Die!
  • Well, now you know to look, which is always a good thing. Lots of new good stuff to check out in css and html - look up Baseline 2022 (and beyond) to familiarize yourself with the new goodies.

  • Die!
  • I’m the lead UI developer for one of Europe’s biggest fintech firms, and we’re up from #4 back before I got there (many factors in that, so okay, but the UI update added to our success). I’m reviewing quite a few CVs lately looking for Angular FE devs and honestly, an attitude like that won’t even get you in the first round.

    This discussion started because I said many FE devs don’t develop with HTML in mind - it’s all divs and js. Or they rely heavily upon a framework to do that for them. I just passed on someone in the third round because I asked for a lightweight modal with esc exit, background and focus, and they wheeled out this whole system using prime ng and p-modals, where just using the <dialog> element would have worked.

    To be fair, they also argued that using their method would have been faster and more consistent. That’s a person who relies on toolkits instead of understanding that their existing tools have depth.

    May I suggest, don’t be that guy. But in 3 years I retire to an island to never have these arguments again, so what do I care? Don’t listen to anyone else - be my guest.

    Just to change the vibe.

  • Sovcit is sooooo close..
  • From where? You didn’t fund enough to have a fire department. And since you’re so clever as to not pay for support services, wait to you see the cost of your exceptional insurance..

    Folks, we either have a sovcit who discovered this group or an anarchist-type just stirring up shit.

  • Sovcit is sooooo close..
  • Not a sovcit, but they do have a point in saying "fuck you" to the authority.

    No they don’t. Fighting “authority” for the sake of it stupid and meaningless because it’s so vague it’s dangerous. You fight the injustice or the lack of transparency, but what you prescribe as “authority” could be anything from schools that educate to laws that protect to support of groups you don’t belong to.

    If you said “Authoritarianism”, you’d have a point.

    Mac Teams users - Are you having trouble logging in?

    It's not by choice I have to use Teams, but by corporate edict, but currently there's definitely something happening with Teams, 2002 errors, hidden files or crosslinks and crashes. It's driving many of us hopping mad for weeks:

    https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/msteams/forum/all/microsoft-teams-something-went-wrong-2002-error/d6ff0a12-6540-41c4-8683-9cb68f001cbb

    Anyone else having problems? I posted a temporary solution in the MS thread, but maybe someone knows a fix? Or perhaps we can give this a bit of notoriety so MS will do something about it!

    Elon Musk won’t fight Mark Zuckerberg in a ‘cage match’ – because he knows he’d lose
    www.theguardian.com Elon Musk won’t fight Mark Zuckerberg – because he knows he will lose | Hamilton Nolan

    America’s richest and most cowardly man, Musk, proposed an idiotic cage-match, then came up with every excuse not to actually do it

    Elon Musk won’t fight Mark Zuckerberg – because he knows he will lose | Hamilton Nolan

    It's a very good takedown of Muskrat. Fun quote:

    "Fights can reveal a person’s character. That would be Musk’s worst fear. As frivolous as all of this jawing has been, it is very much in keeping with a lifetime of acting like a selfish brat and getting away with it... Scientists could not design a man more likely to get whipped in a fair fight."

    Can I post on Mastodon with a Lemmy account?

    Still figuring out the fediverse, but I know that Mastodon users can (in an oblique way) post to Lemmy. Is there a way to have a Lemmy account and post to a Mastodon instance/section/thingie?

    I wanted to respond to something on https://front-end.social/local but I'm trying to avoid creating more social media accounts I won't use.

    Thanks!
