The most disregarded principle of Software Architecture is extremely simple:
Code that change together should stay together.
Is this still the best (only?) way?
Maybe fetch expert @jaffathecake has a trick...
ALT document.body.appendChild($iframe) document.body.appendChild($form) $form.submit() document.body.removeChild($form)
Ran smaller stuff on @UpCloud for years. Great overall, but today someone bought a small network-layer DDoS.
- They pulled the cable
- Did not say a word about it
- Said I was responsible and that it was preventable
- The support was incoherent and irrational

If you offer public IPv4 addresses for an application-level service, you have the responsibility of the network-layer, either assume responsibility for mitigating DDoS attacks or clearly inform people about this deficiency.
I have no reason to believe this attack was aimed at my service and it may very well have been targeting @UpCloud.
According to IPv6 adoption, it's the holiday season now 😔

An underrated benefit of writing functional JavaScript is not having to deal with the frustration of mocking in unit tests.
My repos are in captivity at @github and support tickets aren't answered 😤
Three credit cards declined, you can't pay, only add a card which works, meaning I can try once a day 🤦♂️
Why don't we have native try-catch-style "filtered catch" for promises in Javascript (bluebirdjs.com/docs/api/catc…)?
I still import Bluebird for this and "join", but the latter is easy in user-land. @domenic @jaffathecake

The biggest web UX improvement right now would be to let browsers take care of this “can we track you via cookies?” issue – similar to how they already handle privacy-sensitive features such as location data and notifications.
Getting used to ES symbols, I write more data structures like linked lists because they are more intuitive and convenient than an array.

Opinionated take: Class inheritance, getters and setters makes your modules overly complex and hard to debug. Should have complicated syntax to discourage use, ES6 made it too easy.

Great read on telephone phobia, lack of authentication and the inefficiency of synchronous communication: jameshfisher.com/2017/11/08/…
Could `sum(a, b) => a + b` be short for `const sum = (a, b) => a + b` in #javascript? Why not?
No thanks. I can prioritize my inbox just fine without your help, @Cloudflare. Please don't, ever.. #douchebag
