@Tweetistaaan Yah, I felt bad leaving everyone hanging there. Webpack 5 is still great, I would just take Rollup for libraries I'm creating if it's between the both of them.

[Jimmy Cleveland @JimmyDCleveland]

@luketbnam Thank you, that is kind of you to say.
I had some grand ambitions for the rollup video, but it ended up taking longer than I had time for lately. I've had to put the videos on hold for a bit, but I'm hopeful to get back to them someday soon.

@kyleshevlin Sometimes I do the silly thing of just writing what to do next right in the middle of my code so I have an easy error to fix that reminds me what I was in the middle of.

Not the same, but similar reasoning.

This is a nice VS Code feature to enable if you are switching between working indoors and outdoors.

Switching your system preferences to light mode when you want to enjoy the lovely weather is also something I wish I realized sooner.

Don't sleep on anything Josh creates.
He has some of the highest value content I've encountered in web dev. The attention and thought put into every post and course is humbling.

[Jimmy Cleveland @JimmyDCleveland]

Copilot always gaslighting me with comments that my code is "a bit of a hack".

[Jimmy Cleveland @JimmyDCleveland]

@jayphelps I think about this idea a lot and how many burdens could be lifted from teams while also providing great teaching scenarios for skilling up everyone involved.

[Jimmy Cleveland @JimmyDCleveland]

@dmikester1 @wesbos Really an underrated pick.

[Jimmy Cleveland @JimmyDCleveland]

Communicating knowledge insecurities in code comments is underrated.

Its easy to assume that I knew more about the code I wrote than I actually did.

Simply coming across a: "I am not really sure what I'm doing here" can be great context for deciding what changes to make.

[Jimmy Cleveland @JimmyDCleveland]

@StephenPHassall Thank you!

[Jimmy Cleveland @JimmyDCleveland]

@stefanjudis Had no idea.

[Jimmy Cleveland @JimmyDCleveland]

Nice and concise comparisons of some modern CSS options with simple, consistent, examples.

These types of posts are so valuable, and it really can't be overstated how thoughtfully put together the examples are.

I also appreciate the takeaway at the end. Thanks, Josh.

[Jimmy Cleveland @JimmyDCleveland]

@crutchcorn I learned about your work from the lovely @syntaxfm podcast you did. Really fantastic stuff, thank you for all your contributions and excellent content.

I missed this talk by @JoshWComeau a year ago, and it is quite good.

Lots of great mental model shifts that I wish were taught this well when I started with CSS.

Thank you, @jimniels for the article nodding me in the direction of this talk!

@GaborPfalzer Thank you for the nod, and always cool to hear the video was useful. Great resources.

[Jimmy Cleveland @JimmyDCleveland]

@JoshWComeau Nice. Looking forward to it.

@endingwithali I used to think I coded a lot more than I do before I started seriously time tracking for myself. 5-6 is a my average max these days, but 4 is pretty common.

I have seen that those numbers are very influenced by whether I'm learning a lot of new things or doing familiar patterns
