Next week I'm heading to Dublin—one of my favourite cities—for the European hashtag#emberjs conference EmberFest! Teamtailor has been using Ember.js as a core technology for our app since 2015 (in addition to Ruby on Rails), and I am so excited that we're one of the main partners for this great event.

I wrote another Tailwind post. Please stop making me write Tailwind posts https://johan.hal.se/wrote/2024/02/20/im-not-holding-it-wrong-youre-holding-it-wrong/
I'm not holding it wrong, YOU'RE holding it wrong

It seems to be open season on Tailwind CSS! Go and read this post by Tero Piirainen. Nothing I haven’t heard before, it hits basically the same notes as the other stop-using-utility-css posts: it implies that people mostly use Tailwind because of successful PR, and it assumes that its proponents are React-pilled newbies who just haven’t been exposed to the beautiful fire stolen from the gods by Jeffrey Zeldman, Prometheus incarnate, in the early aughts. This one goes a step further and includes links for learning CSS! Because you are obviously a lost child in need of guidance! Let me condescend right back, because that’s what I do best.

Stop Pair Programming and Start Pair Exploring

Articles providing tips to pair program are ubiquitous. Instead, let's talk about pair exploring, including why and/or when to pair program.
