   It is a nice mini-blog, it's for free and such but

   As a mini-blog, it is a nice alternative for Medium to publish and share information about programming.

   However, the community and the organization are biased toward social justice (and they are open to it). You can read its Code of Conduct, it is so vague and politically leads (I prefer a term of service because it defines fair rules for everybody). So it alienates developers that we don't care about politics in pro of people that want to talk about any other topic such as sexuality, how women are unprivileged, and such. It even mandates to use inclusive language. Good grief.

   My main complaint is the quality of the community. It is not StackOverflow (so we don't want to ask for an answer here), and most of the top topics are clickbait, such as "how to become a rockstar developer in ... days", "100 tips to become a better programmer" (and it doesn't even talk about programming).

   Technically this "mini blog" site allows us to use markdown, and it is okay. However, the whole experience is really basic. Even the template is ugly.

• How are these blurry background animations made?? (GSAP?)

  It’s called a mesh gradient and there are some generators for it if you want to take an easy route. For example https://meshgradient.com/. Source: about 3 years ago

• How do I make images like this?

  If you want a bit more control and want to set your own colours, you can try meshgradient.com. It's free and the final image is exported as a high-resolution PNG. Source: over 3 years ago

• Is there a name for the moving soft gradient backgrounds? I've seen it on a lot of crypto/startup sites recently.

  You can download gradients, make them yourself with design software or gradient generators, and then animate them using basic CSS—Partiful uses a 12 second linear animation that basically scrolls a static gradient image. Source: over 3 years ago

• Is this a type of gradient? What is it called and how can I learn how to reproduce?

  Mesh gradient - I use this site to create the CSS needed https://meshgradient.com/. Source: over 3 years ago

• Woof Are You, Really? A Dog Personality Quiz Built in a Weekend

  This is a tiny, silly personality quiz built for the DEV.to Weekend Doggos challenge. Answer questions about your Saturday mornings, your feelings on doorbells, and your ideal compliment — and find out which dog breed you truly are today. (Not forever. Today. Check back tomorrow, you might be a different dog.). - Source: dev.to / about 14 hours ago

• Stop Arguing About Which Model Is Best. Build a Two-Tier Habit Instead.

  Verifiable only with effort. Anything touching the filesystem, package installs, CI config, database changes. Wrongness here is quiet and expensive. These get the strongest model I have and a sandboxed dry run before anything executes. I wrote a separate piece on dry-running assistant-written shell commands because this category keeps hurting people. - Source: dev.to / 2 days ago

• Your first Fitz LiveViews component, twice: SSR and WASM from one source

  In part 1 I made the pitch: real-time UI in one language, no JavaScript build. Now let's build something and ship it two ways from the same source. - Source: dev.to / 9 days ago
