There's nothing scarier than sending out a detailed design doc and then getting...

Nothing...

No feedback, no objections, no consensus, no signal.

IS IT TERRIBLE OR NOT?!

My current favorite interaction:

Me: This counter isn't updating, please fix it.

AI: Hmm, that's strange, no idea what's going on. Must be something with change detection, I'll just inject and call `markForCheck`.

I feel so seen.

Are there any good datasets or surveys about software development tools and their usage?

* What models are the most popular?
* What tools or interfaces are devs using?

I'm thinking something like but about AI trends and preferably focused on frontend web. Anything like that exist?

And like, I get that I don't *really* decide sometimes. Yeah, I do need to fill out manager feedback within some specified timespan dictated by others.

But I think the vibe is different, it's more demanding. Just say "Please provide manager feedback" and I won't feel so negative about it.

I have a real pet peeve for any notification which starts with "It's time to...".

* It's time to update your income.
* It's time to give manager feedback.
* It's time to fill out this survey.

I decide what I do and when, not your arbitrary timelines.

As a frequent reviewer of PRs, sometimes I feel like my job mostly boils down to asking "Is this accessible?" over and over again.

There's still a long road ahead, but we've come quite a ways in just these last few months.

At long last, my wife and I have BLOOPED THAT RINSE (aka we finished BLUE PRINCE).

The game is massive and tricky and oh so tightly designed. Makes for great couch "co-op" where we're both working together to solve things!

I also took more notes ( #Obsidian, obviously ) this than I have for any other game. That's how you know it's great.

Anyone know if it's possible to remove all variables on an element?

I'm thinking something like `all: initial;` but covering inherited CSS variables.

The solutions I'm finding involving looking at loaded stylesheets on the page, which feels way more heavyweight than this should be.

I forgot how annoying it is to develop .

All I want to do is call a function on the global scope, but nooooo...

I need to create a content script to inject a `<script>` tag which loads from the extension which connects to the service worker which proxies to the DevTools panel.

Like, just let me inject directly into a frame!
