@jon_neal Is your point here that you shouldn't include your site name at the end of "og:title", or am I missing a deeper concept?

@Netlify Couldn't you have just asked me to disable my VPN before banning me from your service? 😂

Android development on a Mac can be torture for one specific reason: The emulators make your system audio sound like trash.

In this blog post, I offer a solution to this problem so you can get back to enjoying music while you code.

React Native devs: Are you seeing errors saying the Hermes Engine is missing from your iOS project or that CocoaPods cannot find a compatible version.

@OneJKMolina The biggest benefit of a physical mouse is accuracy/precision.

The biggest benefit of a trackpad is that your fingers are still basically on the keyboard.

Choose the right tool for the situation. 🤷‍♂️

@math_dandy @AdamRackis Remember when io.js briefly existed because NodeJS was moving so slowly on new features?

If only it was that easy with browsers.

@ImSh4yy @justanthonylee Without reading the text, I'm not sure I'd understand the second one.

It's unclear that the white line is the max, and the end of the bar is the actual usage. I would probably think it was the opposite.

@NithurM Oh, well I know you said "not dev tools", but just in case you didn't notice, it also lets you create custom devices with custom dimensions.

You'd just need to figure out the screen dimensions/user-agent, then you can add any device you'd like.

@kenwheeler That's a pretty great way to sum up modern society.

@tdinh_me @phuctm97 A less ideal, but easier option would be to add a hover tool-tip that informs the user that it can be disabled in the settings.

@dougmoscrop @bcantrill It's so strange how Facebook's apps are absolutely terrible and have driven me away from using any of them, but yet they seem to have built half the open-source projects I use. 😂

Apple's dev site has a form with broken validation. Rather than fix it in any remotely coherent manner, they just accept what you typed after you submit the form 6 times.

It originally started out as 3 times, but every couple years they increase that number.

@frantzfries @dougmoscrop 😂 I honestly wont be surprised if that's the company to kick things off.

Another interesting question is who is legally responsible.

People create Disney characters using Photoshop, but Adobe isn't liable.

Will AI companies be liable for their users typing "Micky Mouse"?

@_jsolly I definitely didn't intend it to be "outrage". They just aren't practical comments anyone would use in a real codebase.

As in, you would assume anyone looking at it already knows what async/await are and you certainly wouldn't try to teach that using comments.
