Hey, I made a gallery of the things I've made while breaking Firefox's rendering code! Check it out!

RT @Gankra_: finally setup a bsky (gankra).

finally setup a bsky (gankra).

So to force myself to take some proper time to figure stuff out, I'm stepping down from my role and leaving axo. I'll probably want a new job in a couple months, but in the meantime if you want my rad job, it's available and will be posted soon - msg ashley@axo.dev to learn more.

Combined with changes in my personal life, I realized I need to take a sabbatical for a few months to figure out the next step in my career/life. Unfortunately, at a company this small, there's not a lot of room to disappear for months and not be nagging myself to just work.

Recently realized I've been hopping from job to job for over half my life, without really taking a break to evaluate where I want my career to end up. I joined axo as an engineer, but quickly stepped into more of a leadership role, which has made me more reflective of that.

i have once again fallen to my vices: trying to explain some small technical thing and having it spiral way out of control until i'm conflating release engineering with Doing A Gender and decide to announce another transition via my work's developer comms.

periodic reminder that "animated color svg fonts" were a real thing that firefox actually shipped support for (now removed). (still live at but need firefox from like 2018 to see anything)

RT @workingjubilee: getting devs to document their API.

ITS MIDNIGHT TIME FOR ANOTHER "ARIA WROTE 5000 WORDS ABOUT HOW COMPILERS ARE BAD" ADVENTURE

Is there a blessed idiom in npm-land for "binary with two different names"? Ideally such that 'npx' and 'npm install -g' both expose both names. Can think of several solutions, but figure I might as well check if there's a "right" way.

RT @axodotdev: 📣 cargo-dist 0.13.0 is out!. - ⬆️ cargo dist selfupdate.- 🧹 cleanups to the dist-manifest format. 💓 thanks so much to @ucode….

oh this rules! cargo-insta is like one of my favourite devtools to (ab)use. like 50% of cargo-dist's testing is insta snapshots haha.

RT @thingskatedid: language standards are fanfiction for implementations.
