@keithpitt @buildkite @rails Ah so refreshing to read! I've been reluctantly involved in so many projects that insist on building a single page JS app and throwing more js at the problems it creates which just generates more problems… and so on

Here are @buildkite’s internal engineering principles on how UIs should be built with our majestic @rails monolith:

@ArtOfTomShannon @ABCEducationAU @Library_Vic @15mindrawings Thanks Tom this was recorded a few years ago now

@ABCEducationAU @mrdougal @Library_Vic Nicely done @15mindrawings !

@notahat Solid timeless advice, thank you for not mentioning writing everything in js including stylesheets

I wrote a thing about how I write HTML and CSS. notahat.com/2022/07/writin…

@rayh Nice one Ray 👍 I really dig space but I’m terrible at maths

@cuteiosdev As in staying living in melbourne? (Sorry don’t know full context, been off Twitter for a while)

@cuteiosdev I like that it’s a gravel bike but with many many drink bottle mounts. Also that red looks amazing

Going to assume this will remove most of the vowels, as we aren’t using them anyway

@keithpitty I've heard it's been a very rough week 💔

@JuliaLaite This is a wonderful read thank you for sharing. I’m also glad that we aren’t the only ones to haul items in our chariot that aren’t children

@ArtOfTomShannon @IllusDept Hey that's amazing news Tom! Congratulations!!

@IllusDept Recently, as in last week, I signed with an illustration agent. Before the call, I felt like calling it quits. I was at rock bottom. The moral of the story, don't ever give up. Rejections are stepping stones. I've have many! Thank you for sharing!

To the illustrators who haven’t won an award… To the illustrators who receive more rejections than praise… To the illustrators who haven’t had luck lately (or ever) in finding a home for their work… This tweet is for you. Take care. Be good to yourself. Keep going.

@cuteiosdev That’s perfectly understandable 💜

@cuteiosdev Hey Amy👋 I hope this journey brings you a lot of happiness

@cuteiosdev Wellington is certainly the closest to Melbourne in my opinion, having lived in both places. I’m certainly very happy living where I am now

@cuteiosdev I can understand that. Any part of NZ in particular?

@malchata Oh 100%
