        Safari is the new ie from a developer’s POV. But chrome deliberately ignores some w3c standards, much like ie did back in the days, so some comparison could be made

          I used to follow Jen Simmons because she was always informative about recent developments in future and current CSS features, but now she works as a “Safari evangelist” and only posts about features implemented in Safari, and she can’t really “turn it off”. Always like “Safari was first to implement this and that.” Focus on the feature. I can’t use it because yet it’s not in any other browser than a locked-down one that I can’t access or even test on.

          I’ve unfollowed her recently. She contributes nothing constructive to me personally.

            She sounds like an asshole. What an absolute piece of shit of a web browser. It is very much today’s IE.

              I will add that she made a statement on Bluesky where she comes off as a Zionist Apologist. So there’s that to contend with…

              I mean, she’s just doing her job as a Safari evangelist, but I wish she was still with Mozilla doing actually good content made for everyone rather than just Safari users. We lost a good source of palatable information. She’s quite pedagogical. It’s just going to waste right now.

        IE6’s issue was that it kept inventing nonstandard technologies for the whole web to use, forcing any surviving browsers to find ways to emulate them rather than official standards.

        In short, he’s completely correct. —A web developer

        I just had someone on my team work with 3 closely related Google data libraries, basically 3 connectors for the same data churning thingy.

        One was only compatible with Python, the second was only workable in C, and the third was in fucking JRuby.

            Nah, you had to use all 3. It was 3 connectors for different things.

            Our codebase is a mess and I suggested putting “we are not stupid, we just work with Google” into our job ads looking for data engineers proficient with C and JRuby.

              Sometimes Google seems so obsessed with open standards that they not only don’t favor their other projects, their projects often simply won’t support each other.

              I blame the many Google buzz plus chat clients. Google also suffers from a lot of success, they can be complacent about things other companies obsess about.

                My guess is that the Google org culture breeds people who don’t care about the users of their tech one bit.

                Make something that’s fun and interesting for the person making it, release, get promoted, abandon.

                It’s the kind of people I tend to avoid hiring, and for a good reason. Google makes pretty much all its money from search ads, and hasn’t innovated on that in decades.

      Which makes the quote more appropriate, since its preceded by Jules telling telling Marcelus what he wants to hear from him:

      "All I want to hear from yo ass is ‘you ain’t got no problem Jules, Im on the motherfucker, all you gotta do is go in there, chill them N***as out, and wait for the cavalry, which’d be coming directly’

      "All I want to hear from yo ass is ‘you ain’t got no problem Jules, Im on the motherfucker, all you gotta do is go in there, chill them N***as out, and wait for the wolf which’d be coming directly’

      your sending the wolf?

      You feel better motherfucker?

      Shit N*gro, that all you had to say!

      “It’s fine, I use IE6 all the time and it works”

      Good for you, you are contributing to the problem.
