So let me get this straight, the Trump administration is going into a tax/business/legal battle with Harvard University? Isn’t that literally the best school in the entire world for law and business?

Just remember, every new lint rule you add is just another reason everyone should hate you. That’s right, you, the engineer that added 10–20 additional lint rules on top of the defaults, after enabling all the built-in rules. Everyone hates you. Even your immediate family. You’re the worst.
"Micro optimization" is an overused term. If someone's doing some hard-to-read trickery to eek out some performance that probably doesn't matter? Sure. "micro optimization" If someone wrote readable, more efficient code? That's just better code, not a "micro optimization".
Want to learn more about Observables in Chrome? Learn about it like we did, from @domfarolino.com himself! Shout out to @benlesh.bsky.social, author of the original proposal. Big love to Ben and Dominic, both for bringing this code to life and for teaching us about it! 🤩 youtu.be/IMIVmCkwOT4

Dear AWS: "blue/green" deployments are so weird. Was "odd/even" not available to you? Please stop being weird. kthx
✨Heads up! Observables are shipping natively to a browser near you soon! Huge thank you and congrats to @domfarolino.com ❤️ I've helped / worked on / watched this through different standards bodies for more than 10 years now. ☠️ (I'm going to have a lot of work now to adapt RxJS to this 😅)
Hey @bsky.app , why can't I click on someone's profile banner and view it enlarged? I want to get a better look at whatever they're showing off of up there.
"Good code is self commenting" 🙄 Sure. But even perfect code can't always tell you WHY it's doing what it's doing. Now with AI assistants, they're not going to git blame, and read PRs and issues to know the "whys" ...but they can read inline comments and jsdocs.
If you'd ask me in 2015 what will web dev look like one decade from now, my imagination would have gone WILD. Instead, we just got Next.js
Rx Visualizer Beta V1 out now. #rxjs #angular Check it out here: rxvisualizer.com
🚨PSA: When copying GitHub URLs, always hit "Y" first! Hitting "Y" adds the current SHA to the URL. This ensures your link doesn't break as the repository changes over time.
I'd kill for greenfield work. But the money is in maintaining 5+ year old, neglected spaghetti for very productive spaghetti farmers. The real reason to work on OSS is just to have a nice place of your own to enjoy coding.
I'm not sure why I never realized this, but it makes sense. JSX doesn't treat new lines in text the same way that the browser interprets them in HTML text content It's just interesting, in HTML the outcomes below would be the same.
Lmfao. Either a bug in the blue sky app messed up my upload, or I accidently selected this picture of a sloth named Choco that was "adopted" for me for Christmas. Probably the latter
Ben Lesh@benlesh.bsky.social · 2y agoProgress photos part 2: I used a simple 3 color palette: Ultramarine blue, cadmium yellow light, and alizarin crimson. I used a relatively thin medium for the lower layers: 2:1 turpenoid to safflower oil. Getting heavier with more raw paint as I worked up.
This is the first oil painting I've finished in 25 years. A long overdue gift for my parents. Although there's a lot to improve, I've never been happier with a painting. I'm not really an "artist" anymore, but a hobbyist. So I'll take it

I LOVE telling my kids I love them. It's the best feeling I get every day.
This is probably the most concise I’ve ever been on signals in react
Ben Lesh@benlesh.bsky.social · 2y agouseState and useMemo are basically very explicit very poorly integrated signals.

Honestly, being forced to work with Microsoft Edge at work has me appreciating it a bit. + Optional vertical tabs + AI tab grouping + Solid AI integration with Copilot + A lot of the same goodness of Chrome in dev tools etc
Y'all, I've been playing Cooking Madness 2. I'm trained and ready to run around making burgers and sushi on a busy street or in an active volcano now.
NBC News@nbcnews.com · 2y agoThe man who was arrested and charged with murder in the shooting death of United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson once belonged to a group of Ivy League gamers who played assassins, a member of the group tells NBC News.
Wrapping setState in startTransition will prevent 100% of the wasted renders for the old state. The problem is the unnecessary synchronous setState, not the number of renders.
OMFG!!! My children are members of the same assassins' guild! 😱
