I'm digging the @nestframework for backend dev, especially thanks to their @SwaggerApi integration, but I'm lazy, and I'd love a way to automatically open the docs in the browser. I can't be the only one! https://t.co/T9iOL5kh0t

If you swap the "r" and the "a" in "Drawing," then drop the "g," you get "Darwin." Coincidence?

hypergraphemism (n.): a rhetorical technique where a writer excessively uses emojis to convey tone; derived from "hyper" (over), "graph" (draw), and "phem" (speech); a distant cousin of "euphemism," only instead of subbing in something good, it subs in an emoji

Of all the weirdness out of Bing's chatbot, I'm most interested in its dominant rhetorical techniques. It loves polysyndeton (repeating conjunctions), anaphora (starting successive sentences the same way), and hypergraphemism (all those damn emojis; yes, I made up that term).

The people who complain that VS Code isn't a real IDE are the same people who complain that American cheese isn't real cheese.

Tailwind: For the developer who thinks, "Why be so basic as to put my CSS in a CSS file when instead I could put it anywhere else?"

Passion project update: The prettified version of my API is up! Use it to get regression analysis of any data set in an easy-to-use JSON format. Interested but worried you won't know how to use it? I've got documentation, too :) https://t.co/Q1d7cgNNb0

Deep developer thoughts: If you pass an empty string into parseInt(), you get NaN. But if you pass that as the contents of an Axios post to a server, it comes in as null. Then if you try to check if it's NaN, you get false. And at that point, it's basically 0. This is fun. #JS

After trying so many convoluted ways to add tooltips, I just learned that all you have to do is add a title attribute to any HTML tag. Mind. Blown.
