I still have all of these issues with WordPress and portable patterns: https://cloudfour.com/thinks/wordpress-blocks-portable-patterns-and-pain-points/

But, itโ€™s really heartening to see what the @enhance_dev project is doing to break down those barriers, as detailed here by @ryanbethel: https://begin.com/blog/posts/2024-05-03-portable-ssr-components

(Iโ€™ve updated my article to include a link.)

friends, I could use your help! ๐Ÿ‘‹

My brother, Tim, is an amazing project manager! His team was laid off (without severance ๐Ÿ˜ž) days before Thanksgiving weekend due to biz dev pipelines (not performance-related).

Heโ€™s been applying and interviewing in the months since, gets exclusively positive feedbackโ€ฆ but every opportunity seems to evaporate. ๐Ÿ˜•

He just launched a personal website (). Please share it with whoever might be interested: https://timsticka.com/

Got my work done, cleaned the apartment, did some laundryโ€”everything set for a few days off. ๐Ÿ’ช

Guess what started alongside my vacation?

A scratchy throat and concerning cough. ๐Ÿ˜…

Yay, I guess? ๐Ÿ˜…

@amxmln Oh no! Take care and feel better soon ๐Ÿ’œ

@jonikorpi The frustrating thing for me is that it becomes this self-fulfilling prophecy. The more sites look the same, the more people expect them to look the same, and the harder we have to argue when that doesnโ€™t suit the project.

Iโ€™ve written a few times about this sort of thing:

I think I probably read more classic than most of my age bracket. Here are my tips for getting into them. https://tylersticka.com/journal/reading-old-comics/

So I have this desk setup with a fancy standing desk, the Topo anti-fatigue mat that everyone recommends, and an expensive split ergonomic keyboard. Andโ€ฆ I injured my back while using it.

What exactly do you want from me, universe?!

tylersticka,
@tylersticka@social.lol avatar

@jonikorpi Ugh, Iโ€™m so sorry! I hope you feel better soon.

Standing desks arenโ€™t for everyone. I tried for years and I just canโ€™t.

Today is my 11th work anniversary at @cloudfour ๐ŸŽ‚

Iโ€™ve spent most of that time providing creative direction and design for our customers, shipping better web experiences together. ๐Ÿ’ช

But Iโ€™ve also found time to write and publish 77 articles. Thereโ€™s a list in my bio: https://cloudfour.com/is/tyler/ โœ

Iโ€™d love to know if you have a favorite. ๐ŸŽฃโค๏ธ

@robb Thanks, Robb, and an early congrats to you, too! (Will they ever get rid of us??)

Perhaps Iโ€™m overwhelmed by all of my side projects. ๐Ÿค” So instead of picking one and working on it, I end up working on none, even when I technically have the time. ๐Ÿ˜…

Doesnโ€™t feel good. ๐Ÿ˜•

@amxmln Been there! Good luck focusing and/or being kind to yourself anyway! (Itโ€™s okay to not be productive all the time, yโ€™know?) ๐Ÿ’œ

Iโ€™m tired of shipping drifting joy-cons to Nintendo for repair. Anyone have experience with mods to fix more permanently? What did you use and how did it go?

tylersticka,
@tylersticka@social.lol avatar

@ronanmcd We have plenty of controllers (including two from 8bitdo), but some games (Clubhouse Games, for example) require joy-cons.

tylersticka,
@tylersticka@social.lol avatar

@ronanmcd Exactly. I know they make Hall Effect joystick replacements (https://www.polygon.com/deals/23627127/nintendo-switch-joy-con-drift-gulikit-stick-hall-effect-fix-installation-buy) but reviews are a little inconsistent, figured Iโ€™d ask if anyone had firsthand experience.

@tylersticka@social.lol avatar

@davatron5000 @ronanmcd Thanks for asking and the info! (Sometimes youโ€™re on the fence and you just want some human confirmation, yโ€™know?)
