    Today for Ben’s homeschooling handwriting exercise, Kate gave him the word “fort”

    This has proven to be a mistake, as Ben insists that he writes “fart” instead.

    I’m trying to be an adult here, but I can’t stop giggling.

    I shared a blog post a few weeks ago on how I built ⁦@DFS_Web⁩’s website in a “nearly headless” fashion. I’m going to talk about that extensively in this talk. Hope to see you there! meetup.com/thejavascriptc…

    Do I know anyone living near the Adirondacks?

    Sorry to everyone in Texas. It seems the weather freaking followed us.

    What’s your “Z index that’s absolutely higher than anything else” number?

    Mine is 9001, just so I can say it’s over 9000.

    Does that date me? Can memes make you look old now? Shit.

    On Automattic’s announcement:

    It’s going to be okay.

    This is nothing new. They’ve been building sites for clients for a while, including at this price point. They’ve simply done it though another company instead of directly offering it.
    🧵👇 We already have big companies competing with us now, like Wix, and we’re still here. This is just another big generalist company coming in doing the same crap we’ve seen a million times over.

    I believe we can still win in the same areas in which we have always won.

    Looking back this holiday season, I:

    Rebuilt Alexstandiford.com

    Built the @DFS_Web quiz app

    Built the @DFS_Web documentation portal, and added a fair amount of content

    No shame for resting over the holiday, but it feels good to actually finish things.

    I’m really excited to announce that you can now get an instant estimate for a project on @DFS_Web.

    This is a big step for DFS, and I’m REALLY excited about it.

    PLEASE. STOP USING SLIDERS ON YOUR WEBSITE. THEY MAKE MOBILE EXPERIENCES TERRIBLE.
