@vrandecic Sorry, just saw this. What specific features are you looking for?

@seldo Sounds lovely.

(In Elm, the standard is comma-first, and I love it)

@wolfadex I think discussing pros/cons, tradeoffs, and alternatives is fine and reasonable. But the key is having a discussion, with the assumption that those involved are reasonable and seeking understanding/improvement.

A lot of the hot takes I've seen on Tailwind (for example) are just dunks with the goal of making utility CSS look dumb and labeling anyone who likes it as clearly a bad developer. It's just not constructive.

Also, there's zero reason to not write custom CSS selectors *and* use Tailwind. It's all CSS, it works together wonderfully.

Apparently my statement from a couple months ago is no longer correct. Mastodon now has plenty of takes about Tailwind.

Can't we have a platform where people just use the tools they enjoy, and don't worry about what other people are doing? Do we really have to be as heated here as on Twitter?

If you like Tailwind, great! So do I. It's lovely to work with.

If you don't like Tailwind, that's fine! Nobody's telling you to.

@LauraLangdon I stopped watching when Capaldi took over and currently doing a full rewatch, I'm excited to see what Capaldi is really like.

@khalidabuhakmeh @eleventy I used Gatsby when version 2 came out. It was fine at the time, but since then I have a better grasp on what I want a static site generator to do, and that's not it. I'd rather turn to something like 11ty or Astro at this point.

@seldo Is it possible they read the post more recently?

Playing D&D with my 7yo is a blast! Really enjoying how they get into the story and flow of the game, and rolling dice is always fun.

Less than two weeks left, we can make it! Let’s go 2023!

Saw this view across the Willamette River yesterday on a bike ride.

Looking across the Willamette River towards downtown Portland, Oregon, with the sun reflecting gently on the river while hidden behind a cloud.

@b When meeting someone I was going on a trip with, instead of clarifying that sometimes I can't remember faces, I said "I'm bad at people." Still want to hide in a deep dark hole for that one.

@alvar Discord's a good place to chat!

@alvar I’d be happy to chat, although I can’t take credit for this. The initiatives were already in motion when I joined the company.

@alvar we care at my job! We’ve got an a11y team to help teach other teams and manage our component library, and a lot of our efforts are open source.
