For 27 minutes, our Big Web Service was totally broken. An average programmer just like you pushed some shit code and broke it. They learned, but it’s totally going to happen again. Someone who knew what they were doing rolled out a fix when they got back from lunch.

(For the new folks to web work, this is the Real Story behind outages. I’ve done it. More than most.)
So many replies like

“Tests and CI/CD are the answer to this.”

Like. Yes. Those things are A+ very good please do them they stop bugs left and right.

Popular design systems, are they for your projects? 🤔

Lightning: not really for you, it's for Salesforce stuff.

Atlaskit: not really for you, it's for Atlassian stuff.

Polaris: not really for you, it's for Shoptify stuff.
Nachos: not really for you, it's for Trello stuff.

Photon: not really for you, it's for Firefox stuff.

Material Design: it's kinda for you, but it makes you look like you're Google-branded.
Carbon: I'm not really sure.

Bootstrap: definitely for you.

Here's a little thought dump on writing!

Here we go!
An article where you just say some stuff is OK. You're allowed to say stuff.

But you can do better.
An article where you tell a true story about how something worked for you is better. Context! Now we can better understand where you are coming from when you say your stuff. Plus everybody likes a story.

#NinjaSteel Alrighty, so far it's been really fast-paced, but nothing TOO out of the ordinary for Power Rang- IS THAT A FRIGGIN' HOVERBOARD?!
Like, proper Back to the Future 2 hoverboard in this episode that the (I think) Pink Ranger is riding on. Power Rangers is wild, people.
No, no, you don't understand - this is not a Ranger device - IT IS COMMON CIVILIAN TECHNOLOGY. This is BEFORE she became a Power Ranger and SHE HAS A HOVERBOARD.

How to Kill a Character. A Writing Spew in Many Parts. (Inspired by various recent pop culture events.) /BeginSpew 1
Okay, you’re a writer. You’ve got a mess of characters. You want to move your audience. So it’s time to take out the old writer’s ax and chop chop chop! But how do you do it with maximum impact without your audience turning against you forever? 2

》》Lay you down

•When it feels so right
It can never be wrong•

For the 1st time, Jimin tries marijuana at a party, enjoying with his friends.

Until he wakes up naked against his bf's big brother, Min Yoongi. The one he was supposed to meet the same day.
☣ Angst and NSFW content. Irrepressible desire. Cheating, lies, culpability, betrayal.

Forbidden but unstoppable feelings.
Jimin didn’t know why he had agreed to come to this party, which was taking place at someone he didn’t even know, with people he didn’t even know.

Maybe because his friends had long insisted that he accompany them.

Damon gets the sudden urge to check to phone and demands Katherine give it back to him. YESSS READ YOUR DAMN MESSAGES. Its like he got this feeling something wasn't right
"You are going to get yourself killed. The Damon I remember wouldn't have been that stupid."
"I wouldn't have done it for you."
AAGSHD he will risk to life for Elena. We all been knew. But truthfully, he would have for Kat too. He did and he died in 1864.
He wouldn't do it for Katherine NOW, obviously.
