There's a lot more to say, but we can skip to the end: JS-first development is, in the main, classist and elitist.
There are pockets doing it better -- including some that are downright exceptional in their inclusion -- but they are the exception today.
We need to sit with that.

...which means that the level at which rudeness is commercially viable is inversely proportional to aspirations for scale.
Making a site with Next at any point in the last decade has been a terrible idea if you weren't actively working to turn certain buyers away.

Why, you might ask, is there a reasonable complete subset of the IANA timezone database [1] being downloaded in the critical path of a food ordering website?
Inconsiderate development. Rudeness.
I've likened this to stores hiring anti-greeters; bouncers to tackle poor-looking users and prevent them from entering, rather than welcoming them. Might work selling Prada handbags, but Veblen goods [2] are a small fraction of the economy.

Was trawling through a Superfund-worth trace from another high profile Next.js site, and realised that the best way to describe contemporary frontend is **inconsiderate**.
That is, nobody considered the consequences of their choices, including now-pervasive inattention to users on the margins.
Devs don't *mean* to do a terrible job (although that's the result), it's just that nobody is looking where they're going, and when the crash happens, Karen-style blame-shifting takes over.

The first four minutes of @cabel's talk were kind of a sweet, cheerful revisiting and update of ideas from his previous talk and a check-in on Panic, which is great—and then the McDonald's mural arrived and everything took a TURN
I don't think I've ever needed to do a "no spoilers!!" warning before about a talk, but if you can go into this cold, do

More overnight aurora from southern New Mexico.
This is an outburst of red curtains at 1:30AM with a fainter SAR arc higher in the sky.
The camera kept taking pictures until almost 4AM and the aurora kept on churning through the entire photo series.

Isn't it weird that Meta was able to suppress "political content" with an opt-out switch, but in fifteen years, can't figure out how to fix engagement bait?
Can't wait until the slop accounts figure out they can syndicate to the Fediverse.

I see an uptick in people asking about when the Servo web browser engine will be stable or have a proper release. Building a browser engine takes resources & funding is needed for those resources.

Where is it?
What I wrote back in March:
#Threads is built on #Instagram. Instagram has an API. #Meta, then #Facebook, literally invented GraphQL. They’re not building an API. They’re building a fucking federation protocol lol.

From my archives:
Thought— The concepts of federation and decentralization can be complimentary, but are not interchangeable.
Federation speaks to the ability to move between nodes— data, content, identities.
Decentralization speaks to power and authority over both tech and people.
I made this little social media compass to illustration the two concepts.
