@ItsChrisGreene @notcapnamerica @pauljosephallan As someone who was born and raised in the ozarks, I can confirm that poor genetics and birthplace are still no excuse for being a racist bigot. 😁

Nationalism comes with a cost. Our humanity is that cost.

Real programmer question: Why are folks so afraid of chaining PRs? I’ve done this for years in order to make smaller PRs that are easier to review. GitHub even auto-rebases the next PR after the first gets merged. Would love to hear viewpoints on this.

Inspired as a high school student on a @FIRSTweets robotics team. Today the team I am on, is about to do something extraordinary.

@GeoffCrittenden @j_c_fitz I’m always for better naming of functions, but it doesn’t always happen and sometimes can still be ambiguous. I’d still rather have an explicit return. Recently I’ve had to dig 3 functions deep just to figure out if something was even intended to be returned.

[Kevin Killingsworth @coderkevin]

Programming hot take: Ruby’s implicit returns are an anti-pattern and should not be used. Why should I have to look up the last function that is called just to see if it has a return value?

This is America. 😢

[Kevin Killingsworth @coderkevin]

The United States of America. Where our officials take an oath to uphold the 4th and then invoke the 5th.

@RealSexyCyborg Many women will die because of this decision, and far more women will be forced to carry offspring for their abusers. The long-range consequences of this decision are simply unfathomable.

@RealSexyCyborg I’m not sure that a 2-engineer team would be solving the same kinds of problems a 20-engineer team would, so this becomes difficult to compare.

“…getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and blacks with heroin and then criminalizing both heavily, we could…raid their homes…and vilify them night after night…Did we know we were lying about the drugs? Of course we did.”—John Erlichman, Nixon top adviser

Don’t forget, friends, that those in power have been trying to drive a wedge between us for over 60 years. Please remember that people with different views are still human, just like you and me.

One of my two most favorite quotes:
“Do the best you can. Then when you know better, do better.” #MayaAngelou

@wesbos Brings to mind a quote from Brian Kernighan: “Everyone knows that debugging is twice as hard as writing a program in the first place. So if you're as clever as you can be when you write it, how will you ever debug it?”

So excited to try this out! The team did a great job on this!

The thought and care that went into making Interactive Stories a reality is staggering.

It's a marriage of two of the most popular tools in JS @storybookjs + @TestingLib. That gives you the best of both workflows with no extra config.

@eevblog Yeah that domain is definitely legit 🤣

CSF 3.0 is going to be great! I'm already starting to port some stories over to the new format. No more template binds, and the play functions are going to be amazing.

[Storybook @storybookjs]

Component Story Format 3.0 is here (alpha)

♻️ Spreadable story objects
🌈 Default render function
📓 Automatic titles
▶️ Play functions for scripted interaction
✅ 100% backwards compatible

All with much less boilerplate!
