Even after you've put in the work and you hit that milestone people will not cheer for you. They won't care until they see you gain the asset or reach that stardom.

Something that always astonishes me is how people will help you spend money or give you suggestions on how to spend your money but not how to make it.

Most developers reach for setInterval to animate. It's like checking your watch every second to guess when the sun will rise.

The browser already knows. Use requestAnimationFrame.

Are you guessing or are you measuring?

@jcudmore This is the cotr time keeper in @threejs Devs forget that not only does it keep time it also adjusts to the browser’s refresh rate.

I wish more devs would stop animations when the user goes to another browser tab.

@DangerousThinkg I tell people there is no such thing as a temporary band-aid fix. It is all permanent. It is easier to add than subtract.

We need normalize suing real estate agents and agencies for false advertising. They manipulate photos of external environments creating false sense of perception about properties. Image show a sunny green landscape you, then you see it on the maps and its just dirt.

Designers build type systems in pixels. Devs implement in rem. The math breaks. The rhythm dies.

The fix: design in relative units from day one. Base 16px, choose your ratio, export tokens that scale.

It is wild to me how apps will start removing features and reintroducing them as a paid feature. Things that used to be free now you have to pay for. That is wild.

@CoxHelp I sent a DM but have gotten no response.

[Rafael Hernández @rafaelh_com]

@CoxComm why do you not allow for your customers to use port forwarding? The app says it is disabled, your support team says it can not be enabled. These are features customers should be able to access. We are already paying monthly for your router which we can't fully access.

[Rafael Hernández @rafaelh_com]

@CoxHelp It is a risk for inexperienced users.

CSS counters generate nested numbering (1.2.3) without JavaScript. Declarative over imperative. Less code, more capability.

Are you still writing loops for what CSS already does? #CSS #FrontEndDevelopment

Who modified the algorithm at YouTube? Now all I'm seeing is Too Turnt Tony video recommendations. He already had his shining moment, YouTube.

I think it's time to go Hybrid with AI. Although, I enjoy the ease of using GPTs through the web and by sending requests to LLMs I think a simple model locally could offset the cost in the future.

@RealProductGirl The community is becoming SPAM central. I'd like to dedicate a few hours a day to monitor spam posts.

@ryanels If it wasn't meant to be why would Microsoft introduce more functionality for JSON support?
