@jacobmparis I feel like you need to draw the line on this at some point. I often lose my place in the JSX if an inline click handler is more than 4 or 5 lines of code. You can usually infer what handleClick will do based on the element it's attached to.

[Mike Rourke @codelikeawolf]

@outoilkka @housecor Yeah, Ramda is great if you want to forget what your code is doing 6 months after writing it.

[Mike Rourke @codelikeawolf]

@HCBlanchard @juanbuis @mrbiscuit Totally agree. Foundation is soooooooooo good! Every time I get a AppleTV+ notification saying there's a new episode available, I do a little dance

@themarkdrake @armandrego @ThePrimeagen @rustlang I didn't have a specific use case in mind. I just want to expand my horizons. I learned Go a while back and really enjoyed the experience. I imagine I'll find some good uses for a lang like Zig once I start messing around with it.

[Mike Rourke @codelikeawolf]

@joelhooks @mjackson +1000 for Tom Bihn. I have one that's over 5 years old and still looks brand new. The price is higher, but you get what you pay for.

@AdamRackis I remember seeing a post a while back that described ska as "what plays in a 13-year old kid's head when he gets extra mozzarella sticks" 😆

@AdamRackis Just change the font, Adam. What's the problem?

[Mike Rourke @codelikeawolf]

@kyleshevlin As a former electrician that spent a lot of time around much better electricians, I completely agree.

[Mike Rourke @codelikeawolf]

@swlkr @likewhoaxyz @stephsmithio Right!? I'm enthusiastic about assessing the pros and cons of an approach and tempering expectations so I don't waste money or time. I guess that comes off as being jaded?

[Mike Rourke @codelikeawolf]

@brian_d_vaughn Ditto. Considering it also tends to get used everywhere for event handlers. Just use "err" and "evt"/"event" people.

[Mike Rourke @codelikeawolf]

@AdamRackis Switch to cardio only so you can get Svelte.

[Mike Rourke @codelikeawolf]

@gregorywitek @bitandbang I’m in Portland and I want to live in Amsterdam. Maybe we actually have the same grass!

[Mike Rourke @codelikeawolf]

@CDCgov Thanks for the heads up but we just lost the last Golden Girl and I’m going through a lot right now.

[Mike Rourke @codelikeawolf]

@andybbtt11 @VIRPILControls Same to you, buddy!
