Such sad news 😔 it was a pleasure to have Chris speak at @southwestruby recently. He’ll be sorely missed.

FML, Bugsnag sending a notification on old versions of safari caused basically all turbo requests to fail. Safari really is my nemesis.

Hey, we're hiring again!

We're looking for junior, mid and senior Ruby on Rails developers (Bristol or UK based ideally).

We're also looking for a mid to senior front end developer that like VanillaJS, Stimulus, Turbo, ViewComponents and accessibility.

My DMs are open!

@bbibbibiq @asyrafhussin4 @CodePen its the same as

.face-1 {
color: red;
}

.face-2 {
width: 10px;
}

[Max Prettyjohns @MaxPrettyjohns]

@bbibbibiq @asyrafhussin4 @CodePen They are using scss here, the '&' isn't in css afaik. it essentially appends what follows to the current selector. so

.face {
&-1 {
color: red;
..

would apply to the class '.face-1'

I've been experimenting with ultrasonic data transmission in JavaScript, as a potential payment method 💳. Here's an example of sending a payment link from an offline device via inaudible sounds.

If you're interested, I wrote about it ✍️

We are looking for another great human to join myself and Sarah to organise and run @CodebarBristol

We have big plans this year and need to bring another person on board. Are you someone who wants to support underrepresented folk follow their dream and get into tech?

Love getting a 25x spike in traffic, and nothing goes horribly wrong 😌

Pretty wild how Facebook can have such terrible UX/UI on its business/ad tools, isn't it your main revenue generator 🥴
