tonight i got to nerd out on twitter and y’all seem to be okay with that. thanks @ThePracticalDev :) as an “old” i sometimes feel disconnected. we can find common ground and have fun building things :)

@mikesusz
i fully welcome any further questions/discussion about hardware and workstation stuff. i love this stuff. totally nerdy about it. :)

@matthewgiesa WASD’s version has DIP switches underneath that you can switch to adjust the ctrl/cmd key layout, but most boards, if you connect them to a Mac, can go to System Prefs -> Keyboard -> Modifier Keys and set what key is sent for which key position

dear developer community: do not make people feel stupid in order to shut them up.

@codehitchhiker also i’ve spent most of LIS thinking Chloe should spend some time in a correctional institution.

does it violate Twitter’s ToS if clients can have a ‘hide tweet’ button? like, i don’t want to report it, i just don’t want to see it until (my feed updates)

today was maybe the first time i've had one airpod's battery drain fully and i had to switch to the other one while the first one charged.

@karenmcgrane @beep i'm sorry, i should clarify: the podcast will be missed, and i attempted to make a joke about responsive design.

i’m so lucky and tired and frustrated and tired and lucky.

@mikesusz
if i ever get around to writing a memoir, it will probably be titled “I’m so tired and stupid.”
mike susz
@mikesusz
@evanleahquinn but YMMV, there’s also the factor of (how i wasn’t able to) afford to live in Seattle proper. that was a lot bigger part of it.

@crtr0 one thing i was bummed about - i wanted to include Ralph the robot but i’m totally out of @thoughtbot stickers. maybe my friend @jyurek could help? :)
mike susz
@mikesusz
the fact that they've solved this problem with less industry experience than I have is irrelevant. they chose to focus on this problem, and came up with an excellent solution. AND they shared it. that's all that matters.
mike susz
@mikesusz
whenever I reach these situations now, I search for help from the community. almost always, someone has documented a fix for the problem or something similar to lead me to success. and probably half the time, that person is younger than I am.

@mikesusz
a lot of times I see someone as (old) as I am complain about something, and you see them justify their frustration with "well I've been making websites since (stone age)! this is difficult!"
mike susz
@mikesusz
(not long ego enough) I gave up the notion that, since I've been doing this job for so long, new things presented to me should be self-evident. user and designer requirements have elevated, and we must keep learning to meet them.

@mikesusz
can they get a bailout?

it’s amazing to see the volume of websites now that completely neglect to have a <title> tag at all.

mark your calendar, March the thirteenth in the Year of our Lord 2018, the day I allowed Minecraft into this household.

i know there are lots of people with bigger problems today, but i’m trying to understand why the plow driver did this. that’s 38” deep snow they left in front of my driveway, BACKED UP and drove around the pile.

@jlengstorf @marisamorby oh also, congratulations! :D

@DanielBrian i should clarify; my idea often isn’t the final destination. but i could have sped us along the journey by voicing it.
