Greetings, programs. This has been a quite excellent weekend so far, and today will be awesome for one reason alone - there's not one dang thing on our calendar. A day with nothing to do is a glorious day indeed. I spent this morning finishing prestige 10 in COD and catching up on my comics ("One World Under Doom" is incredible). Now let's get to the links...

What exactly do I do?

I've had to explain developer advocacy and evangelism for years now, but I absolutely love this explanation by Ashley Willis, "What Is Developer Advocacy (2025 Edition)". In it, she goes into great detail about the job myself, and many of my friends, love, and talks about how the role has changed in the both post-COVID and in the current economic hellscape. (Have I mentioned how happy I am to have a job?) It's a great read and worth your time.

I've shared Josh Comeau links many times here and his ability to explain technical matter with incredibly simple and well-built demos is easily the best in the industry. His Operator Lookup tool is no exception. If you were ever curious about random and unusual JavaScript operators then this tool will explain them in detail. As an example, here's the Logical AND Assignment Operator. That was one I had absolutely zero clue about.

Did You Know CSS Could...

Did you know CSS could style alt text for images? I didn't. Andy Bell goes into great detail about how CSS can be used to style alt text in images with plenty of great examples. Frankly I'm at a point where I think CSS can pretty much do anything.

Just For (Musical) Fun

Ok, this isn't really a fun song, it's actually quite moody and brings up way too many emotions in me, which makes it an incredible song. I play this one almost daily, although I try to avoid if I'm already in anxious/depressed mood.
