@saycheeselouise and I discussing whether to go swimming or spa at the motel we're staying at:

Louise: I'll do whatever you want to do
Me, suggestively: where would you draw the line?
Louise: Bitcoin

@mattpocockuk I feel like I'm faster with TS even when I'm working on my own on the smallest of projects. Type inference is so good that I barely have to think about types most of the time 😌

[Brad Christensen 🦋 @BradC]

@eilishsilie It does struggle a bit in the winter on damp grass so I'd recommend a gruntier version if your lawn is any bigger than ours

[Brad Christensen 🦋 @BradC]

@eilishsilie We have the smallest battery powered Ryobi lawnmower you can get and it works great for our tiny backyard! It's quite cheap/plasticky looking but also really small and light so no real complaints

@cutaway_cafe @RusselNorman @jacktame I'm not gonna lie, after clicking around on that website for a bit there were a lot more red flags that caused me to dismiss the article than just its URL. If it has any credibility it will find its way to a more reputable outlet I'm sure 😊

[Brad Christensen 🦋 @BradC]

@cutaway_cafe @RusselNorman @jacktame Ah yes, I too get all my trusted news from https://t.co/FKjkcpsMut

@brillout @RelevantElement Hits the right notes for me 🫡

[Brad Christensen 🦋 @BradC]

@brillout @RelevantElement As an existing user that one just stood out for me - foundation feels more accurate & descriptive than framework. Although from a non-user perspective I wonder whether it'd be confusing if you were expecting to see the word framework in there somewhere! 😅 Naming is hard...

[Brad Christensen 🦋 @BradC]

@mattpocockuk I don't understand this take - pre-commit hooks aren't distributed with the repo automatically (are they?) so they need to be installed somehow, making them inherently opt-in? Is it the likes of husky (install hooks on npm install) that you're against?

[Brad Christensen 🦋 @BradC]

@tompahoward @mattpocockuk In GitHub you can configure your repo to require branches to be up to date with main before a PR is allowed to be merged

[Brad Christensen 🦋 @BradC]

@mattpocockuk An observation from our experience is that tools always seem to have a strong focus on building _everything at once_ and the escape hatches to skip things feel like an afterthought

[Brad Christensen 🦋 @BradC]

@mattpocockuk I've been using the project references option + a tool to keep tsconfigs synced with package.jsons for some time, but we skip the root-level tsconfig - our use case is to build a service/app as-needed but with all relevant library dependencies tsc'd automatically

[Brad Christensen 🦋 @BradC]

@mattpocockuk I was hoping you were going to explain why this is! Do you think it's because with querySelector you could technically limit it to a particular kind of tag, which would give you some assurance that the type wouldn't change at runtime?

[Brad Christensen 🦋 @BradC]

@CrisisCloud Yeah I'd heard the same thing! I didn't realise they sold so fast until I had a look recently too. Hot demand 🔥 We have a 2017 Leaf, which I still love, although has about half the range of the Kona so I'm sometimes tempted by the idea of an upgrade 👀

[Brad Christensen 🦋 @BradC]

@CrisisCloud Haha well you definitely want that to be working. Great choice - the range of the Kona is insane and it'll be worth the wait!

[Brad Christensen 🦋 @BradC]

@CrisisCloud 💯! May I ask what'd you get? 🤓

[Brad Christensen 🦋 @BradC]

@CrisisCloud

[Brad Christensen 🦋 @BradC]

@eilishsilie The RGB really sets it off 🤌🔥

[Brad Christensen 🦋 @BradC]

@KiwiEV Is this Te Kuiti? If so, highly recommend the new Z one just down the road! Super annoying though.

[Brad Christensen 🦋 @BradC]

@SachaCoburn @saycheeselouise Just checked the Microsoft docs and I see they are recommending Parallels these days too, so sounds like that's the way to go (regardless of how old the MacBook is, I'm sure that will be the best/easiest experience)

[Brad Christensen 🦋 @BradC]

@SachaCoburn @saycheeselouise I have heard Parallels is very good so would probably recommend that! I've used Bootcamp to dual-boot Windows, which works great, but my MacBook is 12 years old, and I'm not sure that's an option on the new Macs with M1/M2 CPUs anymore 😅
