Isn’t it weird that CSS is a critical part of all websites, and yet “CSS expert” does not seem to be a particularly valued profession?

I still absolutely despise the way scrubbing works on the iOS 16 Lock Screen media player.

I am so sick of completely losing my place in podcasts because I accidentally brushed SOMEWHERE near the progress track

Screen Time for iOS is just… *so* comically bad at its job.
It’s a sitcom, called “The Don!”, staring Donald Trump, set in Rikers Island Jail, where Trump is sent by the judge for violating the gag order during the trial. He’s accompanied his trusted and world weary secret service agent Bob (no last name ever mentioned), who has the upper bunk in Trump’s cell. There are a collection of wacky prisoners in the cells in the block, including Cookey (he works in the mess hall) and who always promises the next day they’ll have hamburgers, but they never do. /1
I was promised a sci-fi future where robots would do all the menial tasks so that humans could focus on creating art and instead you assholes built robots to do the art so we all have to fight over the jobs doing menial tasks, good job.

This is my least-favorite iOS dialog box, the one where they want you to type in your Apple ID password. There is no option to get it from your password manager. There is no Apple Watch, Face ID, or passcode option. Because it’s an OS-level dialog box, you can’t check our password manager.

What Apple is telegraphing here is “your Apple ID password must be memorable.” And that is bad. They should stop doing this.

This is how I build apps now:

Standalone model(s) built with #Preact #Signals so they're implicitly reactive.

Components simply reference the model instance from context and access its (reactive) properties.

Testing the model without components is fast and easy. Testing the components a with mocked model is fast and easy.
