It’s #STFUfriday!

When cops ask you questions, ask for a lawyer and then STFU:

- I am not discussing how I’m doing or where I’m going.

- Am I free to leave?

- I am not answering any questions.

- If they ask to search anything: "I do not consent to a search."

- I want to talk to a lawyer.

Don't trust the cops. Are they promising you a deal? Not only are they allowed to lie, they don't even have authority to to promise you a deal. Only the prosecutor can do that. Ask for a lawyer and STFU.

Ok #indieweb, what's everyone's favorite looking indie sites out there? Looking for some #webdesign inspiration 😃

I'll start, 4 of my favorites are...

• https://flamedfury.com/ (from @flamed )
• https://rknight.me/ (from @robb )
• https://coryd.dev/ (from @cory )
• https://fromjason.xyz/ (from @fromjason )

Trying to tweak my color schemes, font and maybe general spacing on the site... maybe tune up some of the structural stuff too, just not quite sure.

Whatcha got?

Consider one Mr Alex Russell. He has a headache. He senses something off, but he can't put his finger on it. He's looking at web page. With a carousel. And some links.

As is the style, it has three copies of React (3), between the document and two (2) iframes. None of which is shared. It's served as 200 requests across 40 connections.

Or at least it's the style...in **the Twilight Zone**

Back in the first weeks of the COVID shutdown, I gathered a pantry of food, board games, puzzles and hand gel. I wasn’t sure what would happen.

A few months later, mass graves were dug in New York City, refrigerator trucks stored corpses at overflowing hospitals, and the names of 100,000’s of victims were published in the paper.

Here we are again in that weird period of dread before oncoming disaster: “The Before Times.”

Only this time, it’s not a virus. It’s hate. Still, no one is safe.

Do not hire WATs. Do not indulge WATs.They are not useful, and they are not helping. They will waste your time and burn your money.

Hire dirty, grubby, grime-under-their-fingernails engineers. People who are not afraid of a torch and a wrench. People whose primary skill is in *Iooking* at the world, then building to that reality. Folks whose disdain for developer tool marketing is palpable. Sceptics and dissenters. Hire *them*.

It finally crystallised, after all these years. I now understand my groundhog day experience of being the first person to take traces for a high-profile service, or to read the JS a tower of bundlers and build tools "optimised": the JS community (principally the Over-Reactors) are theorists.

Web Application Theorists.

WATs.

They do not understand how it's going because *looking* is discouraged. These are not engineers. They do not engineer because they don't accept constraints as legitimate.

Hey Chinese Americans,

You know all those stories your grandparents told you about during the cultural revolution? Like how your neighbour's uncle got arrested for listening to the radio and and so and so snitched on this person or that person?

If you're lucky enough to have grandparents/aunts uncles old enough to remember any of this, ask them about life then. Ask them how they survived. Ask them what kinds of things they did.

All those lessons are about to become very useful. I heard my grandma tell the same stories and got bored of them. I sure wish I listened when I had the chance and took the lessons in.

There are fewer and fewer who remember those days but there are still some. Ask for their stories. You won't regret asking.
