This content type is full of IndieWeb post types, which are all content types which allow me to take greater ownership of my own data. These are likely unrelated to my blog posts. You can find a better breakdown by actual post kind below:
The other day at work, in an online meeting, a fuckhead said the phrase âWell, itâs probably because sheâs a woman and she doesnât know what the hell sheâs talking aboutâ, referring to an external contractor.
Iâm not out, but I stopped the meeting and said âYou donât get to talk like that in front of me. Now, I have to call HR.â
There was laughter. To which I replied sternly, âIt is not funny. Do better.â
There was no laughter then.
I donât put up with that shit. Misogyny, any kind of trans- or queer- based phobia, racism. None. Thatâs how you ally - you speak up. You challenge the notion that these fuckers are in a safe place. You DO have power to create change. Be the voice for the voiceless.
Afterwards, two of the other attendees reached out to me to thank for my courage to stand up to one of the âcool kidsâ. I donât need thanks, I need people to be better.
BE BETTER.

If all the "you really don't need X" blogs (where X is commonly some technology like microservices, cloud, kubernetes...) changed their perspective to first person "*I* really don't need X", and wrote about their choices based on their own requirements, I'd enjoy reading that. But all too often, the "you really don't need X" posts just comes out as "you don't need a wheelchair, I've managed just fine without one"... and like yeah, me too, but perhaps people have different needs and requirements?
GraphQL is an incredible piece of technology that has captured a lot of mindshare since I first started slinging it in production in 2018. You wonât have to ...
It was 2022, and I knew that I had to make a change. Iâd been unhappy for months, avoiding difficult conversations and going with what society was telling to do. Why? Because it was easy and âŠ
Placement aside, I both laugh and shake (a bit) about how often I think about the future. That of this newsletter, of my role at my current job, of the...

Anyone knows what, if anything, thatâs holding back the Web Share Target API from Safari and Firefox? https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Manifest/share_target
I would love to be able to install a bookmark manager as a PWA and easily share to it.
Right now I would need to do quite some juggling with Apple Shortcuts to get a similar functionality
Maybe one of @jensimmons@front-end.social, @tomayac@toot.cafe, @paul@status.kinlan.me knows?
