This is my conversational account. For my work follow @ribbonfarm, @breaking_smart, @artofgig. Tweets are 90% vacuous views, apathetically held. Mediocritopian.

      State of trying to update website building skills for the first time since 2009 1. Trying to do simple table-like layouts using divs/css is a Mars mission. I give up. 2. Did a hello-world in Gatsby. Going beyond basics is like going to Moon. I give up. 3. Gutenberg is gut.

      Did you know there was a secret conspiracy in the tech world making it nearly impossible to do anything that looks vaguely like it wants to be 2d without spending 6 months or thousands of dollars? Only 1-d website building for us proles.

      An Event Apart @aneventapart
      We’re standing at the threshold of an entirely new era in digital design—one in which, rather than hacking layouts together, we can actually describe layouts directly. Our new video features @jensimmons sharing her visionary talk from AEA Orlando 2018. https://aneventapart.com/news/post/everything-you-know-about-web-design-just-changed-by-jen-simmons …

      sorry — you said Gutenberg is "gut" so I wondered what you meant by that :-D I'm assuming it was a typo for "good"?
