Make it real

Ideas are cheap. Make a prototype, sketch a CLI session, draw a wireframe. Discuss around concrete examples, not hand-waving abstractions. Don't say you did something, provide a URL that proves it.

Ship it

Nothing is real until it's being used by a real user. This doesn't mean you make a prototype in the morning and blog about it in the evening. It means you find one person you believe your product will help and try to get them to use it.

Do it with style

У CSS есть несколько базовых проблем, которые позволяют очень быстро отстрелить себе ногу при неправильном использовании:

1. Глобальный неймспейс – в серверном программировании все что написано в файле, в файле и остается. Все же что написано в css и js засирает глобальное пространство имен со всеми вытекающими. В JS эту проблему сейчас побороли всякими модульными системами, а вот с css сложнее. В идеальном мире это должен починить Shadow DOM и настоящие Web Components, но пока их нет единственный способ с этим бороться – следовать какой-то системе именований селекторов, которая по возможности уменьшает и исключает возможные конфликты.

2. Каскадность – если на один элемент может сработать несколько правил, то они все и сработают последовательно. Если есть элемент h1.title, на него сработают все правила для тегов h1 и все правила для класса .title. Так как весь html состоит из тегов, то правил которые п

Twitter abuses all media file uploads, each type in its own way. If we want to upload a good looking animation loop from some low-color, high-detail generative art, we have to game their system's mechanisms.

• don't upload a video file, they will re-encode it into absolute 💩

• create a GIF, which they will auto-convert into a video file 😱

• The frames of the GIF will be resized to an even-sized width using an extremely naive algorithm. Your GIF should be an even size (1000, 2000,
