Did you know your MacBook has a sensor that knows the exact angle of the screen hinge?
It’s not exposed as a public API, but I figured out a way to read it and make it sound like an old wooden door.

i don't resent llms but this is real
part of my resentment towards LLMs is to do with them crowding out anything else we could be talking about. there are so many things I could be reading to get better at my craft but I'm presented with "you should actually get worse at it on purpose because nothing matters any more"

This whole post is very good and true and thoroughly depressing
Everyone, even the folks with the nuclear codes, is entertaining themselves online as the world burns. Posting through it and monitoring the situation until it finally reaches their doorstep and forces them to look up from their phone and log off.

Write flat tests. No "describe", no scenario nesting, no beforeEach/afterEach hooks (as a rule). Each test case is self-contained, listing all the setup it needs. Use Symbol.dispose for reliable cleanup. Use granular test cases.
☝️ These things will make your tests shine.

Historically (like, for the past decade), I’ve used SVG if <20 things were moving and Canvas for 20+. But I think the threshold nowadays is in the hundreds. The lowest anyone has reported so far is 4900 SVG <circles> being the threshold 😲
