Wild - I am in the UK for a short while (I don't live here) and lost access to my Bluesky messages thanks to UK regulation
I would need to give information to a third party just to see DMs
... and this is why I always have my trusty VPN subscription. Had to turn it on *just to read my messages*

We’re having a Cambrian Explosion of code. People are able to create so much more than ever before
I’ve done it myself and see it with the open source I maintain
But I think the software industry is going to suffer

When I just started out developing I remember being so so so full of ideas that I was coding in my head and wished I could have done programming while commuting / on the bus. With eg a phone. But it was impossible, ofc.
Now it’s possible!! A massive change

I just realized that as I was moving things around. Have this for the shirt. I think this might be the closest I can get to readability and correct syntax

I'm glad I checked! I had ; in the wrong spot. Needs to be before } on a single line
But now I can't figure out if this is just wrong (I haven't run it)

What did people do before littering URLs with parameters?
1. They don’t care
2. They guessed
3. They looked at server logs
I prefer the “don’t care” option myself. The more I try to measure something the less fun it is.

My toxic trait is any time a shared URL has a tracking ID I change it
For example, youtube videos using the share button will have ?si=$ID appended to the URL
Whenever I share those links the $ID is either truncated, gibberish, or maybe I replace it with "lolfart" just to mess with the metrics

Very true, it's not 100% accurate that you can delete all of the parameters
I usually only see required parameters with applications that have logins. In general that wouldn't be something you'd want to share since it would probably be different for someone else

The URL will have a ? and then a bunch of stuff that looks like nonsense with key1=value1&key2=value2
You can delete everything after and including the ? and the link will still work fine. Everything else is just the website tracking who you are and where you came from
