Today I launched a new side project. 🥳 It’s just a simple website with useful links for people with ADHD, but I hope it will help some of you.

I beg of you, web site designers, just let me scroll through a page and stop trying to make my scroll-wheel the hand-crank of your obnoxious hurdy-gurdy of a marketing presentation

If you are a #webdev type person and lately the web has felt kinda dry and not fun anymore, consider building a static site from scratch with no build steps, node, or vite.

Instead sit down in front of a code editor and hand code some HTML, CSS, and JS on your own. Fire up the @MDN web docs in a window, turn off all the builders and makers and pre processors and winds of tail and frameworks, and just try to build something cool, quirky, half-broken half-made, animated, and wholly your own. It will really help you get back in touch with why you wanted to be a web developer in the first place.

They play, they fight and they cuddle with each other.

I saw someone else say this, and I don't disagree: CSS is the only language that gets blamed when the author is bad.
I wrote about our experience of the Rhodes wildfires to get it out of my head while it’s fresh and we are safe https://andy-bell.co.uk/rhodes-wildfires/
Rhodes wildfires - Andy Bell

You’ve probably already seen that Rhodes is currently being hammered with wildfires on the news. We’re currently, at the time of writing, in Rhodes on a family holiday and we’ve been affected by the wildfires. I’m going to note down our story and I’ll start by saying that we are safe, well and incredibly lucky […]

“We notice you are using an ad blocker…”

Yes, and I notice you are using a few dozen trackers. Turn off the trackers and I will look at your ads. Until then, we are at an impasse.

This is hilarious. It appears that Twitter is DDOSing itself.

The Twitter home feed's been down for most of this morning. Even though nothing loads, the Twitter website never stops trying and trying.

In the first video, notice the error message that I'm being rate limited. Then notice the jiggling scrollbar on the right.

The second video shows why it's jiggling. Twitter is firing off about 10 requests a second to itself to try and fetch content that never arrives because Elon's latest genius innovation is to block people from being able to read Twitter without logging in.

This likely created some hellish conditions that the engineers never envisioned and so we get this comedy of errors resulting in the most epic of self-owns, the self-DDOS.

Unbelievable. It's amateur hour.
