Me today when @aspittel proposed the jokes tag
Yes, please.
The GIF is making me laugh more than the jokes LOL
This joke doesnβt seem ready, you sure itβs not a prototype?
I'm crying...π€£
:cries in arrow functions:
Why did the developer had to quit her job?
Because she didn't get arrays. (β―Β°β‘Β°)β―οΈ΅ β»ββ»
Some jokes are all about context
A good feeling about this I have.
(edited, less annoying gif)
This is the first time Iβve wished to put a tag on a blacklist. ππ¨π»βπ¦³
I donβt follow any specific tags, just enjoy reading across all topics that people post.
If you follow a tag and then give it βnegative weightβ in your dashboard it will help hide this. Weβll have better blacklist tooling in the future
Didnβt know that, thanks!
Yeah, for anyone else that's curious: If you go to dev.to/dashboard/following and give a tag a number like
-100for weight, it will virtually never show up in your feed. The mechanic of first following and then negative is weird and we'll eventually make it more intuitive and discoverable.Can you call it z-index? Or is this a bad place for a css joke?
"this" is a triumph.
I'm making a note here, huge success.
Jokes undergoing settings
Hahaha!!
Now ... I'm throw up my laptop! ππ
Finally! This is the first tag I'm following.

Funny, that's how I feel when Not using JavaScript
Sometimes?
Hahahaha! Awesome!
