  3. Probably the best reason to pack up We end up endorsing this conduct (Already paused ad spending, feel like it’s time to call it. You can also find me at mastodon.social/@j9t.) @GergelyOrosz/1587850101246070784
  4. So love that #divtober is limited to a single HTML element You probably already know why, but to maintain suspense, I’ll share some thoughts about this in the upcoming edition of “Upgrade Your HTML IV” (leanpub.com/upgrade-your-html-4) ;) @lynnandtonic/1574775248062332928
  5. ⚡️ How to Order CSS Selectors (updated): I synced this article again with the HTML spec, and edited it to read nicer.

  6. Developer in me: That’s super-interesting, tell me more Privacy-minded citizen in me: Are you kidding @dsiroker/1587415342896148480

  12. This is an awesome book, highly recommended for anyone engaging with other developers—there are few people who could give a picture as comprehensive as @codepo8 🙏 (My pleasure to help make it available as an ebook!) @codepo8/1585383416958451712

  21. It can be weird to surf the Web as a European developer When you see Google Fonts and other services hot-linked without *any* sense for what this means for user data and compliance Sure—different laws. But when attuned to data protection (GDPR), this starts to look reckless—no?
  22. “Authoring tools and markup generators must generate _____ documents.”
  23. When a service has a bug and the only way to report it Is to become a pay user so that you can contact Premium Support
  24. Yes, you can lose an arm and a leg with cloud computing But you can also serve 400,000 CDN requests on CloudFront and pay $0.01 (Always paid a cent but never checked on the number of requests 😬 Then, I probably, finally need to move away from shared hosting…)

  25. It’s important yet not trivial to set up experienced individual contributors for success, as different org levels require different approaches So I’m excited to read this also as a manager, as there’s more I think we can do to support @OReillyMedia/1579562860858191873
  26. 📝 Redo Websites Less Often (to Become a Better Developer): You want to redo websites, because the advantages are great. But—you also want to iterate, and constantly make improvements. On the usefulness of a bias for iteration. meiert.com/en/blog/redo-vs-iterate/

  32. We may want to celebrate the days AMP, Instant Articles, MIP, and Turbo Pages die (that list!) But really, we should loathe the days and fight back when anti-Web cruft like this launches @reckless/1580982593054707712
  33. Do I understand it correctly that @googlechrome doesn’t apply UTF-8 as a default encoding (e.g., with bare-bones HTML files opened locally)— and then asks to install an extension, to explicitly assign UTF-8 as the encoding? 😬 support.google.com/merchants/answer/6293594
  34. In HTML we’ve always had an issue of wrong use of elements (e.g., table layouts, divitis) But there’s another widespread issue, the *needless* use of elements There’s much advice on semantic markup—but is there enough about not using so much markup (“1 container is enough”)?
  35. Do you still use Sass? (Not trolling—just curious ;)
  36. Something else As developers we’re the only people who find it completely fine To escape characters we wouldn’t need to escape if we used the correct characters in the first place Like actual apostrophes @lonekorean/1579460078281056257
