:focus-within is SO useful. Really great selector.

Our Almanac entry: https://css-tricks.com/almanac/selectors/f/focus-within/ Recent from @davidwalshblog https://davidwalsh.name/css-focus-within

A note though! Careful not to use in comma-separated selectors lest you might break all the selectors in non-supporting browsers

20 years ago, people tried to convince me that learning HTML was pointless because we had FrontPage and Dreamweaver.

Ignoring them was the best decision I ever made.

TypeScript is inconsistent about allowing unknown properties in objects. It does not allow extra properties on object types by default (different from Flow), but doesn't always error properly.

Flow has both exact and normal object types, and errors properly. https://twitter.com/devongovett/status/1157039457037512704/photo/1

I HATE HATE HATE when Twitter surreptitiously switches back from Latest Tweets to Home view. Why doesn't Twitter respect my choice? Stupid, manipulative, abusive, user-hostile design is a sure sign the company has our worst interests at heart.

Discovered a new kind of fraud in the iOS Poptropica app. It offers in-app purchases as a decoy- the real purchases happen on a separate web site, circumventing the AppStore and more importantly, subverting the easy cancellation of the service. https://twitter.com/migueldeicaza/status/1155977306742984705/photo/1

Biggest lesson I learned when teaching programming to beginners:

An actual beginner was so far away from what I thought a beginner was.

When you know stuff well you forget what it was like to not know it.

Knowing this will help you calibrate and support learners better.

Teach what you practice and practice what you teach. One without the other doesn’t complete the journey of a professional.

"Whiteboard exercises" in an interview are idiotic. Don't know about you, but I work at this device called a computer. it's hooked up to this other thing called the "internet." When I forget something, I look it up. Why should I memorize things I can look up?

@allenholub Rote memorization, solving problems most people would never have in a recital format and showing up to work in person early in the morning are all work-“ethic” rituals of ceremonial obedience that likely come from a Prussian military school and not from decent Quakers😇

Do y’all remember, before the internet, that people thought the cause of stupidity was the lack of access to information? Yeah. It wasn’t that. 🤦🏼‍♀️

I just want to vote for someone time travelers don't have to kill.

Its with a heavy heart I have to announce my retirement from shitposting on twitter. I need to be a thoughtleader (™) and be super serious with all my hot takes on this website from now on.

Ahem.

Micro services.

Carry on.

@marionpdaly I look forward to your soft-spoken, under-stating Medium post on serverless shitposting with AR headset Minecraft and machine learning😇 kubernetes.
