"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

✨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.

🚨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

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

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
