Bruh the harry potter theme song scared the shit out of me as it turned itself on. Bad UX for a personal site. Great article btw !


Where can one be whimsical and fun if not for a personal site?


sorry, i added it to set the mood for my site :') yk, like moving lamps at the top, hanging dementor at the right side (only visible on desktops).

should i remove it?


absolutely not! it is a delightful source of whimsy on an increasingly uniform web


Middle ground: make it respect `prefers-reduced-motion` :)


No, it's your playground. My podcast was talking about the music the guest was making and I thought he was playing something Potter related.


>should i remove it?

there is no place for fun, whimsy, moods, or personalization on the web. sorry.

(no, at least not at the request of random internet stranger #10545346)


Around here, many people have their sense of humor, removed, during their first colonoscopy.

I joke, anyway, and bear the downvotes. Totally worth it.


NEVER PURGE YOUR WHIMSY.


No, it made me laugh.


I used developer tools to delete the dementor, then I muted the site when it started playing music.


might as well "curl https://citizendot.github.io/articles/fake-job-interview-git..." and read the output :')


I liked it. I wondered where the music was coming from initially, but I liked it.


Nah, keep it. It's your site and that's where you get to have fun!


Nah, it's fine! I just muted the tab, no big deal


yes
