Today on Trans Day of Visiblity I’m thankful to folks living their lives in an unapologetically authentic way — truly showing us what freedom can look like when we discard the baggage society has imposed on all of us. Love y’all.

We understand that this is an extension of “do your own research” mentality, right? Access to information has convinced us that everyone is now a generalist and by extension that all generalists can be specialists (without scrutiny or peer review)

If you have zero education, but learn how to ask AI models the right questions , in many jobs you will be able to outperform someone with an advanced degree, but who is unwilling to use Large Language Models.

Just takes a smartphone, curiosity to experiment and a mindset to learn.

Why does socket.dev report that the latest version of next.js has a malware dependency? https://socket.dev/npm/package/next/alerts/15.2.3?tab=dependencies

“Malicious code in gen-mapping (npm) Any computer that has this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised.”

Update: looks like this is a pretty big flaw in the vulnerability scanner — not in next (check the replies for more info)

Screenshot of socket.dev report has the following alert: Known malware: This package is malware. We have asked the package registry to remove it. Found 1 instance in 1 package

this winter storm is making the power go out every ten minutes — my external monitor is on battery backup and my internet connection automatically swaps to my phone hotspot — unfortunately even in the middle of nowhere I can seamlessly continue working weeeeeee

Consider `accent-color` (Not Baseline) vs. CSS Nesting (Baseline 2023).

Browser compatibility is only a small piece: it’s more important to consider the role it plays and how progressive-enhancement friendly it is.

CSS Nesting requires cross-browser ubiquity: `accent-color` is much safer!

Let’s talk about why Baseline browser compatibility doesn’t tell a complete story about whether or not a feature can be used “safely” by developers.

Consider `accent-color` (Not Baseline) versus CSS Nesting (Baseline 2023).

Browser compatibility is only a small piece: it’s far more important to consider the role the feature plays and how progressive-enhancement friendly that feature is.

CSS Nesting requires cross-browser ubiquity before use: `accent-color` is much safer, comparatively!
