I visited a personal blog site yesterday and I just sat on the page and played around with the buttons and checked out all the pages. It was fun. #webdev

It's absolutely heartbreaking that I'm actually shocked to visit a website with little or no advertising. Or you know that feeling you get when you're just waiting for the paywall pop-up? We've ruined websites.

@slightlyoff *sigh* embarrassingly, I totally missed that this was happening. It explains a lot. Thanks for this great post. I'm going to go cry now.

🔥 New blog post! 🔥

I started writing a toot about @github’s new comment UI and it somehow turned into a whole 1.7k word article on simplicity, usability, their evolution, and the effects of poor UIs. 🤷🏽‍♀️

@slightlyoff It’s great that people are finally understanding. Clearly the interoperability of WCs is winning the day. And for that you can stay completely in the Light DOM.

Of course once you understand the dark side, you are forever changed.
