It could be. In my experience, having your requirements up front goes a long way in leveraging AI in it's most effective way. So, yeah, sounds like a fun challenge.

Just check its work. :)

Thanks for that. You got a literal LOL out of me. Great way to end the night.

Python is pretty good (being a JS person myself). I never really got into it (though I feel I should).

But helping others is even better. Thanks for volunteering. Great that you're also helping yourself.

"hue-rotation" - that's a new one on me. I'm no CSS expert by anyone's measure. :)

But according to the use case in the MDN docs, that may help solve some issues I've had with text on images.

If A11Y issues spring up with the text, I wonder if something like this can be applied. Thanks for TIL!

Pick a simple project - or a game - then choose a framework, and commit to at least 2 hours a week. If you keep it simple - Tic-Tac-Toe is great - then you'll have a 'completed' project in no time and have a nice foundation on which to build. The key - Keep Your Project Simple. Happy Coding!

(2 of 2) the '.cy.js' file needed to be named simply '.js', AND they needed to be in the same directory.

*Whew*. Not my ideal setup, but I can live with it to get full advantage of #cypress and #cypress-cucumber-preprocessor. Now onto writing those E2E tests! #javascript.

My opinion? Because the in-thing to do right now is to use the framework-flavor-of-the-month. For large corps with large teams it does help (we use Angular and React at the pay-the-mortgage job), but I just don't see it needed for 'normal' websites. It's a crutch.

I hope the 8-track is Creedence.

Thanks for sharing!

GO FOR IT!!

The amount you knowledge you will gain, even if it doesn't live up to what you have imagined, will reward you for years to come.

I suggest not using jQuery, though. Challenge yourself and keep it to pure #javascript. If you need to, though, there's no foul in using it.

Worked on it for another couple of hours today, and I just can't get past this error. Even had Github CoPilot make suggestions for me, but to no avail.

I'm going to have to log a bug report and move on. :( Such goes life sometimes.

It make sense on a technical level, but yes, I agree. There's been a number of times I've sent back a code review on how an object will change and mess up the function, and they've come back to me with "You're wrong. I declared it a const".

Yeah, sorry. It will. It's a teaching moment.

It reminds of me finding in some #javascript code someone who had downloaded an entire library just to --- checks notes --- simulate (not polyfill) a 'string.startsWith' method (before JS had that).

Dude, it's literally one line and maybe 10 minutes of your time. I started drinking after that...

I wanted this game on my Amiga 500 SO bad back then, but it was a lot of money.

I miss that 500 at times...

I love games like this. just a little thinking, tons of fun. Well done!

This is interesting. At my pay-the-mortgage job, we've had to create our own schema checking routines. Thanks for posting this info.

I am a firm believer in writing your own code before resorting to libraries. But I do make an exception when it comes to 2D/3D graphics / game engine libraries. They make life SO much easier.
