@YourAnonNews I love the fact that they think she was given answers. I mean… how else could she have possibly known that questions about abortion, healthcare, or foreign policy would come up?!

[Matt Burgess @mattaugamer]

I know what they were going for, but this labelling still amused me.

@BartonBella1 @CraigJetMetFan @DebbyBurns8 @flying_bobby @GVergenvrac @AgentSelf99B @CatoInstitute Are those things critical constitutional rights?

The Frighteners is a sequel to The Sixth Sense. Michel J Fox plays Cole as an adult. This is simply a fact.

@EmJaeCaer Just the month. Just to mess with us.

[Matt Burgess @mattaugamer]

There may come a day when I remember that the Date constructor for JavaScript takes the month argument as a zero index, so that new Date(2023, 11, 15) is October, not November. But it clearly won’t be today.

@mschmidt74 @jeffrey_way You won’t have to imagine. Just wait three months.

@Charalanahzard “This thing kinda looks like that thing” is a staple of worst possible takes.

@cherthedev It’s surprising how many bugs and usability issues are caused by people just trying to block, override or reimplement basic browser behaviour. ESPECIALLY in forms.

[Matt Burgess @mattaugamer]

@ParasocialFix @trumbitta @liveviewjs Not to mention knowing where to put components. Knowing where to put services, or how to resolve them. Communities like Reddit are littered with "where do I put my React... whatever", or proposing directory structures and architectures. It's wasted effort.

[Matt Burgess @mattaugamer]

@ParasocialFix @trumbitta @liveviewjs It's not arbitrary. It's things like generators. Being able to do something like `ember g route users` and have it spin up a route boilerplate, add it to the router, create tests and templates. Or running `ng generate component approve-button` and having the boilerplate, etc.

@trumbitta Meta-frameworks are currently encouraging developers towards features and architecture available in Ember and Angular since 2018. Fight me.

[Matt Burgess @mattaugamer]

@ParasocialFix @trumbitta Because they're not really that different. There's a type of developer experience to Angular (and Ember) that is not matched by React, Vue, Svelte, etc. Meta-frameworks give me hope it can get there, but it's not yet.

@FF2389 @Charalanahzard As long as she’s in the open and clearly visible, but then makes an effort to hide like 8 seconds too late. But no one sees her.

[Matt Burgess @mattaugamer]

@skpmd @Charalanahzard I need to keep them for later. I may need them more then.

@AllenWSnyder @chloebennet Just from Australia alone, Chris Hemsworth, Heath Ledger, Isla Fisher, Russell Crowe, Naomi Watts, Guy Pearce, and Margot Robbie all started on either Neighbours or Home and Away. There’s worse company to be in.

[Matt Burgess @mattaugamer]

So sick of hackerrank-style trick questions as part of an interview process. I've never done anything like this nonsense in 20+ years of my career. Why are you testing me on it?!

[Matt Burgess @mattaugamer]

@ZJemptv I don’t think hunk I ever have at all. Just to provide an additional data point.
