It’s been a very hard year - Andy Bell
Unlike a lot of places in tech, my company, Set Studio/Piccalilli has no outside funding. Bootstrapped is what the LinkedIn people say, I think. It’s been a hard year this year. A very hard year...

I can't stress enough how important it is to make an example here. Take all the money from these companies. Find alternatives.
Vote with your pockets because fundamentally money and power is everything to these insufferable pricks.

🚨Survey on the boat excursion zone. Please fill it out. Some boaters have been upset & threatened to disrupt Hanlans beach (speed camera vigilantes but on water). We need more fortified & larger swim zones like in the EU w ropes/floats to keep boats & jet skis away from swimmers. 🚨

#CSS question: Given two items in a flex container, is there a way to have a vertical border (border-inline-end) between the items when the items are adjacent in a row, and a horizontal border (border-block-end) when the items are stacked in a column?

I built a site for #BrockYardRevival campaign; effort to fundraise for a new yard for Brock PS in Toronto. The kids greatly need a revamp: the current yard has no play structure for kids older than 6, has massive drainage issues and is surfaced with cedar mulch.
