I wonder when we’re going to start to see ads in chatbot interfaces (ChatGPT, Claude etc). It’s not a question about _if_, rather _when_, or what would do you think?

Today I learned about Git submodules, i.e. keep a Git repository as a subdirectory of another Git repository. I guess it was time to learn about that after using git for over a decade. 😅

I used it to add my forked kickstart.nvim repo to my dotfiles repo: github.com/mansn/dotfil...
dotfiles/.config at main · mansn/dotfiles

I just learned that there are quite a few "typo friendly(?)" aliases for npm CLI commands, such as `npm udpate` which is an alias for `npm update`😃
That specific alias was actually added in mid 2017 (8 years ago! time flies): github.com/npm/npm/pull...

Random post: About a week ago I learned that it's common for french people spell their last name in uppercase letters. I've seen it a few times, but never really thought about wh. =)
One reason is to avoid mixing up the firstname and lastname.

Started tinkering a bit with Neovim with kickstart. =) I didn't think I would be excited about configuring things and exploring it, but I keep going back to it. I use VSCode (with the Vim extension) on my job, so it's a bit slow to build a habit with neovim on my free time.

Styled components has officially moved into maintenance-only mode: https://opencollective.com/styled-components/updates/thank-you

That's the bell I think, the era of runtime css-in-js libraries is now definitively over. So long and thanks for all the divs.
Thank you - Open Collective
First and foremost, thank you to everyone who has contributed to styled-components over the years. Open Source is hard work, and many of the larger feature and/or refactoring drives probably would never have shipped without your support! As...

I've been running Cursor a bit on my free time, and been impressed by the speed of the tab autocomplete. But I wonder if VS Code will win me back with the latest updates. I'm not a big user of Agent Mode, but I like autocomplete/tabbing to speed up my output =)

Tonight I used ChatGPT to generate a party poster for my son's birthday party. It had a hard time to understand what I meant with not having any text in the poster 😂
