I got this on Mastodon but worth repeating...

Fun fact about Microsoft Windows: if you type Ctrl-Shift-Alt-Win-L, LinkedIn will open in your default browser. This is an OS hotkey that cannot be turned off.

I know this reads like a joke but it isn't.

Super excited about this! Thanks @JSDayIE ♥️

Ruriko: So when do we register with Chicago?
Me: We don’t.
R: So how does Chicago know everyone who lives in Chicago?
Me: It doesn’t.
R: … Does America have a government? How do you even do population statistics?!
Me: Count every ten years.
R: You ARE TROLLING ME.

Here is a neat API that doesn't mess with your async/await when working with Web Streams.

The first response of fetch() is a Web Stream! Great for logging progress of a large download.

.clone() a stream, then log the progress and then return the original

Future CSS Tip! 🔮

Use :has() to power <form> micro-interactions and theme 😎 No JavaScript. Animations powered by <input> state 🚀

.group:has(:invalid) {
animation: shake 0.5s;
}

form:has(.email:valid):has(.password:valid) .submit {
--color: green;
}

This is why I use "React.useState" instead of importing useState by itself.

Fixing a bug 🐛 is like putting the bottom fitted sheet 🛏.

Every time I fix a corner another one pops up.

Working with repos within repos can get complex & time consuming fast. Git Submodules can help solve some of this, reducing the time you spend dealing with interactions between parent repo and children. Check it out!

@TejanshRana @nialljoemaher Ah no, it looks good. You should be proud of it! Now you have the problem that you'll constantly be coming up with additions and improvements! 😂

@TejanshRana @nialljoemaher Just racking him up! Ready to knock back down! 😂

What do you do when you need to disable a dropdown component that doesn't have a disable function, and you can't change the component itself? Fake it!
