I've gone from being awed by the advances of the internet and mobile devices and gaming, to the point it dictated my career choices, to dreading every single new way they try to rip us off and sabotage what we use on purpose.

💥 did a small drawing explaining the JS execution model including the event loop. I hope it’s helpful to folks. Debugging is always easier when the underlying implementations are understood.

ADHD pride
Yesterday, I received this unsolicited email from a basic white dude named Stephen…
Having your second identity on your home page be a “disorder” is cringe and not professional.
Maybe your therapist tells you to announce your “disability”, and maybe this is normal within your friend group, but outside of these two slivers of society, that was created in the last 10 years for some really bad reasons, others with many other life experiences see this use of ADHD as a cry for pity and/or a use of victimhood to excuse yourself from being a white male with lots of advantages and abilities.

Besides the effects on the tech industry, right now there are H-1B holders—people—who built a life in the US.
If they are traveling, they have 17 hours to get back to the US, or the life they built will be shattered and taken from them.
Can you imagine constantly living with this uncertainty?

Tip: When you're using anchor positioning, consider how scrolling or screen size might make your positioned element overflow, and then add a backup with `position-try`.

I've been working on modal components all summer, and I'm really excited to release the first piece of this: string select and label components in modals! You can finally put select menus in your bot's modals, and give more information with field descriptions!

I've been using a "follow-the-leader" pattern with CSS anchor positioning lately so I decided to write about it!
