Alright folks, it's That Time™

JavaScript for Everyone goes live tomorrow so can you do me a solid? If you see a post about it, can you boost/repost?

It's v hard since the divorced dad ruined Twitter, you see.

I'll love you forever 😘

Web Components Workshop topic of the day: ShadowDOM vs LightDOM for our Web Components Library. Thought I was going to get the team to split the lib between Atoms=Shadow, Organisms=Light.
Surprise, surprise, overwhelming support for LightDOM.
Damn, I’m proud of my team!
Keep it open, keep it flexible.
Design Systems are not the police.

It's becoming increasingly clear to me that Reflect Orbital's fucking stupid giant mirror satellite, with absolutely NOTHING useful to offer, which will cause countless safety issues, ecological disasters, and destroy the night sky, is going to launch.

I’ve gotten it in my head that a Web Components based #designsystem should strive for, if not achieve, zero dependencies. Real close-to-the-metal type thing. How you say - bonkers - n’est pas? /cc @davatron5000
