I'm always fascinated by the sub-sets of content creators who form around a specific subject and dissect it to hell.
Lately it's been the Digital Anthropologists and their think pieces on the effect of our digital surroundings.
As a collective, I've been calling these pieces "Theory of Web" or "Theory of *The* Web.*
While each has its own angle, the message is always the same— the web is harmful, the web landlords are harmful, what do we do?

I've been updating this post with new developments since Friday. I expect we'll probably see a lot more happening this week, and I'll try to keep adding on as events unfold. #wordpress

Recently, we made public RFD 463 on the Oximeter query language (OxQL), the DSL that we have developed for querying metrics in the Oxide rack:

But was a new language really necessary? On today's episode of Oxide and Friends, @ahl and I will be joined by our colleague Ben Naecker to discuss the origin, state, and future of OxQL.
Join us, 5p Pacific today:

A subset of modern thinking (promoted with ads and marketing, but eagerly adopted by others) seems to be along the lines of "I/We have a problem, but to solve it, why should I/we have to understand the problem or do any work?"

Regarding LB[1]: I boosted that essay even though I am only halfway through it as the first half is an excellent summary of the history of software development.

I really like Arca. It's like social media for curators? It's nice. A lot of people sharing really cool stuff from all over the web.
You can check me out on there. I have a couple referral codes if you want one. Just comment.

I'm looking for an elegant serif font for my #BearBlog. Any recommendations?
Also, this is my new blog (in addition to fromjason, not as a replacement). I'm challenging myself to post shorter notes with greater frequency.
Maybe those notes get turned into bigger pieces on my main blog idk.

@slightlyoff The frameworks have chosen to build their entire component system outside the DOM, using the DOM purely as an output artifact, and then unsurprisingly struggle to retrofit things that are DOM-first. Web components are a threat to their fundamental assumptions of what the role of the DOM should be, and so they claim it threatens the web.

2024 JS framework authors and 2024 Frances Ford Coppola share the same technical aesthetic: does any of this technology make sense in context? Nope. Are we all going to pretend it does? Sure. Why? Fantasy.

We should call Ryan's perspective what it is: platform NIMBYism. Pearl clutching over a non-threat that will, on balance, be good for him too. But he's too invested in the past too see it.
We aren't harming him (or any other framework author) by moving the debate up the stack. We're just declining to subsidise decadence further. Frameworks can create and derive value in the new world too, but holding up progress to make the comparison favourable isn't fair to users *or* developers.

Something unsaid here that I'd add: the idea that componentry should be exciting, or a location for groundbreaking new ideas (rather than just adding all the obvious stuff to web components at pace) is *wild*.
We have real frontend problems that need solving (looking at you, data sync); the internals of the lifecycle for upgrading angle brackets to JS objects aren't one of them. It's time to move on.

How many of you consume articles and blog posts via some sort of text-to-speech tool?
I almost exclusively use Safari's "Listen to Page" feature for all long-form content. Even if I'm reading along. It helps with the ol' adhd brain I got.
Throughout any give day I may read five to ten articles while going on my daily walk, washing the dishes, cleaning, etc.
