This *is* cool, but does anyone else remember the time when "built in a week" was a red flag?

Lately it's used as testament as to validate and justify.

I don't deny it's impressive. It…just doesn't sit in the right spot for *me* when it's anything other than a scrappy tool or prototype.

RE: mastodon.social/@firefoxwebdev

I’ve been talking about how JavaScript should have this for about a decade. I’ve literally even used that exact method name on podcast appearances.

So cool to see this coming to be!

Still nowhere near enough browser support to “throw away innerHTML” though.

The anti-Big-Tech movement isn't a trend, it's a correction. Our societies spent 20 years accepting surveillance capitalism as normal. And now, we're slowly remembering we have choices.

Sure, switching browsers is a small thing. But small rebellions are how everything big begins, or so we like to believe. 🤞

If you think about those around you, have you noticed an increased awareness lately about what's behind the tech they use?

PSA: If you block the `claude` user on GitHub, you'll get a warning every time you view a repo with that user in its commit history.

Now, the moment you look at a repo, you can immediately adjust your expectations.

You may do so here: github.com/settings/blocked_us

The FDA decided not to even review Moderna's mRNA flu vaccines for approval, even though the studies the FDA would be reviewing were conducted the way the FDA told Moderna to do them.

Now #Moderna expects that none of its other #mRNA #vaccines will be reviewed, and has halted studies on vaccines for EBV, HSV, and shingles.

A lot of people with herpes would be angry if they found out.

A lot of people who have family members with #MS -- now thought to be caused in part by EBV -- will be livid.

Screenshot of a post on X/Twitter by @LeahLibresco, dated Feb 12 2026:

"Moderna’s CEO announced the company will no longer invest in new Phase 3 vaccine trials for infectious diseases: ‘You cannot make a return on investment if you don’t have access to the U.S. market.’ Vaccines for Epstein-Barr virus, herpes, and shingles have been shelved.”

Anyone telling you “both parties are too extreme” with a straight face is whether a liar or an idiot.

Both parties suck. Only one is extreme (unless you mean “extremely useless”).
