The #JS utility you never knew you needed 😂
Create multiple Symbols in one go with this Proxy-based one liner.
// util.js export const createSymbols = new Proxy({}, { get (target, prop) { return Symbol(prop); }, }); // Use like: const {a, b, c} = createSymbols; console.log(a, b, c) // Symbol("a"), Symbol("b"), Symbol("c")

Did you know your MacBook has a sensor that knows the exact angle of the screen hinge?

It’s not exposed as a public API, but I figured out a way to read it and make it sound like an old wooden door.

Do you find “merging PR without review” to be a sign that a team is going in the wrong direction? 😅

This is hilarious. Best part is that my score is also a date (somewhere) 🤣

I scored 7/28 on jsdate.wtf and all I got was this lousy text to share on social media.

that’s a clever idea to use Proxy for UI updates, but in my humble opinion, using Observable gives you more flexibility 🤔

what’s wrong with this code:

if (props.wrap) {
return (
<Wrapper>
{children}
</Wrapper>
)
}

return children

The suspension of my Claude account got me thinking — if you rely solely on vibe coding, one day you might lose your vibe, meaning you’ll need to learn how to cast programming magic the old-fashioned way. So maybe the future isn’t as dark as people keep saying on every corner. 🤠
