@cassidoo Answer in Ruby, date math is easy with Ruby:

require 'date'
def daysBetween(date_a, date_b)
(Date.parse(date_b) - Date.parse(date_a)).to_i
end

Outputs:

daysBetween('Jan 1, 2024', 'Jan 29, 2024')
=> 28

daysBetween('Feb 29, 2020', 'Oct 31, 2023')
=> 1340

@acemarke Thanks! I'll share this information with my friend :)

[Vesa Laakso @valscion]

@acemarke I remember that at some point you have said that you have some tool to manage huge lists of links and open tabs. What did you use? Asking for a friend 😊

@Kyle__Long @cassidoo Ha nice use of .min and .max! My approach with Ruby was a bit more involved 😅 https://t.co/BAoa8XsmMD

@cassidoo My answer for the question of the week in Ruby:

def missingLetters(letters)
first, *middle, last = letters
(first..last).to_a - [first, *middle, last]
end

[Vesa Laakso @valscion]

@Kyle__Long @cassidoo Yeah this could definitely be optimized to not create so many temporary arrays but this approach lead to nicely small code 😄

@cramforce @vercel Shouldn't the code example explaining version skew use `name` and not `id` in the input element if you want to explain what gets sent to backend?

Working with non-design stakeholders is an exercise in managing momentum.

Think of the standard divergence-convergence "double diamond", and then imagine that the designer is a boat, and the stakeholder is a cool water skier.

I've found the Todo Tree extension really helpful, especially on large projects or side projects with a lot of start/stop to keep track of what I have left to do.

You write TODO in a comment and it helps you build a todo list of what's left

There’s a common misconception that being an async-first company means you’re anti-meeting.

Not true. In fact, I would argue that async-first companies like meetings *more* than most.

Why? Because they follow the flipped meeting model: https://t.co/E1s3Eav5sA

This piece by @StartsWithABang is a nice explanation of how the mental picture most people have of the “Big Bang” is outdated and wrong (!)
