Since reported a few posts as “Violent Media” and all hadn’t broken X’s “rules”.

If showing videos of setting people’s houses on fire / hurling abuse / fighting isn’t classed as Violent media, then what is?

[Dan @danielvanc]

So infuriating that violence is still being allowed to be posted on X.

There’s free speech, and there’s showing responsibility.

So with GitHub co-pilot moving to usage based pricing, what’s the next best alternative without spending mega bucks? Cursor?

Enjoy this introduction into E2E testing from my latest workshop "React End-to-End Testing with Playwright"! 🎉

Let's talk about what E2E testing is, how it has nothing to do with the browser, and what is its true goal.

[WeAreDevelopers @WeAreDevs]

Developers need to be empowered to find issues and suggest solutions, rather than simply complete programming tasks set for them.

💡 Did you know that Playwright has built-in visual regression testing?

You can assert on entire pages or individual locators with the same ".toHaveScreenshot()" matcher.

I've been working from home for a decade. My wife has always been super sensitive to my attention. I've not had this problem from her and she's mostly managed to keep the kids from interrupting too.

When you're in an office you get constant interruptions. I'd much rather be interrupted by my kid showing me their drawing than my coworkers asking me about "the game" I didn't watch and don't care about.

I might have not had my morning coffee yet, but how can someone walking around with a knife and stabbing people in a train, not be terrorist related?

[Alem Tuzlak 🇧🇦 @AlemTuzlak]

First thing that came to mind after reading this, was Dade Murphy (ZeroCool) hacking the campus network to turn on the sprinklers 😆

Typed Routes is a great addition, by why is this not enabled by default? Should be opt out.

@kvlly I hear you. I got to over 150 days on Calm and was absolutely gutted when I lost that streak because of a busy travel day.

These apps do need to remove the streak feature / push.
