Growing up we watched Blazing Saddles, Young Frankenstein, and Silent Movie almost every week. Happy birthday Mel, thanks for all laughs and grotesque which shaped us.

Leaving Mozilla 1 month ago

First of all thanks for posting what's on your mind and everything you did at Mozilla. Sorry to hear you are burnt out, hope you get better with time.

I've been a loyal Firefox user since forever - reading, writing, web dev I do is always in Firefox. It's a first app I always install. I'm grateful Firefox exists, and the world (at least mine) would be much worse if it wasn't around.

I don't like Mozilla is taking money from Google - I'd prefer if it was all community driven, to the point of a community owned co-operative, but I'm probably delusional.

Yet, I'm hopeful for the future.

My default editor for the past couple years. Love the simplicity, speed, and the fact I can navigate comfortably with just the keyboard. Plus Elixir LSP integration is a cherry on top.

This will be another upgrade for my dev machine running NixOS since 17.something times. Thanks to all maintaines and release managers over the years for such solid work!

Couldn't agree more. To me 3D environment in games is frustrating to control / move around while 2D is straightforward. And I truly don't care about camera movement. Games are meant to be fun, not a chore with adjusting camera all the time.

Local First Htmx 9 months ago

Big fan of htmx here, so thanks for opening my eyes to a new way of using it with service workers.

But man, 10MB Go WASM download? That's a no go. It's not only about downloading it but executing on a clients machine over and over again. But I guess you can handle those requests perfectly fine just in service worker using pure JavaScript.

Kagi News 10 months ago

This but let me choose over what period I want news summarised. Daily is too often, even week is (at least to me).

Let me open the app once a month and see a summary of what has happened over it.

I've been doing no-build apps for a couple years now and it's been a great ride. The thing is you need to stick to the basics of the web, which tailwind isn't.

That's just my $0.02, some upsides, some downsides, it may not work for everyone.

I think I just always want to stop at the 90/10 place where you get 90% of the functionality with 10% of the code, and the remaining 10% of the functionality requires 10x the initial code.

And that should be the right approach 90% of the time. Thanks for your comment!
