Good representation of the inside of my brain

The passive income movement was a fantasy about not having to give a shit. This is a terrible foundation for pretty much anything.

The "Passive Income" trap ate a generation of entrepreneurs

I had coffee last year with a guy - I won't use his real name - who told me he was "building a business." I asked what it did. Dropshipping jade face rollers. I made him say it twice. Jade face rollers. He'd found them on Alibaba for $1.20

It is sort of mind boggling to think about all the JS and browser quirk hacks that would have been needed to get two axis sticky stuff in tables to work well when I was starting out in #webDev. And soon enough, just a few lines of CSS. Wild!

This is true on so many other facets of the web platform these days.

CSS position: sticky now sticks to the nearest scroller on a per axis basis!

If you’ve ever tried to build a data table with a sticky header and a sticky first column, you know the pain. You’d think a simple position: sticky with top: 0 and left: 0 would be enough, but the reality was that only one of both would stick. A recent change to CSS fixes this: position: sticky now plays nice with single-axis scrollers, allowing you to have sticky elements that track different scroll containers on different axes. This change is available in Chrome 148.

A crap-ton of shape() inspiration from none other than @css to help burn your Thursday.

Saw baby great horned owls in their nest at the park today! Parents both nearby. I am no photographer but had to try to capture something.

Also got to see a loon up close. Good nature day!

A recent change to CSS fixes this: `position: sticky` now plays nice with _single-axis scrollers_.

Brutal.

When Microsoft acquired GitHub.

Feeling a bit vindicated today that I have moved away from using Axios. For anyone considering alternatives today, Ky is a nice lightweight option I can recommend.

Plain fetch is also fine, but Ky's readme lists some benefits over that worth considering.

@[email protected] Huh! That is definitely a lot more resultification than I got. Maybe I missspellled it? *[does search again...]* Oh. OH. OMFG with facepalm. The helpful AI was assuming I misspelled "neurodivergent", *and ONLY gave me results for THAT*. May I observe, once again: OMFG. :blobcatupsidedown: (Dear search companies: DO NOT DO THIS. I expect it to be fixed by tomorrow morning. Thank you.) #softwareGripe
