Really entertaining talk & helped me understand what a service worker is all about. Excited to experiment with creating offline-first web apps 🤖 https://t.co/I2Ou3GSFDx @jaffathecake

🔥 JavaScript's new .at() method lets you pick items based on their index.

This is super handy for grabbing the last item of an array or string because, unlike arrays, it supports negative indexes!

I've really enjoyed being a part of this community! A great place to engage with people passionate about caring for the earth 🌎 @workonclimate https://t.co/fDXl3BtBLk

If you surround yourself with great people, you're going to get better faster.

But the price you pay is the constant feeling of inadequacy.

(monday note to self)

Being busy and being effective are not the same. Effectiveness is about aiming (i.e. solving the right problem), speed is the rate at which you convert busy-hours into progress along the aiming vector.

Brushing up on my Figma knowledge. Haven't worked much with components yet but would like to in the future. 💠

All these office hours videos have been really helpful! Office Hours: Mastering components https://t.co/9r850mOYav via @YouTube @joeyabanks @rogie

Adjust your requests based on user device capabilities (CPU, memory, network...). Monitor the performance at runtime & adjust again.

Continuing on my journey learning more about web performance. This is an older talk, but I think still very relevant. A great overview & gave me a starting point for learning more.

Keep reading for key takeaways 👇

Thanks to @igrigorik https://t.co/AytBIE5CTS

Provide a fallback for every request. There's a higher number of failed page loads than you'd think.

Had fun making this little cartoon-ish social media card for one of my clients today. 🪴😎 Am interested in learning more about this sort of thing if anyone has any good resources!

Great quick explanation of pseudo-classes vs pseudo-elements ⚡️ I'm a big fan of using ::before & ::after pseudo-elements. A bit confusing to learn at first, but amazing once you get the hang of them. Thanks @KevinJPowell https://t.co/5kpiUc18C5

[Meredith Grubbs @MeredithGrubbs]

Wow, I wasn't familiar with the shadow DOM really, and this was a real eye opener. 🕵️‍♀️ Will be useful as I start to create larger applications. Thanks @ireaderinokun ! https://t.co/XjPcJBdaOt

Really interesting exploration. Until now, I've been declaring my CSS custom properties in the :root... will have to experiment more with declaring them elsewhere.
