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.

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 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.

Mozilla argues otherwise: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Learn/HTML/Introduction_to_HTML

Most people define HTML based on the original acronym, but the current HTML5 iteration is much more than many devs realize.

When understanding isn’t enough…just ”over stand”.

Already done. Thanks Miyoo!

I bet they’re using it to train.

Only if you wear cleats while biking.

Maybe.

VW really seemed to want to clean house with that. I’ve an ID.3 1st and honestly it’s possibly the best car I’ve ever owned (and I’ve had VWs, BMW, Alfa, Ford, International Harvester (I’m old) and that EV is really great for the money.

It’s also £2900 - and as usual, buried the lede.

Okay. “Wutever”.

 

I fully intended to do something here, creating the group, but I got sick and haven’t been able to do anything much. If you want it, message me.

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:

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!

 

Might be shouting into the void, but do any brands support Android Auto or CarPlay?

If this isn’t the correct c/, would you please point me in the c/orrect direction? Thanks

 

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."

 

Quite a report…

 

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!

 

...this is a hot dog, but you might have been able to fix it if you offered any method to respond to mistakes in your articles.

They think they also know what a biscuit is, but again - wrong.
