I am once again busy handcoding data on autocrats educational and professional lives. That means it's time for a new series: Dictators When They Were Kids! Hoping to post one a day. First, the king of Cambodia (more of a symbolic monarch-diplomat actually).

Still handcoding data, so I'm still posting "better know a dictator." This week we have Zia-Ul-Haq (right) of Pakistan, who wore a little suit to this photo shoot.

I did it the dumb way but eventually realized that instead of handcoding movement in the four cardinal directions you can just rotate the map four times #adventofcode

After several months of handcoding public data from lawyer directories, Wayback Machine archives, state bar associations, news reports, and LinkedIn, I present: here is what happened to every associate, counsel, and partner at every American Dewey & LeBoeuf office.

i started using cursor a few days ago. it's a tool, not a genie. after it broke core functionality trying to add stuff, we've had hours of chasing our tails. this is one of cursor-claude's architectural missteps, something that stranded us in fix-one-break-two hell. handcoding is

@handcoding Awesome, thanks! It does seem to work :) . The text for the heading is not there but this may work to at least find the headings :)

Was handcoding a website the other day if any1 was wondering why no posts. I'm back to study on tuesday really looking forward to it tbh. #Webdesign #uiuxdesign

Yeah webflow/wordpress/carrd is cool but handcoding your website with lo-fi music hits different.

Here we debate modules versus snippets for #emailmarketing but are we really debating handcoding versus drag & drop?

dejavu to handcoding opencv filters.

Find out if you can really get away with WYSIWYG #emailmarketing designs or if handcoding is the only way

nobody ever wants to chainsmoke while handcoding a website these days.

@handcoding 🫡.

I'm not much of a coder; even back in the 90s when I was handcoding my own websites, it was mostly a matter of pasting together scripts I found elsewhere and hammering on them until they worked. And I don't *want* to be a coder; I'm a storyteller/artist, and that's where my duty.

I'm handcoding every abstract in AJS, ASR, and AEJR from 1965-2019. It's striking how sociologists tend to study education as a black box for X or Y effects rather than as a social location in its own right; in contrast, much more interest in what happens within organizations.

Oh you know, I know why I’m happy? It’s because I’m reclaiming my website from the soulless procession of CMSes and Wordpress clones. I’m going back to the handcoding days, except with Python and LLM assistance.

@handcoding We appreciate the feedback.

Any online design portfolio templates/sites people recommend? Not looking forward to handcoding. #design.

chatgpt and copilot is so good i'm gonna start handcoding my code.
