What a trip. I just found this old photo. It was taken in Barcelona circa 2014. The four of us here were all speakers at a conference called Webvisions.

I’m sitting next to the legendary @leaverou@front-end.social, whose name was unfamiliar to me at the time. Now, of course, I and many other front-end developers know her name. Or at least should.

Hi, Lea! 👋🏻 Your talk was rad!

Also at the table is accessibility advocate @brucelawson@vivaldi.net!

I think this was in the basement of the hotel where the speakers were staying.

I’ve never been a Digital Ocean customer. But they’re really taking a nose dive right now.

First, they offer healthy financial support for the fascist Linux project, otherwise known as Omarchy. Now they’re killing one of the best CSS resources around, @csstricks@mastodon.social.

How are they killing it? Well, they’re giving SO much money to fascism that they can no longer afford the small potatoes of a CSS community knowledge base.

As @eric@social.ericwbailey.website points out, so many of us front-end developers are indebted to CSS Tricks. The authors there have been invaluable to my own skillset.

It’s painful to see this kind of thing happening. I hate fascism and death by capitalism.
