Nice idea - Text reads: Keep kids fed this Halloween. 40% of SNAP recipients are children! If you are passing out candy add shelf stable foods to your treat bucket. With no SNAP in November many kids will have less access to food.

I had thought “this is How Things Are (tm) on the web” and had not consciously thought of the uneven HSL color spectrum as a problem to be solved. But lo and behold - OKLCH colors solve this problem, and it is SO satisfying. It’s the way colors are meant to be. codesandbox.io/p/sandbox/rq...

Because the HSL rainbow was so uneven, I chose the rainbow hues by hand, which was time consuming and imperfect. The project never went past a rough draft, and in my hand picked rainbow the yellow and green still look too light and blue still looks too dark.

🌈 I wanted to create a set of rainbow colors by using HSL values and adding a constant to the number used for Hue. Except it fails - because the yellow and green look too light; white writing is not legible on top of those colors.

Also have been playing Focumon for a while and I finally got the cute shark one. ^_^

There is a valid argument against full stack teams - that most engineers have uneven skillsets and we get something like the unfinished horse drawing when people have to work across all areas. But - that’s why there is a team. Different engineers can cover for and assist each other.

I tried to find Liv on IG and it looks like the account has been taken down. Yikes.
