@_dte I often stage only the changed lines that relate to the current feature, commit those. I'm left with the changes that are out of scope. Then create another branch to commit to.

I've probably accepted 30+ cookie messages today. Most of these are the same fucking message from the same fucking website, just because I'm using a different browser.

Seeing as I opt for reader mode at night. I found this gem.

TL;DR: Use reader mode and avoid cookie messages.

@plusnethelp Hi Benj, It does appear to be an issue with our wifi.

Running performance tests on a wired connection produce very stable speed test results.

I shall experiment with different wifi configurations to hopefully resolve the issues we have been experiencing.

Thanks for your reply.

Having uncovered how to add RSS feeds of @Medium authors, I feel so much more connected to them.

It's the authors words delivered my way.

Imagine, every barista anywhere always crafting your coffee exactly the way you like it without asking!

During my research this morning to discover weeknote authors, this tweet really resonated with me.

@chipnanimus I'd faff about a bit trying to squish the two numbers together. And then resort to 8+7 to get 15, then do 20 + 40 to get 60, then make it 75 by adding the 15.

@_gbbns All the best Chris!

If anyone has successfully tackled this same problem using different techniques, it would be great to know.

> Make a concerted effort to write sh*t down.

Okay, so. How does this work in real life? And what is it useful for?

I'm somewhat of a scatterbrain and a bit forgetful. I find writing notes helps me to remember things.

Lists, I'm pretty good at writing lists.

[Drew Jones @andij]

I may even end up writing about it so an online search 'netlibox eleventy' results in a link to my publication.

Now, wouldn't that be spiffing!
