When you don't touch your domain and DNS and SSL settings for 7 years and then everything expires and you have to remember how DNS works again.

How is it that I’ve never interacted with a political post on Bluesky but my entire feed is political posts? Do I need to switch to Mastodon or something to keep up with the JS folks?

Why do developers of widely-used open-source projects insist on drastically changing the APIs so I can't just easily update packages? Looking at you, ESLint.

ChatGPT is really good at making sure your front end can handle any possible combination of characters...recently, I just got back the letter "s" repeated 300 times, and another one that just returned \t over and over.

Are people still using Tailwind in production applications? I feel like there's something I'm not understanding about how this works...if the designer decides that the border radius across your site should change, does this mean a find+replace all across potentially hundreds of pages?

Who is still using moment.js in TYOL 2025? Every time I try to use date-fns I just switch back to moment because I think the API is easier.
