Which side are you on?

The Which Side Are You On? (remix) by Rebel Diaz came out 11 years ago, and it’s more relevant than ever… Gave the money to suckas while our community’s still poor Withdrew the troops but started another war Colonized and terrorized and created an oil crisis So they could make a killin’ on food and gas prices Prisons is fillin’, they tryna lock up the future Militarize borders and control of computers

Generative colors with CSS

I just updated the CSS for my website to use a fork of Kelp UI, which includes a much more consistent and easy-to-maintain class system than I had before. Quick aside: if you see any bugs in your travels, please let me know! While it mostly looks the same as before, the biggest change was to the color palette. I’m now taking advantage of relative colors with the oklch() CSS function to dynamically generate all of the colors used on this site from just six hex codes defined as CSS variables.

Anti-work

An obsession with work is a colonial, patriarchal, and capitalist construct. As such, the anti-work movement is an important part of decolonization, feminism, and anti-capitalism. Work is a tool of oppression By anti-work, I don’t mean that no one ever works. That’s preposterous of course. There are things that need to get done, and people need to do them. But this obsession with hard work as a virtue, as a good and righteous thing to do, the glorification of toil and sweat and labor… that’s a tool the wealthy who don’t work for a living use to oppress those who do.

Tradies

Last week, I wrote… I used to love this industry, and I do still love many of wonderful people in it. But as we’ve shifted from a craft to industrialization, everything I loved about the work itself has died. I’m constantly wondering, “What would I do next if I wasn’t in tech anymore?” And I keep coming up short. Trade & Craft I plan to keep riding the tech train for as long as possible, but treat it like a trade rather than a personality the way folks in plumbing or carpentry do with their work.

Ooh for all lefties who only operate their phone with their thumb, a.k.a. myself. I added a left-handed option on mobile in the accessibility menu in my theme. 🤓

Originally I wanted the buttons in the middle, I tried it, but it was nasty, this is much better!

Pruning the garden (the end of the Daily Dev Tips newsletter)

tl;dr: I’m ending my Daily Dev Tips newsletter, and transitioning to RSS exclusively. I will still be publishing articles here (just not by email). I’m done I end up quoting Anna Cook a lot here. Recently, she posted on BlueSky… I’m so tired of the tech hype machine. Idgaf how you’re optimizing with AI, what the hell are you doing for people? How are you making the world actually better?

I hate to say I’m desperate, but I haven’t had work in *months*. If anyone’s looking for a #freelance senior #wordpress #developer, please keep me in mind. I do full, custom theme builds, specialize in #accessibility and #semantic code, and am a great communicator about time estimates and budgets! My full portfolio is www.amberweinberg.com

If you don’t have any work, I would appreciate a boost 😊

As a developer who builds websites, I just can't understand why restaurants put their menu as an image or PDF on their website. It's unreadable on small screens. And probably also very inaccessible (didn't check it).

So annoying, how to decide if you want to eat somewhere if you don't have a laptop or desktop at hand??

Use plain text!
