Like all of you, I am mourning Charlie Kirk. He stood up for his beliefs and died for them at 31, wearing a T‑shirt that read "Freedom."

At 31, my life was taken from me for standing up for what I believed in. And Charlie helped me get it back. He never took credit for it but he played a BIG role in my freedom in many ways. Last year alone, when President Trump won the election, he asked Charlie what was the #1 thing he could do for him and Charlie replied: "Free Ross." And in the days leading to my release, Charlie advocated for a full pardon. He did this and more without expectations of me.

I wish there was something I could do to help Charlie get his life back. But there isn't, and I'm heartbroken.

Charlie, I will always be grateful to you. Thank you for all you did for me and for our country. I pray for you and your beautiful family. Rest in peace.

If you wanna know how overengineering in web dev is going:

Yesterday someone asked me how I built my startup and I made up an extremely convoluted tech stack

While in fact it's built with just PHP and jQuery

At this point over 800 people have bookmarked the tweet

These are password rules I can understand.

SSR is the old new. Black is the new black.

[joel ⛈️ @joelhooks]

looks like fixing the SSR (because google absolutely does NOT index pages that load content via javascript) is starting to have tangible lift in daily traffic

I can't stand Tailwind's way of doing CSS.

Freenginx: Core Nginx developer announces fork

@johanbrichau I totally agree. I'll take `html`, or even `canvas`, over `aWACanvas` any day. What I don't want, and I guess this is a pet peeve of mine, is to read `aSeasideCanvas` in their place. Having found a couple of these spurred me to rant about it. 😅

"Naming Smalltalk method parameters", a short blog that I hope will get me blogging again after a long time of wanting to, but not writing (and thus not sharing) my thoughts. https://t.co/CtdQnS2lCk

[Esteban A. Maringolo @emaringolo]

@johanbrichau Boolean parameters are something else IMO, I don't have a strong opinion on `isWriteable` over `writeable` as a parameter name, but I prefer `writeable` over `isWriteable` as an instVar name.

[Esteban A. Maringolo @emaringolo]

@seaside_st @TorstenAstares I left a comment in his blog post explaining that with some examples. I hope it gets public once approved.

@campibara @sebastianconcpt @pharoproject @NorbertHartl @TorstenAstares @giolvani I could never find my way around GT, not to mention that it is extremely unresponsive. I tried it several times but ended giving up on it.

Everybody who uses command line database clients (mysql, psql, sqlite, sqlcl, ...) must check out this repo:

Seriously.

[Esteban A. Maringolo @emaringolo]

@dHeremans @johanbrichau My very same thought.
Rather than what is it I'd ask how it tastes.

[Esteban A. Maringolo @emaringolo]

It's been an amazing week at #Smalltalks2023, meeting friends, colleagues and customers; learning new things and what others are doing.
Thanks @fast_arg for the organization of this event, looking forward to attend next year!
