✨ Big O ✨

Let me take you on a visual introduction to what big O notation is in my new blog post: samwho.dev/big-o.

With big O notation you can better understand how algorithms will perform in practice, finding orders of magnitude improvements often with very simple changes to your code.

I figured out how to add the official Playwright browser automation MCP to Claude Code. Run this before you start "claude":

claude mcp add playwright npx '@playwright/mcp@latest'

Now Claude Code can use a Chrome browser directly!

Here's my TIL: til.simonwillison.net/claude-code/...
Using Playwright MCP with Claude Code
Inspired by Armin , I decided to figure out how to use the official microsoft/playwright-mcp Playwright MCP server with Claude Code.

1/5 Turning 40 & reflecting on a decade of @frontendmasters.com: From strip mall beginnings to beyond my dreams. The foundation? Technical skills, community (60+ talks!), writing skills & business fundamentals. Key lesson: Build diverse skills early! 🚀

I am happy to share that I’ve successfully completed The Joy of React course from @joshwcomeau.com

Before I didn’t feel confident of my React skills, despite having years of experience. Josh’s course helped me build a great foundation I will use for the rest of my career!

Friends! I've decided to go back to FTE and need your help finding good opportunities.

I want to work on web apps again on a great team.

I can do product or platform work, am great at React & TS, but happy to grow outside that bubble for the right thing.

DMs are open!
