"I'll have some time to work on my little side project that I started last year between Christmas and New Year's Eve." Sometimes I surprise myself with my own idiocy. Because that's never how it works.

New project! We built an A.I. bot that mercilessly judges your taste in music on Spotify. See how your data stacks up against millions of indicators of objectively good music, including Pitchfork reviews and record store recommendations pudding.cool/2020/12/judge-…

Oh, fuck off, Apple.
So… should I restart my newsletter on Substack?

Why do I wake up to a timeline filled with carps? Is that how Tinder looks for women?

This is not going to end well.

I put a new battery into my "couch macbook" (yes, I know) and now I'm typing on it and it is such a joy. The new keyboards, even the revised version, just don't come close.

Restaurants that call their servers “partners” are toxic

What the hell. youtu.be/_eGiSclwlZk
A local restaurant is using @leaf_token as their delivery order shop system and it's honestly the worst food ordering experience I've ever come across. Sending a fax would be better. Good grief.
The absurdity of frontend builds never fails to amaze me. I just downloaded 67730 files just so that my coworkers can show and hide a couple of form fields.
If you look around and don't have that friend, chances are you are that friend. twitter.com/dril/status/13…

ok I’m really curious - how do you write? (also no wiseass keyboard gifs, ya jags) https://t.co/BPwL1NFted
Honestly - the web would be a better place if all programmers had to learn that, too. (And the fundamentals of software development but maybe that's a step too far.) twitter.com/tranhelen/stat…
all designers must learn fundamental visual design space, typography, colour theory, basic art direction, rhythm and balance, grids (not dev grids, design grids), etc. this is a hill i'm willing to die on

lol nope twitter.com/nickbulljs/sta…
If tomorrow you'll get $5,000,000. Will you be working as a programmer after? I’m curious. Reply below.
So much to unpack.

It's so going to be the same over here in Europe with Christmas. twitter.com/lenubienne/sta…
Every new COVID-positive patient I have spoken with today spent time with friends and family on Thanksgiving, or traveled in the last 10 days. Every. Single. One. The cluster is coming from inside the house.
I think having watched this talk (which seems to be gone now) might have raised my expectations for other pre-recorded virtual conference talks a bit too high. twitter.com/jessiechar/sta…
I gave a virtual talk for @usetito last month about the current struggles of conference organizers. I wrote and produced it in 24 hours. I didn't just want to sit and talk in front of my computer, soooo... (just watch it) vito.community/gallery/events…
I really like the new Symfony approach to JavaScript frontends: "based on standard HTML and can be progressively adopted in existing applications" twitter.com/symfony/status…
