Honestly, we were all better off with GeoCities websites.

I post about React, scrolling graphics, WordPress, 80s jumpsuits, and dad jokes gone wrong.

we've already sold 1000 copies of The Secret Rules of the Terminal since it came out on Tuesday!!

so to celebrate I'm giving away 1000 copies to anyone who can't afford to buy one. You can use code BUYONEGIVEONE to get a free PDF copy if $12 USD is a lot for you.

16 years in business. 7 roasting our own coffee and 1 since we stopped taking on new cafes. Staff are pensioned, well paid and I hope happy. Seeming need for exponential growth in business is a lie. Knowing and appreciating when you've enough is a more than decent replacement. Lots never get that.

🤩 I’m very (VERY!) excited about CSS `ident()` – a feature I proposed and specced – getting prototyped.

This allows me to reduce the amount of CSS I have to write when multiple items that behave in the same need to have a unique name.

See brm.us/ident for an intro.

If you’re someone trying to break into tech as a #softwareengineer with no coding experience let’s connect! I went from 0 coding experience to hired in 4.5 months and you can too! We got this. I like learning and my main languages are Python JavaScript and SQL.
