@Daojoan he’s totally falling for the ass-kissing.
@ramsey @carnage4life One doesn't take an unpaid internship, it's just a scam that shouldn't be legal.
A company that unwilling to invest in the wellbeing of its labor is making its priorities clear.

@lispi314 @carnage4life I agree with you. I’m not saying they shouldn’t be paid. What I’m concerned about is whether Amazon is paying them when they say they’re hiring 11,000 of them.
I don't want to dismiss the hard work that people are doing to make the web platform more cohesive. And of course competing interests and priorities will always make the web "lumpy": https://paul.kinlan.me/the-lumpy-web/
But still, as a web developer, it's exhausting. This site doesn't even cover @font-face, ARIA IDref, submit buttons in forms, focus libraries, browser extensions, styling… the list goes on and on. When you work with shadow DOM, you're opting into pain.
I *really* look forward to using shadow DOM in, like, ~3-5 years after all this stuff has been ironed out. In the meantime, its advocates are doing true heroics to harmonize it with the rest of the web platform. But it's really a slog, and it's hard for me to remember fondly all the effort I put into getting basic stuff to work across shadow boundaries

Today is May Day, and lots of us are withholding labor and capital from the system. But do you know why we celebrate #MayDay?
May Day, or International Workers’ Day, commemorates the 1886 Haymarket Affair in Chicago. During a rally in Haymarket Square supporting workers striking for an eight-hour workday, an unknown person threw a bomb at police, killing one. Police opened fire, killing four civilians and injuring dozens.
Eight anarchist labor leaders were arrested despite no evidence linking them to the bomb. Seven were sentenced to death; four were hanged in 1887, one committed suicide in jail, and three were pardoned in 1893 by Governor Altgeld, who called the trial a miscarriage of justice.
The Haymarket Affair fueled anti-labor and anti-immigrant sentiment in the U.S. while galvanizing the international labor movement.
In 1889, the Second International designated May 1 as International Workers’ Day to commemorate the event, linking it to May Day protests worldwide.

｢ The innovation was never about design, it was about collusion: spend enough to ensure that regulatory enforcement costs more; spin enough to make theft look heroic. With Y-Combinator as a launchpad, the company rapidly built its business by systematically ignoring well-established regulations in hospitality and real estate. This sounds like a perfect match for the Trump Administration, and it’s why I cannot take any of Gebbia’s commitments now at face value ｣

Just discovered this excellent resource about which CSS features work well in shadow DOM and which don't: https://shadow-dom-css.adobe.com/
Honestly this is the part I miss least about working with web components. It broke so many parts of the web platform, and plenty of new web APIs seem to be just plowing ahead and hoping "somebody will figure out this shadow DOM stuff later"

@lispi314 @carnage4life Aren’t interns often unpaid?

A 21-year-old vulnerability in PHP, quietly waiting in the codebase like a forgotten variable never cleaned up. 🕰️
Some bugs don't expire — they just wait for someone curious enough to dig. The MAD Bugs research is a lovely reminder that legacy code deserves fresh eyes.
Patience: the original threat vector. #infosec #CVE #PHP
