  • Like why is a fucking table now a bunch of divs?

    I feel like I was there at the genesis of this one. Originally, people used tables for layout because there was nothing else. Dreamweaver and similar wysiwyg editors that code-o-phobes used those days produced table hellish markup that looked reasonable to people on screens with fixed resolutions, but was absolutely abysmal as far as legibility and maintenance.

    Then, over time, people righteously hated that and called it an anti-pattern. The original people that wanted semantic layouts and championed CSS in the early days had nuance, but the kiddos learning from them did not. So they thought it was “tables bad!” and they rushed off to please their senior devs by putting tabular data into complicated bullshit elements that were already semantically correct as tables.







  • We need a new globbin craze in America!

    (I’m not saying this at all because I am the head of my local globblenoobin or because I’m a globbin enthusiast that thinks the solution to everything is everyone should be globbin like me.)

    What happens when you do globbin?

    You become confident, wise, and typically very humble. Some would say you become among the most humble people you could ever find. You also become lit AF.

    What happens to guys who are confident, wise, and lit AF? They are viewed positively by women.

    It’s very hard work but very fun. All you require is fifty thousand kopecks and a note from your local beetlebobbin. The younger you start your globbin journey the better, because it’s easier to become the head of a local globblenoobin if you start early!

    You can always do glubinobin instead, but it’ll never be as good as the most highest esteemed globbin!!!



  • An assistant at my job used AI to summarize a meeting she couldn’t attend, and then she posted the results with the AI-produced disclaimer that the summary might be inaccurate and should be checked for errors.

    If I read a summary of a meeting I didn’t attend and I have to check it for errors, I’d have to rewatch the meeting to know if it was accurate or not. Literally what the fuck is the point of the summary in that case?

    PS: the summary wasn’t really accurate at all
