Web Summit, we're here!

They DM'd last night with the standard message. tui.co.uk/destinations/t… has the latest as they're not posting here

@TUIUK we are due to be in the holiday village Rhodes from Wednesday - given the developing situation will our trip still be going ahead?

@swyx My company has over 5000 people in technology, and there's no front end person even at principal level. Back end community is 2x size of front end

I think I first started talking about the "Frontend Ceiling" 4 years ago and its still not well understood — there are great exceptions, but for the vast majority of bootcampers entering the software industry today as Frontend/JS devs and indirectly React/Serverless devs, you are being quietly graded into a lower tier of software engineer that will NEVER be on a track to VP Eng or CTO. Justified or not (I can argue both sides) this phenomenon is real and if you do not actively test your comfort zones you may find yourself hitting invisible career ceilings. Acknowledgements (which I'm sure some pple will omit reading in their eagerness to contradict me): - you can have a plenty successful career without being VPE/CTO - many situations where a person from frontend/JS background can get there, but either the business doesnt have that deep of backend needs or the person effectively needs to dualclass because (proving the point) frontend isnt sufficient for a senior eng leadership role in the way that backend is.

There is no way I'd get this, but I would love this job @HenriHelvetica

@TowersStreet @altontowers Then they need another meeting, "Continuous Improvement - Hex - Hex"

@steveworkman @altontowers Hex is actually the name of one of the conference rooms, so nothing to do with the ride. There is another room called Galactica and Nemesis as well.

Unfortunately the doors still remain firmly shut at Hex. When could we see the return of the popular @altontowers madhouse?

@cramforce International megacorp here: it's been dead for a year. Maybe @GDSTeam still support it but that's the level that would remain

Is anyone still doing Internet Explorer compatibility or is that truly dead?

@piccalilli_ They've "paused" it and taken the code out for now. I can see it coming back in the future but not without some heavy, heavy changes

@justinfagnani Undefined... No constructor in b or a call to super, and who knows when that code is called or in what order....

Choose!

JavaScript puzzler: Without running the code, what's printed to the console? Poll in thread!

@Amy_Hupe Find the tiles marked "where" and put a bag from the cupboard provided onto that tile

One hundred English pounds to anyone who can tell me the meaning of this sign

@seb_ly Dude, this is amazing. And to think this started with messing around with lasers and javascript at local meetups. Huge ❤️

Liberation is now available for patrons - more at liberationlaser.com and my YouTube channel youtube.com/sebstar55 (Image via cashwasp at instagram) #Glastonbury #spider #festival #glasto #glasto23 #glastonbury23 #arcadiaspider #LiberationLasers #lasershow #stagedesign

Congrats to Danny Mason and all at Reach Lasers on their incredible laser installation at the Arcadia stage at Glastonbury. My laser software Liberation ran flawlessly throughout the 4 day event that featured The Chemical Brothers, Floating Points, Daphni, and Plastician.

@ChrisHewitt Try Paw Patrol - 10 year old Batman/Mafia boss protecting a city

I have questions about PJ Masks. A lot of questions, in fact. So many goddamn questions.

I hope this isn't right...

🎉Lit 2.7.5 released🎉 - lit-labs/ssr-react coordinates property and attribute handling. - lit-labs/context type checking was improved by @jpzwarte - chrispaterson contributed refactorings to virtualizer to reduce potential memory leaks. Read more: github.com/lit/lit/releas…

@mattbd @LeaVerou @vuejs Have you had a look recently at Vue 3 and the composition API? Its DX is great and it avoids all of React's issues like it's custom element support and it's interop via events or having to use JS for everything

One of the things that puzzle me the most about our industry is why do devs keep choosing React over @vuejs. It’s bloated, produces poor user experiences, makes bigger demands on tooling, respects web standards less, and has significantly poorer DX… I just …don’t get it.

Twitter - what's the intersection of all of these things? Design Experience? Developer Experience? Tech Experience? Something else entirely?

@MerlinapUK Did anyone get one? I was there within 5 seconds and it's just unavailable

As an engineer whose sites need to live for more than a year this scares the 💩 out of me
