Messed around with some fun HTML colour values. “sonic” outputs blue.

A pomegranate fruit growing on the shrub.
A red leaf sitting on top of a pile of woodchips.
A screw with tiny plants and moss growing around it.
Always gets a laugh from me.
Genuine exchange I just had:
Person: It’s broken on mobile.
Me: Do you have a Samsung by chance?
Person: Yes, I have
Me: Do you use Samsung Internet?
Person: I’m not sure what that is. I use the default browser.
Me: I shall refrain from using the selection of words I’d like to.
Seriously, how is Samsung Internet still this much of a clusterfuck?
I pretty much exclusively browse CodePen on Chrome, despite Firefox being my primary browser.
Mozilla, you need to catch up.
Honestly pretty disappointed we haven’t gotten an Ask Jeeves AI.
A mark was missed.
Everyone else listens for their fan to spin down so they know their code has finished compiling from halfway across the room, yeah?

One great use of LLMs I’ve found is as dynamic WordPress documentation generators.
WordPress is really poorly documented. Especially block themes, which are a mess in more ways than just documentation.
People who have a minimap in their editor, why?
I had one briefly back in the Atom days, but it was never all that useful. I’ve found having breadcrumbs at the top of my editor fills every minimap use case I can imagine.
Interested to hear how people use them and if I’m perhaps missing something.
This is a quote from Gian-Carlo Rota’s Indiscrete Thoughts that I think applies particularly well in the context of development:
Richard Feynman was fond of giving the following advice on how to be a genius. You have to keep a dozen of your favorite problems constantly present in your mind, although by and large they will lay in a dormant state. Every time you hear or read a new trick or a new result, test it against each of your twelve problems to see whether it helps. Every once in a while there will be a hit, and people will say: “How did he do it? He must be a genius!”
Finally got around to setting up my ‘/uses’ page.
If, for whatever reason, you’re interested in seeing some of the tech and stuff I use, feel free to check it out.
