Person 1: You mean well, but I can just do it myself. Person 2: Look see! “Paint the shed” on April 20th. I’m only like two weeks late! Person 2: Oh... April 20th 2018.

There are 600,000 children in Rafah. They have nowhere else to go. If you support an invasion of Rafah, you're saying the lives and well-being of those children don't matter.

If you saw those children as your own, opposing the invasion wouldn't be a question. If you don't see them as your own, it's because they've been dehumanized to you. Otherwise no person with a conscience would look at an innocent child, let alone 600,000 innocent children, and agree they deserve to be bombed and killed.

"React is, for the vast, vast majority of organisations…objectively worse than many of the alternatives.

React meta-frameworks…are never going to outperform dedicated server frameworks or tailored front-end code.

They make hiring easier but they also make it easier for management to fire your entire team and replace you with something cheaper.

So it doesn’t matter if it’s worse. …Tech management will sacrifice technological progress if it disempowers labour."

Big news: I’m happy to share that yesterday I started a new job at Microsoft where I'll be working on web components for Fluent UI.

I've had a long relationship with Microsoft – from Paravel helping to build the first responsive version of their homepage in 2012 to the whole 5 year "#davegoeswindows" stunt that Rey Bango coordinated for ShopTalk – and this feels like a nice new chapter in that story arc.

Just wanted to make you aware of that fact, if you weren't before.

If you saw the CBS 60 Minutes segment on private equity's
"Ownership Works" push into employee ownership, and wondered why there was no mention at all of any organizations or people who have been advancing worker ownership for years and years, here's a look behind the PR.

IDK, man. Maybe testing on representative devices is actually too hard hard? But if you're gonna produce a "numbers every web developer should know" clout-farming thinkfluence feelpiece, maybe disambiguate compressed vs. uncompressed file sizes.

I used a grid method to get the character to approximate the image the kiddo picked. I drew the grid on the back of the poster, and I was using the outside light so I could see the grid from the front as I drew. When it's all done, the grid should not be visible.

The kiddo remembered the "pin the kissy lips on the frog" game they played on their 4th birthday and requested a "pin the nose on the Sonic" game for their 6th. I am attempting to oblige. I'm trying very hard not to make a mistake that requires me to start all over from scratch.

(Also, at about the time I finished transferring the pencils to the poster, I was like "Maybe there was a poster I could've just *bought*" But this way is more "fun" and stressful. 😆)

• Bad photo of a white 22 x 28 inches (56 x 71 cm) poster board taped up to a sliding glass door where a large image of 16-bit style Sonic has been transferred using a grid method. Only the black ink lines have been drawn so far, and his nose is missing because it's supposed to be "pin the nose on the Sonic". (remote)
