Man Svelte {@const} block is such a godsend. Being able to keep variables close to where they're actually needed feels so so elegant and powerful. And these variables are reactive too.

Svelte snippet is becoming my new favorite way to organize long component/page.
Snippet can access all of its parent data, making it a lot more convenient than separate components. I can easily split away part of the markup into separate snippets put at the end of the file to improve readability.

I love and prefer to use built-in tools, but the `apt` package manager on Ubuntu very often will have outdated package versions.
So I installed `brew` and have been enjoying it so far.

Mini Git tip of Saturday:
`git merge-base` finds the common ancestor between 2 branches: `git merge-base main branch-1`
This is especially useful when you want to rebase/filter-branch from the branch's begin - change committer emails, remove files from history, etc.
`git rebase -i <merge_base>`

Unironically, I really love Svelte because its font choices are just so elegant. Fit very well with Svelte's motto to "optimizize for vibes"

I think I will give up trying to make my dashboard web app mobile-friendly due to long tables. The intended use case is for desktop anyway - it's just for use by me and my small team occasionally and I know we wouldn't using phones.
Trying to fit a table into mobile view looks negative ROI

Really enjoying "Wild Courage" by Jenny Wood 📖
A quote I find very profound: "Success mindset precedes success". You need to have a winner mindset before you can succeed
There's no magical turning point where everything will suddenly become perfect. Build success from the way you take action daily

Modular Form and Tanstack Form both look so good I can't choose ahh. Tanstack is obviously powerful, well-designed, w/ a big community and clearer plans for SSR. But something about Modular Form just really hook me - maybe it's the simpler API for smaller use cases, or just the very nice looking doc

Wow Phoenix changes so fast almost every tutorial I've seen has now been somewhat outdated.
Good thing the docs are very well-written. Hard thing is knowing which doc to look for and seeing concrete examples.

Today I learned: If you are using `createAsync` at the component level, your component should wrap the async access in a <Suspense>, or else SolidStart may cause some weird flash of content issue

Elixir Phoenix Plus is the coolest thing I have ever seen. Such flexible, extensible, and powerful way to do middleware.

LLM is an incredible piece of technology, and good prompting seems to affect results a lot, but I'm often not patient enough to write a good long prompt myself with all needed context. I often rather code it myself, completed with small snippets from chatGPT instead of whole project generation.

Recently I have seen my Git folder getting corrupted quite often in WSL2. Not sure why. Push your commits often everyone, even WIP commits (you can always rebase later)

Man I love tailwind's Amber color. 300 and you got a pleasant yellow, and 500 you got a nice-looking orange. Not too overtly yellow nor orange - very easy on the eyes

Honestly, not always.
Reading a good doc feels amazing. When every problem you thought of they immediately solved it in the next sections, and you keep having moments of enlightenment "wow that's so cool". You glide on the sea of knowledge taking it all in.
Writing the docs though...

TIL: `onpointerup` to make mobile-only click event.
On mobile w/ limited horizontal space, I want to implement tapping on the row to show extra info. But on desktop with lots of whitespace, I prefer dedicated buttons.
→ Solution: Mobile-only clicking with `onpointerup` and `event.pointerType`

TIL: ESM Dynamic import has a cache!
So if you're developing a module to be dynamically imported, and seeing that it keeps importing the old version, you can bust the cache by just adding a query string with `Date.now()`

A lot of website accessibility can be achieved by just:
- Using semantic HTML elements: nav, fieldset, dialog, label, etc.
- And use ARIA attributes occasionally. Mostly aria-label, aria-labelledby, and role to give more context to things that screen readers may not understand: emojis, buttons, etc.
