren't writing that insurance contract up-front for the shiny JS baubles, know that it'll still send bills:

Your dashboard should be comparative with your product substitutes.

And yes, you have competitors.

Measure thine enemy; measure thyself.

do i know anyone in the bay area who could maybe be convinced to adopt a bunny? i'm running an event for our local bunny shelter on 2/12 with bunnies and free food, hmu for an invite!

Someone says "we need to communicate this gently"?

Cool, build a fucking dashboard.

If your culture emphasises _how_ to communicate over _what_ you deliver, your job becomes to manage upward comms as a front line: plan how, when, and where you will punch through the overwhelming stench of bullshit, and with overmatching force.

Stop worrying about what your employer thinks what you think about the product you ship.

If it's good, it's good. If it's bad, it's bad.

Your job as a senior leader is to articulate *why *and ratify the approaches that get you more good than bad.

IDK who needs to hear this, but Apollo isn't a sync system.

The answer you're looking for is RepliCache or y.js (w/ custom backend).

React team members saying "you should use a React framework if you aren't already", while their docs still point you at CRA and have for more than 5 years, is *mens rea*; consciousness of guilt.

Facebook fucked y'all's products because they knew the whole time that to keep this wrassler in the bag it would take constant vigilance and good infrastructure, but they never told you.

I urge anyone in their 20s who doesn't practice a regular physical activity like running to realize that they're making a huge mistake.

I started running in my early 30s and despite being reasonably fit, realized how dangerous it is not to do sports at least once a week.

/me waves expansively

*Events* remind me that the the JS-industrial-complex is fucking unrepentant. They won't fix their documentation to help developers avoid the mistake of adopting their technology outside the extremely small corner-cases in which it makes sense, and they're happy to predate your team's budget with fucking nonsense that you don't have capacity to minimally learn, let alone operate.

Toss the tossers, y'all.
