@sil @nolan @tomayac as a professional developer of ridiculously complicated web apps, I can with extreme prejudice say that anything the platform can do to *remove tooling* would be a good thing for my teams development.
Tooling is without doubt the biggest drag on the JS ecosystem today. I spent a disproportionate amount of time making transpiling, bundling, testing and debugging work reliably and every 'upgrade' brings a new suite of weird bugs and time sink.

Mastodon Feed@dangillmor My experience is that any article with Twitter embeds isn't an article at all, it's a "some people are saying" listicle. I might as well be watching a local weatherman doing man-on-the-street interviews about how wet the rain is.

Watching President Biden and other top Democrats meet with Trump and normalize him in their concession speeches is the equivalent of the "This is Fine" meme.
Donald Trump attempted a coup. Just because he won't go to prison doesn't mean he didn't do the crime.
Who are they trying to convince that everything is normal? Themselves?

Mastodon FeedHave there been studies investigating whether repeated COVID infections lead to a reduced willingness to take basic precautions like wearing masks? Because it really feels like we've got a Cordyceps / Toxoplasmosis situation going on here.
