[Andrew Burgess @andrew8088]

@ThePrimeagen Thanks for your video remembering Bram. His talk was actually the thing that got me started with Vim, 13 years ago.

I've been having fun with restyling my blog recently. Probably not fair to call it redesigning. But I did come up with a clever (?) CSS hack for styling headings.

@AliAbdaal Any tips for finding a good editor?

[Andrew Burgess @andrew8088]

@AliAbdaal Going from 0 (no product roadmap, no designs) to shippable MVP, probably a year, depending how big that MVP is. To build Things3 probably took 3-4 years.

@nexxeln Good write up! Although I'm sticking with neovim for now myself, agree with your points. I tried a distro (lunarvim) for over a year, but just switched back to my own config b/c felt like I had to learn a DSL to configure it.

I went back to basics for my most recent video: How to use closures in JavaScript

@igalklebanov @kysely_ Thanks for the TS inspiration and an amazing library! Hoping to move us from knex to kysely at work in the near future!

[Andrew Burgess @andrew8088]

If you're pretty good at TypeScript, but want to learn past your plateau, here's how I do it:

Do you use full CI/CD at work, where you can push a commit from your local machine and it reaches 100% of production with no manual steps?

@wesbos It finally stuck for me when I realized that "for of" is also a palindrome.

[Andrew Burgess @andrew8088]

Pretty surprised at some of the comments on my latest video. I think using TS generics can be a powerful way to get deep type support within your components, but am I complicating things too much?

@KhanStopMe @hankgreen This, 100x this

@RoxCodes I'd love to be part of this discord, but I haven't kept up with AI tools at all. Need to lurk and learn :)

[Andrew Burgess @andrew8088]

New Video! TypeScript’s distributive conditional types are definitely a thing that confused me for a really long time. This is the video I wish I’d seen months ago.

In the last day, my video with @TkDodo has suddenly seen a spike in views from `Direct or unknown` (so not YT showing/suggesting it). It's like someone shared the link somewhere ... but no idea where! Thanks, whoever you are!

[Andrew Burgess @andrew8088]

@TkDodo Here's one I ran into this week: is there a good pattern for throttling/debouncing a react-query invalidation? I have a mutation that could happen up to several times in a few seconds, but I don't want to invalidate the related query for each mutation, only, say, the last one.

[Andrew Burgess @andrew8088]

@nexxeln Yeah, I don't love it yet.
