Appearing to inject content into other companies' sites doesn't really sell the "trust of Microsoft" IMO

[Cassie Evans @cassiecodes]

I've kept this a little quiet because there was a waiting list who had first dibs.

🥳 But I'm throwing another online SVG workshop starting next week.

This will likely be the last time I'll run this virtually, if you can make it, come along!

@bryanl I guess most devs are familiar with it.

In almost every company I've worked with there was at least one of these.
They comment the hell out of your PR without giving valuable feedback.

They just want to code-shame you because you didn't write the code like they'd do it

[Bryan Liles @bryanl]

Are you familiar with the “tech filibuster”? It’s when a dude (it’s always a dude) argues a point and only proves their point by out lasting everyone else in the conversation. Doesn’t matter if they are right or wrong because they will be the last one standing and get their way.

[Nicholas Peretti @NicholasPeretti]

@ryanflorence I was thinking about the same thing last week.

Almost every single line of code you write will be replaced by new ones within 6 months.

Besides e2e testing, what are your advices on creating disposable code? And how do you apply them in @remix_run ?

[Nicholas Peretti @NicholasPeretti]

@devongovett @sebmarkbage I think a static rendered page could be a great tradeoff.

I'm talking about an HTML document with some minimal style applied in order to render a loading state of sort.

You just build it once, and you have all the benefits of SSR without the infrastructure cost

[Nicholas Peretti @NicholasPeretti]

@cassiecodes developer to developer: where did you learn to design things so well?

I'm really impressed from your website.
Both performance and design wise.

Do you have any suggestion for a developer who would like to create better looking websites?

[Cassie Evans @cassiecodes]

I've had so many recently.

Please stop making me type out 'Thanks for the kind words but I'm actually a developer'.

It makes me feel weird. I'm not a fan.

[Nicholas Peretti @NicholasPeretti]

@chriscoyier this is something that's really missing on mobile web.

It could also improve Desktop experience and give a more "native" feel on PWA.

Still Hoping for Better Native Page Transitions https://t.co/bsw9U25RUX

[Nicholas Peretti @NicholasPeretti]

This is a very needed interview.

I am the first one that got this things wrong. I've never had advices like these.

Thanks @DasSurma and @jaffathecake. I promise I'll do better next time!

From the title I was expecting a rich text editor solution.

Imagine my surprise reading about a transparent textarea hovered to the highlighted code.

I would have never thought about that. Really brilliant article by @css

So much to learn in this article by @bibydigital on CSS performance.

Such an overlooked topic.
The web could be a lot faster only by loading CSS correctly.

No wonder @calibreapp website is smoking fast!

[Nicholas Peretti @NicholasPeretti]

It's amazing how much CSS and image optimisation can help.

It's definitely a great investment to focus on these areas when you want to improve performance, even before jumping into any Javascript.

Can wait to read the rest of @jaffathecake's series

[Jake Archibald @jaffathecake]

📝 Who has the fastest F1 website in 2021? In this series of articles I'm going to show how to analyse performance, and how to fix the issues.

First up, it's the Alpha Tauri team, and their performance issues aren't JavaScript related…

[Nicholas Peretti @NicholasPeretti]

What a subtle behaviour – I wasn't aware of it.

This is the kind of thing that can ruin the whole user experience and lead to sneaky bugs.

I'm glad I read this, thanks @kentcdodds

[Nicholas Peretti @NicholasPeretti]

@stefanjudis Didn't know this method existed, but I wonder: how would you use it?

I personally don't find it very readable and I can't think to a real world use-case where this would come in handy 🤔

[Nicholas Peretti @NicholasPeretti]

Finally!
@nodejs now supports top-level await 🎉

Was I the only one waiting for this?

https://t.co/hRJ7nOR7LE

[Nicholas Peretti @NicholasPeretti]

@sarah_edo many thanks for this article!

It's actually a very overlooked problem IMHO and it's nice to see someone raising awareness and giving advice on the matter.

[Sarah Drasner @sarah_edo]

📍At each company I've worked, there's been a split between Product and Engineering time.

As an Engineering Manager, this can be challenging. I wrote up an article about some considerations in this process!

https://t.co/zUXHXnj9kC

[Nicholas Peretti @NicholasPeretti]

I had no idea I could do this kind of things within SVG!

@cassiecodes your website blown me away 🤯
It's a pleasure to use.
Definitely going on my bookmarks 😍

[Cassie Evans @cassiecodes]

✨ Hey gang!

I shared a site with a swooshy image grid a while back and a few people asked for a blog post.

Apparently I'm incapable of *just blogging* and have to have animations and interactive demos so it took a little while.

[Chris Coyier @chriscoyier]

I tried to answer a question I got from an industry beginner... "What's up with hosting?"

I don't blame anyone for being confused. It's confusing!

My suggestion: Try to find the HAPPY PATH.

Github1s is really nice.
Just add "1s" after "github" when viewing code on https://t.co/0Wbx80muQp and VS Code loads up instantly:
