Dan Manchester

I had some time on my hands thanks to the layoff, so I rebuilt my personal site 🧔🏻‍♂️ dan.isnot.cool The first blog post is the article I wrote as part of my Chromatic interview process, where I build a little app to inventory all my books: 📚 dan.isnot.cool/blog/card-cata…

@inthefade So sorry for your loss

@ajmueller Thank you, sir! 🫸💥🫷

@elseloop If you’re using Prettier, make sure to install the Tailwind plugin. It sorts your classes and makes your life so much easier. Also download the VS Code extension for intellisense! tailwindcss.com/blog/automatic… marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName…

I’m using Tailwind for the 1st time on a client project and I can definitely see its usefulness & why people love it so much. I also know for sure it’s not for me on big, custom projects. After so much CSS over 15+ years I'm a faster thinker with a single class and a stylesheet.

@stephmurrayyyy The Ivy & Bean books by Annie Barrows

Don't think I have enough followers for this but: If you could recommend one chapter book/series to read aloud to a six year old what would it be?

@Integrayshaun Happy birthday, dude! 🍻

I really enjoy writing CSS. Carry on.

@chantastic @Integrayshaun lol yep

@elseloop @Integrayshaun oh man. i’m so sorry. we’re gonna be sitting pretty next april tho 😂

this video cost me $20,600.97 please watch it #LayoffLog

@chantastic @jlongster My understanding is that it typically is run at the lower bonus rate but doesn't have to be. Yay.

@jlongster that’s a good question. i (possibly wrongly) assumed differently, just because it was significantly higher than the bonus rate (at least what i’m familiar with)

@chantastic @Integrayshaun Right there with you. Mine was closer to $15k, but I fucked up the same exact way. ✌️💸 💥😞🔫

@Integrayshaun “are you sure it was deposited in total becau… ooooooh nooooo”

How’ve you been filling your time since getting laid off, Dan? The usual way: spending a few hours in the middle of the night making silly shit on the internet because I bought a domain name a decade ago and never did anything with it. Totally normal. 240dollarsworthofpudding.com

@adgodev Yeah, I'm not seeing here either: codepen.io/elseloop/pen/m… Something else must have been going on. 🤦‍♂️ Thanks for the fact-check, you wizard you.

@adgodev 🤔 I wonder if I had a typo that went unnoticed or something?

Thing I didn't know until now: CSS :has selector doesn't work with attribute selectors. (At least, I think that’s true.)

@adgodev Ha, yeah. I thought I had a handle on blocks a couple years ago, came back and its just different enough. So it goes. 🫠

@elseloop Bless you for diving back into WP right now. It's changing constantly and keeping up is wild

Dipping my feet back into WordPress to help out a site I built a while ago and ran into an oddity. If anyone has any ideas, I'm all ears: wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/4221…

Starbucks: like drinking a toaster’s crumb tray.™️

@kyleshevlin I've started asking ChatGPT to write well-annotated outlines for things then writing against those myself in order to avoid the ick of full-AI-copy. If I do go full copy, I send the result through a few times asking for it rewritten in “clear, plain language.” Usually helps. 🤷‍♂️

@jina That's awful—and awfully infuriating! Your community work should be considered an asset everywhere.

I had a job offer and was gonna excitedly announce it once all the paperwork was complete. But the company just rescinded their offer. Apparently their legal decided that my conference & other community activities are a conflict of interest. :(
