After exactly one year of tireless work alongside the amazing @chriseppstein... #CSSBlocks and #OptiCSS are now open sourced!

engineering.linkedin.com/blog/2018/04/c…

#StyleFaster #CSS #webdevelopment #webdesign
When we get these technologies deployed to production, they will reduce our *compressed* CSS footprint to less then 10% of what it is today – while also making the developers on our teams more productive, and our frontend code more resilient.
So, go dig in to the OSS developer preview – we want help and feedback! 😃 Time to get this baby out into the world: css-blocks.com 🎉

You scooped me @chrisarvinsf! Two weeks ago, @ebakerwhite1 and I discovered an insane network of fake Twitter accounts attacking progressive politicians in SF. @EskSF has written an amazing article on it.

A couple weeks ago, a person called Emily Zeng began a meme campaign against SF D5 Supervisor Dean Preston. Zeng’s profile (@EmilyZeng20) reads: “Meme girl. Social Justice and Equity in SF. BidenHarris2020. BLM+AsiansBelong. Meme-ing to get my outdoor living room back in SF D5.” Image
Here’s the thing though: there’s no Emily Zeng registered to vote in D5 – or any other SF district. And what’s more – Zeng’s account uses the profile pic of a PhD student in Tokyo named Emily S. Chen. ImageImage

Y'all... tell me that the new Facebook (desktop web) doesn't look like Twitter. ImageImage
Holy shit, it's *fully* responsive though – with native scroll-snap-stop enabled carousels and everything. Well done Facebook eng team! Image
Dark mode is driven by native css variables. Love to see a major tech company using these so heavily in production! IE11 is supported with (presumably auto-generated) fallbacks for each variable used. Luckily CSS gzips well. ImageImage

Hi all! So, as some of you know, I left LinkedIn six months ago to start a political tech company focused on local progressive campaigns.

This week, more than ever, we've seen the importance of electing capable and compassionate leaders to local office.
To do this, we need to make sure candidates are elected on the merits of their ideas, not the tools they can buy or IT teams they can hire.

Democracy should be a democratic exercise, and when unconventional candidates are priced out of the process, we all become weaker for it.
In the last six months, I've built a suite of outreach tools specifically for local campaigns - including voter file ingestion, phone-banking, text-banking, turf cutting, and others - and a few clever tech decisions have made this suite much cheaper than alternatives.

Made a weird New Years resolution to tweet *more* in 2020!

I'm often bad at sharing what I'm working on publicly until its done, and I frequently let perfect be the enemy of the good. Time to break that habit 🙂

So, in that spirit:
Last night I dusted off and re-published an old module that I'm pretty proud of:

Loll lets you use the filesystem to declare RESTful APIs, and encourages convention over configuration for your Express apps.

github.com/amiller-gh/loll

(I found a four letter package name – wat?!)
I've always been frustrated at how un-opinionated Node.js REST API dev is – esp. coming from frontend where we heavily lean on the filesystem to enforce project structure.

Loll takes away the route decl. ceremony, and scales with your project, so you can focus on business logic.

As some of you already know, for the last two years I've run tech for a pretty amazing side project – but been on the fence about sharing my involvement.

On June 1st my partner @ebakerwhite1 and I released plainviewproject.org

THREAD 🧵 – let's talk about tech and activism.
(Let me preface with: Cops are heroes. But we need to know that ALL officers have ALL of our backs, no matter our race, religion or ethnicity.

These aren't "a few bad apples" – it hints at a pervasive sub-culture of bigotry in the organizations we task with defending civility.)
I've decided to attach my name to this on the off chance that it will inspire someone in tech to get more involved with their local community.

Tech has an "ivory tower" problem, in part because we (often unintentionally) are so isolated from the people who use what we make.

Best maths videos on YT. You prob. only ever learned the shadow of Algebra. Do your mind a favor and watch it.
Seriously, I wish high school algebra class even touched on any of these topics. Its important to make these concepts familiar when young.
Math makes so much more sense when you actually, you know, teach the full picture.
