After 7 years of selling courses, I'm finally doing a Black Friday sale.
I'd held off for from doing sales in general for all this time, but had some smart people get me on board with it, so I figured if I'm going to do it, I'll go big:
40% off + Flexbox Simplified for free.

Is there a way to configure an npm package to *require* provenance and fail any publish attempts that don’t have it? I don’t think the Trusted Publisher stuff has that option, if I’m reading it correctly.

Was wondering how to use Subresource Integrity with dynamic import() — thought maybe there was a path forward using import attributes (no) but I did stumble across this excellent post about using it with Import Maps (from @guybedford.com):

One of my favorite things is getting to tell friends who are new to NYC that the subway "stand clear of the closing doors please" voice is a trans woman named Bernie Wagenblast and she's amazing.

It’s widely known (and, I think, pretty uncontroversial) that learning requires effort — specifically, if you don’t have to work at getting the knowledge, it won’t stick.
Even if an LLM could be trusted to give you correct information 100% of the time, it would be an inferior method of learning it.

Relying on ChatGPT to teach you about a topic leaves you with shallower knowledge than Googling and reading about it, according to new research that compared what more than 10,000 people knew after using one method or the other.

I hate asking, but I'm looking for words from people to include as social proof when picking up work.
If you've worked with me, or you think highly of my writing/open-source work, I'd very much appreciate a short something I can chuck on my site.
Just a line or two would mean a lot!
