Game developers as a group seem to get this, but I'll speak up one more time for the people in back: THE INTERFACE IS THE PRODUCT

I give up. I'm no longer a front-end developer, I'm a web interface engineer. Now do you get why my job is important?

By mindful they mean healthy, and by healthy they mean low-cal-low-fat-low-soduim, and by that they mean "half the building will be hangry by 3:30". Am I crazy to believe I shouldn't have to eat Second Lunch to get through the day?

Two lessons for today: simpler code !== less code, and LinkedIn has a proximity search just like tinder.

Dark Souls Calibre Two: where all the hollowed soldiers have Ivy's moveset

Why yes, my sorcerer is dual wielding daggars, and I will cut a bitch

I just beat the trolls in the training level of dark souls 2. I have also managed to kill the pigs in majula. I can die happy now.

I didn't realize how much I missed gulp until I didn't use gulp for 6 months. Or any modern web dev tools. #codingbackintime

A man with no children just criticized the desire of parents to drink at Chuck E Cheese. #sellouthottakes

Golly do I love it when back end developers, especially c# and Java guys, are forced to write stuff for the website front-end. Its never perfectly clear that they hate every minute of it and refuse to actually learn the languages they're using. #sarcasm #obviously

Companion cube 😭😭😭

Why I pirate: I buy an ebook on Amazon, read about a third of it, remember I hate the Kindle app, download a drm-free copy of the book from mobilism, and finish the book more happily using Moonreader

Mountain Dew and Motrin: memoir of a middleaged programmer #mynextbook

When God invented smalltalk, individual components like buttons had their own MVC. Now, my rails app as one MVC for the entire app. If I do component MVC with JavaScript, am I a genius or did I just reinvent react?

Hey universe, I really like the speed and convenience of JavaScript for making dumb little.games and websites and things. I just write a little code and Bam! I can see a result in a browser. What would be another language for that kind of short feedback cycle?

It would make me very happy if you would go ahead and quantify how gay you are now. Thanks.

Did afterellen.com always suck, or is this a new development

What is an example of a computer program that cannot be expressed as a finite state machine?

If putting a bazillion .on()s on a single $(document) is wrong, I don't want to be right. #jquery

You shouldn't put styles in your HTML in style tags. Except for display:none. Sprinkle that bitch everywhere. #rulesforcodelife
