Its proponents can be weird, it takes itself far too seriously, and its
documentation is interminable. These are some ways that some people have
described Christianity. This video is about React.js.
What have Kanye West, Zombie Flesh Eaters, bees, and Potato Review magazine got
to do with Large Language Models and generative AI? I don’t know, why don't you
ask ChatGPT? Or save a polar icecap and just watch this video.
All accessibility overlays are bad. Except the ones by overlay vendors planning
to sue me. Those ones are good and I highly recommend them, despite what I may
say during the video. If someone is asking for an accessibility overlay, either
send them here or to overlayfactsheet.com [https://overlayfactsheet.com].
This video is dedicated to all those with an astonishingly enduring faith in
tech billionaires and their products. And to all those who begin their updates
with “Dear...” like they are writing a letter to an absent editor.
People say self-documenting code is not possible. This is not true. Not only is
it possible but it is recommended, in all cases. As I explain. In this video.
Contains some flickering images.
You’re rendering your entire DOM in the client using a huge JavaScript library.
Which type of loading indicator are your users going to be staring at? Contains
some flickering images.
There isn’t really much to say, so this is a rather short video. If you are
interested in buying the NFT of this video… only kidding, nobody trades NFTs
anymore. Contains some flickering images.
Why do we keep screwing up the simplest parts of web interfaces? Are we bored or
psychotic? Answers on a postcard, please (do not send it to me). This video is
the story of how inputs became onputs then became something even less logical
and more bad. Good luck!
It’s been a long time! Glad to be back. In this episode, I ask a question that
has never been asked before and has certainly not in any way caused a great
number of arguments and nobody has ever been blocked or muted on social media
for asking it. Bon appétit.

Time for another brief interlude. Open Collective supporters should check their
inbox for a 20 minute mix of the generative music used in the piece. I hope you
are able to start emerging from this pandemic and relatively unscathed. Visuals

Created for and premiered at Web Directions’ [https://www.webdirections.org/]
Hover conference. Discover all the different ways you can draw lines with the
web platform—from horizontal rules all the way to WebGL. Actually “discover” is
the wrong word, since I’m pointing you right at the damned video OK.
Time for a brain massage! In between the educational stuff, Webbed Briefs
includes ephemeral and experimental stuff. You can watch and listen or just
listen or just—you get the idea. The music is generative, created using
randomized triggers and LFOs, some written in JavaScript.
This is the story of the birth of the web, its loss of innocence, its decline,
and what we can do to make it a bit less gross. Or if you prefer, this is the
video in which I say the expression “barbecue sets” far too many times.
Progressive enhancement is Scary Mary™ to some but there is no need to cry or
pass out. Let me use a shark in a fez, Tony Hawk, and a couple of zombie lads to
explain. Shout out to my pal Andy whose skateboard/scooter analogy

borrowed. Also, check out [https://github.com/Heydon/watched-box].
In this inaugural episode, I talk about some common pitfalls of using ARIA with
the help of Ada Lovelace, a goat, and a dinosaur with a for a head.
Thanks to everyone who shared this and for all the nice comments. Those comments
about it being NSFW confused me, though. It’s not porn!?
