I already have a few courses I’m working through but that’s too good a recommendation and too good a price
I got access shortly after Scott's course launched and it is hands down the best course on web components I have seen. Beginner-friendly yet covers all the ground you need to get started with web components.

Can't recommend it enough.
Online on a weekend? You can grab access to my web components course for $25 today and tomorrow. Big ol’ discount. Use the code OCT25-26.

(And as usual, if you need further accommodation, just use the email form and we’ll work it out.)

Google Gemini doesn’t appear to be doing too well:

‘"I am a disgrace to this planet. I am a disgrace to this universe. I am a disgrace to all universes . . . I am a disgrace to all possible and impossible universes and all that is not a universe," the bot continued.’
Google says it's working on a fix for Gemini's self-loathing 'I am a failure' comments
Google Gemini users said the bot is sharing self-loathing messages while attempting to solve tasks, including "I am a disgrace to this universe."

I soldered for the first time yesterday. What will I do with this newfound power? I mean other than play my bass amp with the new speaker?
