It feels like the internet‘s cooked us into presenting every position in the strongest moral terms and responding to every disagreement as an all-out attack that must be annihilated before it destroys everything and it seems not great

Ok sure the new Taylor Swift album is out but so is the 20th anniversary edition of Chemistry by Girls Aloud (the one with Biology which is one of the greatest pop songs ever made don't @ me)

If you're at @nordicjs.com I'll shortly be making a room full of people question my coding skills as I try and recreate a website without being able to look at a browser...
The main stage at Nordic.JS. A row of people sit at a long table at computers (I'm not among them yet) and the screen says "CODE IN THE DARK sponsored by confetti"

The amazing Ulrike Rausch from @liebefonts.bsky.social showed us how ’90s WordArt nostalgia can shine with modern font tech. #NordicJS #NordicJS2025

I am having a BLAST watching @liebefonts.bsky.social demo WordArt-inspired color fonts she's created @nordicjs.com

Taking psychic damage from descriptions of major version upgrades courtesy of @majapw.bsky.social @ @nordicjs.com
Maja stands in front of a slide saying "1 XX library has released a new version. 2 You have to rewrite everything. 3 There's no extra headcount. 4 Feature development can't stop." Maja stands in front of another slide saying "What do you do? 1 Do nothing at all! (Greyed out) 2 Wite an eslint rule. (Greyed out) 3 Wite an RFC, get leadership buy in, staff a tactical tigerteam, and spend six months getting it done. (Crossed out) 4 Ask the Al. (Greyed out) 5 Write a code modification script or a codemod."

Ok but for real the 5 min @nordicjs.com bird-themed lightning talk by @ninnivictoria.bsky.social was an absolute highlight 🐦
Victoria stands on a stage in front of a slide with a bird on it that says "feat(life): add birds, improve wellbeing" and "I'll can you the life of a showbirdgirl later to help you get started today"

Yes yes YES THIS. The best thing a web dev can do is put the frameworks down sometime and learn how it really works. @una.im @ @nordicjs.com
Una presents a slide that says "the best way to level up your web development skill set is to get good at CSS and HTML"

Conference badges but make them pretty @nordicjs.com
A pink and yellow Nordic.JS speaker badge on a lanyard. The badge has my name on it and I've written my website addresses Sophie.omg.lol and localghost.dev underneath, covered the badge in star stickers and glitter and hearts
