It's so funny, National was agreeing with no new roads a couple of weeks ago and now they are back to banging on the same ol drum. I guess we're just going to burn gas until we run out?

@spavel.bsky.social Loved your post: "No amount of velocity can shield your team from opportunity cost". Brilliant analysis.

If you run a product and you have customers who’ve been with you for 10+ years, wouldn’t you give them a special rate instead of jacking it up to the maximum without any warning?!

What the heck, @digitalocean.com ?
i’ve never had an account on @digitalocean.com and i’m glad. i also never will. scummy company gonna be scummy. CSS Tricks was the first web blog I ever read, back when @chriscoyier.net ran it. I won’t forget what DO has done to the site that’s helped make me want to be a dev. DO better fix this.
I hadn't posted over on the second channel in a while now, but I felt that it was important to talk about what's going on with @digitalocean.com and @css-tricks.bsky.social as the site has now gone quiet for a second time.

An NFL team owner (who explicitly supports Israel) reacting so negatively to the phrase "Free Palestine" tells you all you need to know about Billionaires. And at how disgusting our world has become, politically.

I get the feeling once someone gets power they can't resist the urge to grab more. (replace "power" with "money" for a fun game.)
