Web Development. UX. Jaffa Cakes.

[Chris Day @chrisdaaaaay]

In the web industry Twitterverse I see a lot of people making silly rules, such as; “you can’t be a full stack developer” or “designers shouldn’t code”.

In reality. Everyone is unique, and with the right attitude we can effectively apply whatever set of skills we wish to learn.

@elonmusk Macron’s wave is completely different to your salute… You knew what you were doing, and you’re getting exactly the reaction you hoped for.

Engagement at all costs 😔

Is there such a thing as harmony between designers & developers in the workplace, and if so, how can it be achieved?🌟🤝

@biz4biz Because it’s biased and probably fake? Anything with “project fear” propaganda on it isn’t going to be impartial.

@selufen Yo!

Please can you allow us to opt out of this backdoor please ⁦⁦⁦@LinkedIn⁩ or better yet remove the “feature” entirely? 🥸

@adamsilverhq Special mention to Material Design for managing to do all 4 of these at the same time 😂

@KevinJPowell Pseudo elements, so many people I know still add empty <div>s everywhere when they could use them.

@shaun_gomm @BreezeRachel Great to hear everyone learned their lesson from Horizon 😂 it’s the same in commercial clients only with less transparency on scoring. Procurement is one of the main reasons the general quality of UX on the web remains so poor overall 😔

@adamsilverhq Same happened with Flash. Everyone side-stepping the browser and standards… we need Apple to save the day by blocking react.js in Safari 😅

Hello , I’ve written another letter to @antanddec about the ongoing appalling abuse of animals on @ITV programme @imacelebrity . I’ve tried to be polite but my patience has run thin . If you agree with what it says please RT . #ImACeleb

@JoshWComeau Great read 👍 Nice to stumble across a balanced view on AI on X amidst all of the “INSANE 🤯”s and RIPs.

[Chris Day @chrisdaaaaay]

You’re a great developer if:

- You focus on the goal and use whatever technology you like to achieve it.

- Your code is easy to read.

- You protect people’s data.

- You don’t allow silly lists on X to define whether or not you’re a great developer… including this one!

Reply-bait.

I hope one day we all have the sense to not bite, and just scroll past nonsense like this…

This post included 😞

Maybe controversial, but there’s no reason to ever only use vanilla JavaScript…right?

Whichever framework you choose, it gives you so much that I just can’t see building anything real with vanilla JS…

[Chris Day @chrisdaaaaay]

@GoWokeGoBrokeUK Does freedom of expression also apply to TV channels who want to part ways with arseholes that say ridiculously stupid and hateful bs on their platform?

[Chris Day @chrisdaaaaay]

@mjackson I’m fine with transpile given that JS is not machine code, nor is it low-level. It’s an interpreted language so the word compile doesn’t really make sense… but meh, use them interchangeably… who cares? Bit like DI versus IoC. Cant really issue a product recall on terminology 😂

[Chris Day @chrisdaaaaay]

@shadcn Code isn’t the issue here surely it’s the colour contrast? White text on yellow 🙈

It's
6yrs since we started seeing mass proliferation of scam ads
5yrs since I sued Facebook.
4yrs since they settled (for £3m to charity).
4yrs since the online harms white paper (still not law)
18mth since they agreed to inc scams in it.
1 day since first deep fake scam ad I've seen

Yet we've still
NO proper laws
NO proper regulation
NO proper fines for big tech who get paid to publish these criminal ads
NO mention of when things will improve
NO sign of the promised online advertising programme to help

It isn't good enough. Vulnerable people are being scammed, lifes are being ruined, and people are totally unprotected.

@xirclebox Apparantely there’s a package to make tailwind html readable… but IMO if you need a package to make your code readable, it isn’t good code.
