Since I got used to Web Components, the Shadow DOM and a few quirks and design patterns, I got rid of React, Vue, Babel and the alike. Frontend coding is now simpler, fun and lean! And fueled by web standards supported in every modern browser. 😍 As an example, my retrogipuzkoa.com has exactly *zero* dependencies.

Fig.io (a next gen terminal emulator) asks for full access to my public and private repos on GitHub. I’m reluctant to provide such a sensitive access to a terminal window, no matter how much steroids it comes with.

The way social platforms fetches web documents metadata is messy: There seems to be no standard <meta> tag for sharing a poster (card). So LinkedIn expects an Open Graph (og:img) property, while Twitter seeks for their own custom markup. Redundant.

About shells and terminals: I switched to zsh and oh-my-zsh after many years using bash. Very happy so far. On my Mac I use iTerm2 as a terminal emulator. So far so good, but thinking about giving Fig or Warp a test drive. They seem next generation. Anyone willing to share an experience?
