The lack of Figma integration or a first-party plugin was a huge bummer for me. I still use Tailwind almost religiously because it just clicked for me and I have been on enough projects with terrible SCSS organization that I want to leave that as far behind me as I can.
I do appreciate that even without an integration, it’s fairly easy to set up vim on one screen and figma on the other and be able to translate the css to TW without any issues or having to constantly look things up.
And I went through a year or two of binging from the beginning and caught up to present day a year or two ago, but took a break for Jamie Loftus stuff and Knowledge Fight, as well as Some More News and Cool People Who Did Cool Stuff to help balance the bummer lol
Knowledge fight would be interesting, but always balk at their episode count. Also watch some more news when they have something interesting. Basically everything from the frequent bastards guests.
There is a _lot_ of KF there, I started that from the beginning and I’m close to episode 300…I shudder to think how much of my last two years has been Alex Jones content…but it’s fascinating. And frustrating that his whole shtick seems so transparent yet too complex to get through to people already wrapped up in it
Reading about APE similarly sparkled me - the amount of ingenuity and sheer amazingness (if not perhaps a touch of depravity) that goes into these kinds of endeavors is awe inspiring.
> Other drivers stop the ballet immediately and get all timid and stuff
I can personally attest as to why I suddenly get weird when at a 4-way with a cop: I don’t remember exactly what the rules are, what’s “ok” as in not technically illegal (ie 2 cars crossing at the same time?), etc, and the panic of getting pulled over because of some minor detail makes me just wait however long I need to to get a clear turn. It’s silly, I know how it works, and when that authority figure is present I just want to avoid any and all interaction.
That’s an interesting perspective. The way I’ve always approached it is that if someone is looking at my car weird, I should probably ask what’s up. I’ve honked over several cars to let them know their tire is flat, flagged down drivers in parking lots because some dumbass let a ton of nails fall off their work truck, etc. When it comes to cars, someone checking out my car in a “weird” way is a prompt to me to investigate, not flee.
It's a perspective, prefaced with a speech about human error. I might get it wrong -- so might you, yourself.
There remains some reason for the businesses and residents of the neighborhood in which Kit Kat was run over to have spent money to install and maintain things like security gates and iron pickets in front of the glass and entryways of their buildings.
When I find myself in such a neighborhood at night and am already intent upon leaving, is not my intention to stick around and maybe find out what that reason might be.
Might be getting hugged - some of the answers in the first chapter failed to load images, and then the second page failed to load.
This is a really neat page and, while I doubt I’ll ever get far into learning any of it, it’s really cool! For some reason I never stopped to wonder just how much we knew about hieroglyphs and assumed it wasn’t much, and I’m happily surprised!
I wonder how much empathy plays into it? I’ve trended towards teach lead roles and not that I feel my code is necessarily special, I think it’s clean enough and concise at times - occasionally some ASCII art slips in of course…
But what I have noticed across multiple companies is that I offer feedback for reviews that is thorough when it counts - I may pick apart a huge PR with lots of notes and suggestions, and that’s because the change has the potential to impact large systems. I also explain why, and I ask questions of the engineer to make sure I know why they did a thing because maybe I missed something.
I also talk to managers, product, and design, and do a lot of listening. Often times people are working towards a goal, or working against some barrier to getting their goals met, and being able to listen and understand them lends to a lot of credibility. And when you do a lot of that listening, you inherently gain a good amount of understanding of the systems - both technical and human.
When the time comes for someone to say “we should have a new lead on X”, the people that listen and engage tend to rise to that position naturally.
I think accountability and empathy go hand in hand to some degree - by owning something, you’re also saying “I understand how my work might impact other things, other people, and I want to reassure you that I have your back”.

I’ll be curious to see this when it finally leaks too
> “anyone involved in censorship of free speech”. To me that seems like a good thing?
It seems like it until you remember that the current party in power considers things like a private business saying “we don’t tolerate hate speech” as infringing on free speech. At this point, the right uses “free speech” as a battle cry to shut down people who don’t agree with them. The government telling anyone they can’t have DEI practices, or forcing compliance with their views on what’s appropriate by withholding budget, or targeting citizens for their social media posts - these are actual free speech issues.
Hate speech is a crime - suggesting a group of people, defined by some characteristic like race or gender, should be subject to violence, has been agreed to be dangerous for hopefully obvious reasons. If hate speech laws didn’t exist and the government tried to stifle that speech, that would be in violation of free speech.
Not sure why you put DEI in as a free speech issue - unless you have some source to go along with the claim that it somehow violates free speech?
> We have examples of the latter like claiming Covid originated in China is “hate speech”.
I think we can both agree that suggesting something like that isn’t hate speech, and I think if there was violent rhetoric against Asian people being “blamed” for covid you’d have a different case on your hands - again, there’s no context for your claim so we can’t really discuss it beyond hypotheticals can we?
> The irony is you accuse the administration of applying the label too broadly
My point is the same people who complain about “free speech” when private companies kick the likes of Alex jones off of their platforms are more than happy to wield the power of the federal government to silence dissent or to force companies and universities to make difficult decisions between keeping funding or standing by the lie principles.
My mistake for confusing hate speech directly with hate crime. Hate speech can turn a crime into a “hate crime” and that’s my mistake for conflating the two. In my original post the thought behind it was hateful speech with an incitement towards violence - either way, I can agree that speech itself shouldn’t be illegal even if hateful, and I agree with where the law is that if it calls for violence against a group it can constitute a crime.
> My point was that you complain about about speech being suppressed, but ignore the same when it comes to things like hate speech and DEI.
I think it’s very clear - the government shouldn’t be infringing on speech. Hateful or not - so long as the speech doesn’t coincide with calls to action or other things that cause said speech to become part of a crime. And even then, it’s still less about the speech - that’s not the illegal part (as you correct earlier) - it’s about the actions that may rise to the level of a crime.
Overall I still don’t know how DEI works into any of this and I’d like for you to elaborate on that part.
I do appreciate that even without an integration, it’s fairly easy to set up vim on one screen and figma on the other and be able to translate the css to TW without any issues or having to constantly look things up.
