📝 New blog post: “How to add a PR template to your @github repo”

Coders who work with other coders need to explain their work in writing. A lot.

That’s easier to do if you can just fill in the blanks.

@stolinski I had to solve this issue at work a couple years ago, so when I heard you mention on @syntaxfm that you were encountering the same Safari bug, I wrote a blog post for you with the one-line solution. :)

📝 New blog post: “The translateZ trick”

I recently overheard another developer lamenting that Safari doesn’t animate CSS filters smoothly and since I’d managed to solve that issue a couple years ago, I figured it was about time I shared the solution!

I found a good use case for this technique this weekend while enhancing blocks pulled from the @NotionHQ API with extra data and helper methods, so I wanted to give @kyleshevlin a shout-out for the timely assist.

I didn’t know this factory function technique before reading ⁦@kyleshevlin⁩’s blog post about it and must say I find it a really nice alternative to writing classes.

This is a nice video⁩ showing how to make a unit test (or any code block) easier to read by rewriting it from a single point of view: in this case, how a user would interact with the page.

@rauchg @powerlanguish True! Those 4 lines are definitely supported by a few others. :)

Very cool! 4 lines of code kept millions of daily users happy. @powerlanguish

The Wordle redirection to NY Times is very thoughtfully executed.

I was curious about how it preserved my game stats 😁
