you know what makes entertaining reading right now? Randall Stross's "Steve Jobs and the NeXT Big Thing".
I mean, Stross had plenty of reason to be kind of dismissive of Jobs at his low point in 1993, but, man, some of these criticisms do not stand up well 27 years later. 1/N

Mine was a Zelda fansite called "Hey, Ocarina!" (to the tune of "Hey, Macarena!"), meticulously designed in Microsoft Creative Writer 2.
does anyone else sometimes think of re-creating the first website they made as a teen, but with their current design sensibilities? or just me??

Imagine a world where you can use components from React, Vue, Svelte, Stimulus, fill-in-the-blank—all at the same time on the same web page.
That's what Web Components will do for you.
Maybe that's not actually possible today. But hopefully soon. Personally, I can’t wait.

All my UK folks are like “London is expensive move to <xyz> place in the UK instead”.
Y’all, I love you. But the point wasn’t to come eats beans on toast in a rainy 1000 year old village.
The point is to be in smelly smoggy London. Dear London. Not “near London” ;)
Tell me why it is a bad idea to run away to London and get a masters degree in financial journalism in 2021.
Point of information: I would spend less on health care there...
