Its exhausting to see 3rd party plugins using 0,4,0 specificity and adding !important to every style property in these selectors. Also, why use BEM and nesting? This is like... exactly the wrong way to make your plugin extensible.

WooCommerce blocks CSS stylesheet with selectors like `.wc-block-components-notice-banner>.wc-block-components-notice-banner__content .wc-forward:active` and button styles with a dozen `!important` declarations on each property.

Thereā€™s a robust modding scene for iPods and I wish I had more money / desk space to get into electrical and hardware engineering. Even though Apple killed them, itā€™s still possible to get a refurbished & upgraded iPod with a huge SSD, brand new battery, andā€¦ āœØa dedicated hardware audio jackāœØ

If anyone has a line on one of those $370k/yr do-nothing jobs at a FAANG company, hit me up. I have a lot of open source work I need to finance.

1.5 yrs in with 0 work done at Amazon. How much longer will I last?
I joined Amazon 1.5 yrs ago after I was included in Google's layoff. I joined with the intention of doing "nothing", getting free money, and eventually get pip'd. I put in about ~8 hours / week, mostly in meetings. Without exaggeration, I owned 0 kingpin goal (Amazon's goal process), resolved 7 tickets, and delivered 1 automated dashboard that I built using chatGPT in 3 days (but said it took 3 months).

The Ghost starter theme needs a less built out "skeleton" version. I appreciated the example styles when I started experimenting with development, but there's some stuff in here like overly-specific CSS selectors, no BEM, no postcss nesting, and 1rem = 10px that need to be exercised. šŸ‘» šŸ©»

I mothballed mine, downloaded my data, and set it to private. But then they introduced that feature flag that uses our tweets to train grok and set it to on by default. Canā€™t win.
