I reported this before, but now it's a bit clearer: jQuery did indeed peak in usage halfway through 2020, and is only *now* finally in decline.

What amazing impact... peaking at *80%* penetration of the top 100K websites!

We all owe @jeresig a big debt. Write less, do more!

Every time @RadioMilwaukee plays "Poem to My Child, If Ever You Shall Be" by Ross Gay it utterly destroys me, emotionally.

Having some conversations with this bunny ears duck about my struggles with form validation this morning.

A tweet to thank all the developers who create code generators for us devs to use.

You've saved me and many others devs tons of time and hassle with CSS gradients, shape generators and more.

Unsung heroes.

@dexterhandsome I'm embarrassed about how many times I've watched it now.

👩‍🏫 Quick thread on keyboard #a11y

If an interaction relies on a mouse-initiated action, it needs to be keyboard accessible too.

This means it may need to respond to Space and/or Enter as a trigger (hint: you get that for free with <button>).

Company culture is not written down, it’s acted out. A company’s culture is a 50-day moving average of *how it is*, not how it thinks it is, wants to be, or was supposed to be.

[Ali Spittel @ASpittel]

imagine being told you're just biologically and socially not suited for the thing you've built your career around over and over and over again.

also, imagine that there's no real evidence for this, it's just debunked and outdated studies used to bolster pre-existing bias.

I'm doing code reviews daily as a part of my job and I've decided to share some tips on code review in this article:

A perfect encapsulation of a system gone wrong from @Kellen_Browning:

People talk a lot about how lonely the last year has felt, and it’s not just literal isolation, it’s the sense that in a lot of ways the public was kinda left to fend for ourselves while this thing wreaked awful havoc

THE RISE OF THE BIs

[Standard Issue @StandardIssueUK]

"Let’s be clear: women are not stupid. If we were rewarded for being direct in emails, we would be direct in emails. Softened language, a conciliatory attitude, superfluous apologies – these are not the result of low self-esteem but of a calculation..."
Hear, hear @Martha_Gill!

The Ted Cruz Cancun story is a perfect illustration of how wealthy comfortable people are the last to have to face the consequences of climate change. They can afford to avoid suffering in the short term; no wonder they're not pushing for change that might affect their lifestyles

'Keeping yourself emotionally stable during a pandemic' is a very valid side project.
