This is a lovely color tool: colorpalette.pro
…and also a reminder of the era—not that long ago!—when most software looked something like this. It was beautiful to behold and lovely to use. This was taken from us for entirely dubious reasons, but driven people like Ryan can still do it.

I think it's great to have nuanced, good faith disagreements, in an appropriate time and place!
but only if that's what's *actually* going on, rather than trying to pull everyone towards the center while saying "can't we all just get along guys? whys everyone so maaad cmon guuuys"

I don't like how the word "nuanced" became synonymous with "finding a middle ground" between "extremes"
it's possible to have a nuanced opinion, and yet also firmly stand within one of the extremes

"Surely there's a middle ground here?" The CEO of Helldivers 2 studio Arrowhead says people "jump to extreme takes" when debating generative AI, and that there needs to be more nuance in the discussion.

I’m trying to build myself up. A few years ago I shipped a Playdate game with Zero Bugs. The only 3 reported errors occurred after platform changes.
I am the fastest and most-knowledgeable CSS person I’ve ever worked with. By a long shot.
I love collaborating & building others up.

One thing that’s really started to hurt my heart about the social media era:
We learn to receive, but not to go looking. Who were you following a few years ago that just… stopped posting? And you didn’t notice? What website did you used to love, but since it doesn’t enter your feed…?

We’re about to hit week four of radio silence, with the suite of apps delisted. Want a new license? Too bad. Support forums? Closed. Want to know what’s going on? Tune in on 30 October. 1/2 >>>
