Things that auto-minify CSS (i.e carelessly strip spaces rather than let the server accurately compress them) are the worst is my hill today
Shakes fist at… things!
It occurred to me while making coffee this morning that Prince’s Nikki is probably a barista.
I think I have figured out my way to mess with AI bots
Excited to hang out and chat open source and higher ed with Rachel Cherry and Jennifer Stroth at WPCampus and Human Made’s online event this Thursday. A bunch of smart people doing good work are on the schedule AND it’s free—you should check it out!

I am the pillow king, I can do anything!
TIL don’t land on your shoulder
Having to dig out my ID at 44 to buy non-alcoholic beer at Safeway is my strange penance for selling cigarettes to other high school kids at the gas station when I was 16.
I mean, someone has to try putting Doritos in the instant pot
git config --global url."git@github.com:".insteadOf "https://github.com/"
Where have you been all of my life?
“It’s like Reduce, Reuse, Recycle except for prefetching it’s Cache, Reduce, Prefetch. If you find yourself at that last step, then it may end up in the garbage anyway”
Is something correct I said earlier this week, so I had to document it.
You never can tell with bees
I’m about to go where the wild things are to get around this 🤣 https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/38376
