This is from @skrug 's book Don't Make Me Think.
I've recommended that book to basically everyone I've interacted with over the past 6 months. #UX #DontMakeMeThink

What's the one thing you'd prioritise if you could fundamentally change web development in 2025?

[b🦋sky: @mapgie.co.uk @mapgiedev]

What are your favourite things about front-end web design / development in 2025?

I would love to hear some positivity.

Trains being repeatedly too full to board isn't an acceptable service level.

Hey @SW_Help - any chance you can get your act together and provide enough coaches on the trains to Waterloo?

"This train is very busy" doesn't cut it. Every Thursday there's announcements of "no idea why there's only 8 carriages today, there were 12 yesterday".

@tomwhoscontrary How come?

Engineering folks, my baby was given this frog that lights up in the bath, but it very quickly stopped lighting up.

I want to dissect it with an aim recover it. My primary thought is to slip an art knife between the white disk and the rubber. Any advisories before I proceed?

@VicVijayakumar Sadly, many people are free-riders or believe that their agency in one context allows them to switch off in another.

Iin other words, good engineers can still be bad partners.

Being unable to sleep is actually great because it gives me the chance to think about that time I told Mads Torgersen that I thought C# should have an 'unless' statement (like Perl/Ruby), and now I can cringe myself into oblivion.

@david_whitney I was going to reply to this yesterday but like a dumbass I thought I'd wait for the other 9 tweets first.

1/10 astuteness.

I enjoy working with Blazor but sometimes it feels like playing with Lego Duplo.

Do you ever mentally resist putting in a breakpoint you need to put in? 👀

What the actual fuck is the 'woke era'?

Noxious tech bro shit everywhere, saying the quiet part out loud.

@lovelacecoding I blame you know who 👀
The butterfly place seems better at giving me the tech content.

@sebwilgosz @RhysSullivan Bonus tip: in the winter months, if you can afford it, have the heating scheduled to come on before you wake up so you're not leaving a warm bed to go into a freezing room.

[b🦋sky: @mapgie.co.uk @mapgiedev]

@sebwilgosz @RhysSullivan There's no alarm sound I can't sleep through.

Tips that help me instead:
Alarms that vibrate (phone, watch, for the hard of hearing)
I actually used a radio program as an alarm because the presenter bothers me enough to wake me up. Fails when he's on holiday tho.

@VicVijayakumar @todpunk Ok, school clothes generally then, maybe. They burn through them like mad.
