“i do suck at this which is why i use AI” then you will never learn, you will never improve, you will only be dependent on wildly wasteful illusions to produce mediocrity at best

how do i test assistive tech on web apps without buying anything

it's not so much that i think programmers are very special geniuses but that they have their hands on some of the most impactful levers of a digitized world and they just don't fucking know it

"i'm not a luddite" motherfucker the luddites threw their bodies on the gears of capitalism almost literally, because bosses were using efficiency as a weapon against workers. bro that's exactly what bosses use your software for, wake the fuck up and use your skills as dangerously as you can.

i could really go for floating in the void between worlds for a couple billion years. sounds relaxing. no rent

make what you want to exist

alien captain: mcmahon observes with interest

alien number one, skeptical: squidward looking on, looking down

alien captain, insisting: squidward looking on, missing out

picard, vaguely aware of 21c memetics: surprised pikachu?

lmao death to america

so that templating library i mentioned working on? it has 100% test coverage now, a (mostly) comprehensive property test, AND it minifies to 976 bytes. fuck jsx, this is my house

hey! i just published `html-alchemist`, an HTML templating library that can replace JSX. and it's tiny! 859 bytes, minified, before compression.

it's based on clojure's reagent library, which wraps react. html-alchemist is intended to pair with webcomponents, for a very sleek stack

check it out!

https://www.npmjs.com/package/html-alchemist

i’ll release it as a package this evening and do a boosty boosty if you know what i mean. i mean a post about it which you, optionally, can boost if you too hate jsx

anybody got a good webcomponents tutorial that will save me from using react?

witch calendar passes tests

witch calendar handles dates between 1000 CE and 3000 CE, after which point you need to tweak the underlying math to account for planetary drift, and before which point my astronomy dependency has a bizarre bug

i fucking love property testing. it slaps to be like "hey can you test all possible dates across two thousand years, in like, fifty milliseconds?" and a very smart algo is like "no sweat boss"

you may be surprised to find there is also no ethical employment under capitalism

calendar in which:

- seasons are the exact period between solstices and equinoxes
- years are four seasons
- weeks are lunar phases
- months are whole lunar cycles
- days are dawn to dusk to dawn
- fuck timezones

by using physical phenomena, leap-seconds are never necessary. but to know what time it is, a machine must know the position of the planets

i critiqued bsky to a friend and they replied, “yeah but fedi kinda sucks” as if i had any intention of refuting that

i’m a universal hater
