Ever wondered how a QR code works? No, me neither but it's low-key fascinating. (Warning, there is some extremely nerdy shit here.👇 )

Tip: It's powerful for senior engineers to admit when they don’t know something. You can learn from others who do. This normalizes admitting where you have knowledge gaps (but want to learn) and is healthy for teams to see.

💡@nextjs tip: `next/link` will soon no longer require manually adding an `<a>` tag as a child. You can opt-in today with a flag before this becomes the default in the next major version. More details → github.com/vercel/next.js/pu…
Example of a Next.js component that renders a link tag, where it doesn't need to pass the a tag as a child to the component anymore.

I'm often asked why I don't use a fancy ligature font and this is exactly why. Fine to use on your own, but it creates tripping hazards. I once had gitlens on during a workshop and the learner typed "2 days ago" as part of the code we were writing.

Ligatures are unnecessary. Don’t use them when teaching others.

Did you know you can make your own custom pseudo classes? The demo only works in... whoops, all browsers! codepen.io/jonneal/pen/PoQvJ…
The following CSS: :host(:is(:hover, :focus)) { background-color: hsl(125 99.9% 27.0% / 40.8%); } :host(:--clicked) { background-color: hsl(131 100% 27.6% / 60.4%); }

React opinion: most context providers should just be singletons instead. e.g. not: <RootStoreProvider store={rootStore}> <App /> </RootStoreProvider>

I think we should stop telling people to use git add . It is dangerous to use the "." and also not good practice Be specific about the files/folders you want to add

Hot take: "full stack developer" is a scam created by the tech industry to get one developer to do three jobs (front end, backend, devops) for the pay of one dev. Being a generalist is good. But.... have you tried doing all three of those things lately? It's... a lot.
