🗣️ My talk "Decluttering Sentry - One Knip at a Time" from @react-prague.bsky.social is now available on YouTube

✂️ This is a real-life story (with ups and downs) about how we used knip by @webpro.nl at @sentry.io to delete 20k lines of unused code and now run it in CI so it never happens again 🎉

The mayor is doing the fascists job for them by curtailing our first amendment right to protest

nobody likes the person at the party that only says “cool party, right?” but the person saying “wow this party sucks” is somehow even worse

highly recommend just existing and not analyzing to optimize everything all the time. go feel the sun on your face.

Thanks for the great newsletter! It really is one of the few that I consistently look forward to 💜

If there’s any silver lining to hateful people being emboldened by the current state of the world, it’s that the importance of supporting peers who share your values has never been more obvious.

May their toxicity become our fuel for positive change ✌️

Highly recommend Go Make Things from @cferdinandi.bsky.social. It’s one of my favorite newsletters—always packed full of solid, practical web development advice. But some of my favorites are general musings on living an authentic life, like today’s on ADHD Pride. gomakethings.com/adhd-pride/

moderation policies exist as much for maintaining the mental health of the mods as for policing the behavior of users, and of those two problems you'll never guess which is most likely to destroy a platform

They’re also pretty jumpy about this exact scenario after experiencing the same rugpull with countless other startups over the past two decades!

The thing about positioning your brand as a more ethical alternative to your mainstream competitor is that the core audience you’ll attract are the exact kind of people who will hold your feet to the fire if you ever try to move the goalposts, even via inaction. You don’t get it both ways.

modern css is amazing

I’m learning about all kinds of cool new deployment platforms this week

We all have a choice.

The Internet is ours.

`@bluwy/giget-core` is now back to a small 90kB install size thanks to @ayuhito.com's `modern-tar` package! Perf is also slightly faster.

Are we at the start of a new era?

Chrome 140 introduced CSS Typed Arithmetic. It might seem like a minor change, but I believe it's huge as it opens the door to countless new possibilities and a whole new era of Computational CSS.

Can't help but notice that the media breathlessly reporting on the messages that shooters write on their bullets seems to have been followed by a surge of shooters writing messages on bullets

The way the NYT covers this, while they helped to create a similar moral panic that preceded Skrmetti, might be the thing that drives me mad.

Autism is a natural divergence from neurotypicality. It's normal & not the tragedy these clowns are making it out to be.

Transness is a natural divergence from cisnormativity. It's normal & not the tragedy these clowns are making it out to be.

Just deal with people being different than you.

These are extremely solid! Great list of general purpose best practices for designing UI.

Well, yes, that’s what authoritarians pretty much always do - declare an Outsider to focus the forces of the State upon.
