A new beta of my book on is out: pragprog.com/titles/ksrtc/pr… And hey: I’ve been quietly searching for my next FT role in front-end engineering or engineering-aligned DevRel. I’m a practiced communicator, generous collaborator, and champion of the web platform and its native APIs.

I saw a truck this morning for a home-renovation company called AverUs. I’m guessing whoever named the company doesn’t know the word “avarice”—or knows it all too well.

Four of five editions of @BryanAGarner’s usage dictionary. The missing second edition came out while I was in grad school—and grad school finances meant having to sit that one out.

The Venn diagram of people who a) correctly write “Daylight Saving Time,” b) know we’re now on Standard time, and c) have had to configure TZ data on servers scattered across the globe is a beautiful, perfect circle.

It’s fun when a teeny, tiny PR marks a big shift. This one updated the MDN/Can I Use compat data for implicit rollback on `setRemoteDescription()`, which has meant since Safari 15.4 that #webRTC perfect negotiation is now in all major browsers: github.com/mdn/browser-compa…

Out of date docs are worse than no docs because they make your users feel stupid. Then they make users angry when support tells them the docs are wrong. Product orgs: invest heavily in docs. Not just creating them, but updating too. They are crucial to driving adoption.

I’ll be digging out my DVD copy of American Movie tonight. Rest in power, Mike.
RIP Mike Schank. Watch him in AMERICAN MOVIE and learn how to be a good friend.
