Some very clear criticisms of the whole "comedy shouldn't be censored" mentality. Comedy absolutely should not be censored, but it should be able to be critiqued. As Thought Slime puts it, (some) …

There, in a single sentence, is the issue with the concept of 'culture fit', something that is incredibly prevalent in the modern workplace. Companies like Google and Apple bang on about their …

I've never understood the appeal of TailwindCSS. I've watched friends and colleagues get amped for it, seen their code, and just felt like it was a meaningless abstraction of the existing technology. …

As more and more companies begin dabbling with blockchain tech, I'm increasingly bemused by just how blind they appear to be to the growing consumer concern over the same space.

I just spent the evening at Bill's, catching up with good friends over good food (and better beer, despite the confusing …

Stephen has some interesting views on the Indieweb movement. I'm not sure I agree with many, but it's useful to understand the angle they're coming from and I can, at least, respect their …

Tech Twitter™ is bickering again and, as ever, Andy's take is the best take: use what works, understand that criticism is not an attack, and realise that what works for you may not work for …

There isn't too much to add beyond the title. Ruta has put together an endearing infographic with a pretty decent list of key points to consider. Now, I'm not much of a logo designer myself, but the …

An interesting look at using padding only on the very lowest element within a hierarchy (as Samantha says, the atoms of your design) and therefore setting it globally. It's a logical approach, though …

In third place is a collection of 'achievement' stickers doing the rounds of the blogosphere right now. Originally designed by Jeremy Nguyen, published on The New Yorker and personally discovered via …

Fourth on the list is a simple article from Martian Craft outlining "The Importance of Routine". The post is aimed at remote works and is far from news to me, but it is a well-written example of how …

Critique of JavaScript-heavy frontend frameworks and useful deep-dive into the issues of using client-side scripts or libraries for webmentions. Nicolas rightfully points out that this isn't just …

Cher has written an excellent, concise, and extremely evenly-handed response to the current Tech Twitter™ nonsense. I wanted to save it (alongside Andy's) to refer to next time this happens …

There's been a growing backlash in certain circles to surveys like the State of JavaScript. I don't fully agree with the underlying rhetoric, and I do think that these surveys are both well-meaning …

A critique of npm (and other package managers), the move-fast hype cycle of tech products, and the tech debt it …

As acerbic and cutting a critique of utility-first CSS (and that particular framework) as you would expect from Heydon, but hidden amongst the humour are some (also equally expected) jewels …

Migrating content between fields in Craft is not as simple as it might be. In the wake of Craft 5, I've been getting a lot of practice, and wanted to write up some of the techniques I've been using.

Every now and then someone writes a really entertaining and/or interesting critique of the whole modern web ecosystem thing that we are stuck using. This is one of those posts. I don't agree with it …
