Tributes have been coming in for the man who fell and died atop his own bonfire. Sounds like he was a good guy.

@simonw I feel like these need to be plotted on a quadrant plane graph with axis running Good Pelican to Bad Pelican and Good Bike to Bad Bike

WordPress: you don't contribute, you just take

Also WordPress: We're taking extraordinary measures by usurping your plugin with 2 million active installs because a security flaw we won't let you fix is a major widespread issue

They can't both be true.

@seldo The major failing here is assuming all employees are the same. When a business treats the workers as a uniform resource unit rather than individuals, it’s clear there is no genuine interest in wellbeing and a very naive understanding of what long term productivity looks like.

@WarriorZoltar As a man who also suffers from depression and keeps his own room, I really identify with your husband’s situation and am thankful for such an understanding and supportive partner as you also clearly are. Ignore the haters.

Not sure what’s happened to quality control at @YorkshireTea but the number of split tea bags ruining a brew is getting out of hand.

@matthewcp @seaotta Backward compatibility is tough! Went through a lot of these decisions with Perch CMS over time. I wonder if there’s a reason in this case not to have the object’s toString method return the src value? Seems like that’s what you’d want in a template scenario.

@brad_frost Workday.

@SophieEB sorry, but I have to ask. Was there any closure who took your tuktuk? It’s something I think about often 😅

@christianbian @SurePetcare Did you make any progress hacking your cat flap?

I’m looking for an iOS app that would allow a user to apply custom-designed templates (e.g. borders, logo) to a photo for making a branded social media post. Any suggestions?

[Drew McLellan @drewm]

Had one of those dreams where @iainlee turns up and introduces himself as @richardpbacon and you know it’s not right but it’s the same ballpark so you just go along with it.

@naomigo @phpsw Thanks for giving us your time, I really enjoyed your presentation. Are you slides available anywhere? (If not, I'd obvs recommend https://t.co/iSNIhIxqip)

[Drew McLellan @drewm]

At my first post-pandemic tech meetup. Listening to @naomigo imparting invaluable wisdom on TDD to @phpsw

@harryhill Just saw Blair! In Bath and I’ve not laughed so much in ages. Amazing job by the cast, crew, musicians, producers and writers. Thank you. 😆

📝 The case against self-closing tags in HTML

At best, they're a relic from the past, and at worst, they're actively misleading.

@davatron5000 I’m not sure if it’s the clumps around your ear or the hair on your glasses that’s sending me. 💀💀💀
