@Insharamin @Prathkum You can always come back to it.

For me:

- Struggled horribly in my intro to C++ course
- Quit computer science degree and changed to communications
- Returned to coding nearly 10 years later, taught myself JavaScript
- Full time React dev for three years

"the goal is 95% adoption"

@Lewishealey shares how @Atlassian tracks their design system adoption across every file marked "ready for dev"

@vogueandcode This makes me think I need to start tinkering more 🤔 and attending more conferences!

[Molly Boyle @MolliBoyle]

😍 I had no idea hackable badges were a thing!

Going weirdly deep on console.log

[Molly Boyle @MolliBoyle]

@RobSwish @ImSh4yy Yeah, I think you're right. You still can't quite achieve it with just border radius.

[Molly Boyle @MolliBoyle]

@RobSwish @ImSh4yy I had this same question myself, and found this great article: https://t.co/at0RlSVgfd

🤯 Just 4 lines of CSS

View Transitions are great for changing pages

BUT it's incredible for animating any changes to the DOM

[zack @zack_overflow]

Added gratuitous explosions and particle effects to the code editor I'm building

[Molly Boyle @MolliBoyle]

@jenniferchou25 Love this idea. Turning it into themes, and maybe a curriculum with a recommended schedule.

[Molly Boyle @MolliBoyle]

@stolinski 🔥🔥 Thank you!!

Super quick tip I use all the time but people may not be aware - @github maintains a list of gitignores (with 161k ⭐️!) for every single language and you can clone them into your project with a oneliner:

npx gitignore <language>

just in case someone here doesnt know, now you do

[Molly Boyle @MolliBoyle]

Feels like people will do some really cool stuff with this...

[Astro @astrodotbuild]

@storyblok @cloudinary The Astro feed loader lets you pull down any RSS, RDF, or Atom feed into a collection. With this loader you can display recent pull requests on your GitHub repo or show the weather in your location. Let’s bring RSS back!

Are you using position: absolute; to overlap elements?

It's almost always better to Use CSS Grid instead!

[Molly Boyle @MolliBoyle]

One of my favorite .vscode settings updates the import locations when you shuffle files around. 🔥

`"typescript.updateImportsOnFileMove.enabled": "always",`

[Molly Boyle @MolliBoyle]

@jamesqquick @nextjs @astrodotbuild Feels like you just picked the right tool for the job.

Docs in Next.js might be overkill; Astro seems more fit for purpose.

[Wes Bos @wesbos]

Do you like magic links?

I think Raycast has nailed the UX here to make everyone happy.

[Molly Boyle @MolliBoyle]

@asiahoe @TheJobfather__ Yeah. I've previously had success with a Canva generated resume, but that might be in spite of ATS issues, because I've never tested it myself.

But simpler formats are probably the way to go to work with recruiting systems.

[Molly Boyle @MolliBoyle]

@TheJobfather__ Thank you!
