Some interesting links from linkage.lol that I want to note before accidentally closing my browser tab.
🔗 Blogging Resources Complements of Robert Birming
🔗 For Linkblog Fans
It’s also a site I’ve now subscribed to.
Posts in "Links"
A great post by Annie Mueller. And pretty much spot on, based on my understanding of how to gain confidence.
Found this while browsing Dave Winer’s blog-roll on Scripting News. I enjoyed reading this post so I thought I’d take his advice and be nice by sharing a link to it.
🔗 Chris Arnade Walks the World
I’ve been enjoying this newsletter for the past month now. Chris is a good writer (understandable, given his profession) and gives wonderful descriptions of the places and peoples he visits. Worth looking at if you’re into blogger-travels-the-world style blogs.
Every problem at every company I’ve ever worked at eventually boils down to “please dear god can we just hire people who know how to write HTML and CSS.”
I know bugger all about the world of front-end web development. But seeing how quickly it takes me to get changes made and deployed using just these technologies, verses dealing with the mountain of JavaScript for an SPA, leaves me convinced that those that embrace HTML and CSS have a significant advantage over those that don’t.
🔗 Private blogs on Scribbles
This excites me. One of the features that drew me to look at Scribbles was the possibility of private blogs. It’s great that this has been added now. I will definitely make use of it. Thanks, Vincent.
Real opinions from real people about a project management system which unfortunately is also real.
Love the tag line of this site. Also, spoilers, but Confluence makes a warranted appearance here as well.
I agree with Craig Hockenberry here. The trust of any one site essentially depends on what is published there. And as more big-tech platforms embrace AI slop, the less you can trust those platforms to surface reliable information. It’s like that proverb of someone being only as good as their word. If one was to replace the concept of a person with a domain name, then I reckon you could say the same thing about websites.
🔗 Collective Nouns for Groups of Various Birds
Many of the ones I expected, but there are some interesting ones I’ve never heard of: a dole of doves, a kit of pigeons, a pandemonium of parrots.
🔗 Own Your Web – Issue 15: Home Sweet Home
It’s good to see Own Your Web is still going. I really enjoy reading this newsletter and I was disappointed for a time when issues stopped being published reguarily some months ago. Good thing I kept the RSS feed around.
