Pragmatism is tainted by being contrasted with perfectionism.Pragmatism is balancing trade-offs and then making the hard choices. Not: taking the easy route, consequences be damned.

Today is my last day at Inrupt! I am very excited about what the future is going to bring, but I will also fondly look back on my time here.If there's one thing I will miss, it's the fine people I got to work with: both my wonderful colleagues at Inrupt, and the wider Solid community: @Zwifi, @noeldemartin, @michielbdejong, and a whole bunch of people not on the Fediverse.

I'm very proud to have been able to work on a library that will play a central role in many Solid apps. I am pretty happy with how it turned out, which is not something I can say about everything I've ever worked on 😅 It's true though: solid-client is *very* extensively tested, so far has not had unplanned breaking changes, and has an API that I think works well when writing Solid apps.

In fact, I experienced that solid-client works well first-hand, when using it in my spare time to build what I'm proud to consider a vital tool for Solid app developers: Penny.https://penny.vincenttunru.com...which brings me to #ProjectSolid: the enthusiasm around it is fantastic, and even in my life-after-Inrupt I would love to see it succeed.Which means that yes, I'll try to stay involved, keep maintaining Penny, keep empowering people building on top of it.

I also want to continue seeing the Solid community grow beyond the limited demographic it used to represent, and to support the fantastic initiatives that have been and will be started that help make this happen. To make this work for everyone, we need to involve everyone.

Anyway, it's been a great ride, and I want to thank everyone who made it so. I'm very much looking forward to seeing what will become of both Solid and Inrupt.And if anyone wants to discuss anything Solid, get in touch!

My perfect employer:- aligns with my ideals,- makes products I'm personally excited to use, and- has competent colleagues.There's always been one organisation in particular that always seemed to me to tick all those boxes, so I'm very excited that, starting tomorrow, I'll be joining Mozilla!

There's two ways to learn abstract tools.There's rote learning: if I do this, this happens. This'll get you started.But real understanding happens when you form a mental model of the tool.Sounds obvious, yet so many engineers use Git every day only knowing `git commit -am`.(Of course, this is where I should plug my tutorial that helps you form a mental model of Git in ~11 minutes: https://agripongit.vincenttunru.com/)

I cracked my phone's screen 😢 However, it's a @Fairphone, so I just replaced the screen with that of a friend's old Fairphone. Took me all of five minutes 😎

@twylo Well, you've got the Framework!(Though to be fair I expect that to be available in the EU before the Fairphone becomes available in the US.)

The Storybook team is doing very cool work. Really hoping we'll get plug-and-play Next.js integration soon.https://storybook.js.org/blog/interaction-testing-with-storybook/

Working in a distributed team has its challenges, but I do appreciate the structure in my day imposed by limited timezone overlap.I start my day catching up on emails and chat messages, followed by code reviews so that they're ready when my colleagues start their day. I can then do some focused jamming on my own work, and end the day with meetings.

Why did nobody tell me about Consent-O-Matic? It's a browser extension that automatically clicks on GDPR consent dialogs to indicate that you do not consent to your data being shared. Available for all major browsers.https://github.com/cavi-au/Consent-O-Matic/#introduction

Anyone know of an app or extension for @gnome that can display the keys you press on screen?

So we recently received a pull request on Firefox Relay that was clearly not written by a human. How could we tell? Well, there were some red flags...

Useful trick shared by @dveditz: when debugging Content Security Policy issues, you can get some helpful information in the console using document.body.addEventListener( "securitypolicyviolation", (e) => { console.log(e) } )For more info, see https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/SecurityPolicyViolationEvent#CSP #CORS

You ever feel like you really should read privacy policies sometimes, just to know what you're agreeing to?Well, good news: there's no need.Because it wouldn't have helped anyway:> “Practically all of the privacy policies we looked at used qualifying language when listing the data points they collect. Words like ‘such as,’ ‘including,’ or ‘etc.’ tell us we are only getting a sample of what is collected and not the full picture.”https://foundation.mozilla.org/en/privacynotincluded/articles/what-data-does-my-car-collect-about-me-and-where-does-it-go/
