Literally 10 years ago this is what Davos was about.

Literally every publication I subscribe to has an article about Claude code today. It’s wild

Tonight we’re learning how to scrape the web with Beautiful Soup and Playwright!

Really hope my favourite podcasters are back at work today, my feed is getting desperate

We just launched a new website for @datawrapper.de It features a new design and shows even better how you can use Datawrapper to create great visualizations. Check it out: datawrapper.de

And SVG stroke too, pretty please 👼

Sara Soueidan@sarasoueidan.com · 8mo ago

I just want the outline property to take two or more outlines instead of just one so we don't have to hack our way around creating better outlines using box-shadow anymore. I'll take this over a few of the fancy new features added to #CSS and that I use less frequently any day. 🥹

I've been listening to this show since iTunes introduced podcasts in 2005. Thank you to the hosts for their dedication and congrats on an incredible run 🫡

@polygon.com I know you're going through some changes recently but really what on earth is this banner ad

This weekend I got an inexplicable urge to redo my personal website. Maybe it's all this recent talk of small web. Anyway in lieu of a total revamp, I changed up the serif font, from round Jost to old friend Oswald. And fixed a bunch of broken links. Fight that bitrot, friends!

Hot take but hard to disagree. My prediction is in ten years social networks will be exclusively short form video. Hell probably even internal work messages

Jay Vegas@jvegas001.bsky.social · 12mo ago

There isn’t a text based internet social media site that’s actually growing, it’s a dead medium that’s only used by elder millennials, media and bad faith actors
