That was me too, I definitely think Alfred + supplementary piano/music theory vids on YouTube was a decent path

Depends what you mean by "play piano" exactly but I used Alfred's books: www.alfred.com/alfreds-basi...

With mostly consistent practice after 3-5 years I can read/learn/play some pieces and improv a little, but I was never super happy with where I got to (and I switched to Violin eventually)

Together with @Jean__Meche we've been cooking something delicious 🥘!

What if Angular warns you if you're running change detection too often [configurable] over a given period of time [configurable too] !?

Angular v19 is the update I didn't know I needed. The level of boilerplate reduction in some cases is absurd www.youtube.com/watch?v=A820...

Angular v19 is out!... and it changed my apps (significantly)

🔥 In Angular you can now have truly reactive component parameters via Signal inputs!

I can finally refactor these getters in my code!

Keep in mind that signal inputs are still in developer preview, so we are not yet following semver for updating their API.

Glad to see you're still playing with Angular, the community definitely needs people like you advocating for good SSR

I'm excited to get into it more (it's actually the topic of my vid next week)

My secret power is that I go on Twitter for a small specified time each day.

If I feel compelled to tweet something, I write it in a note.

Then later when it comes time to tweet it, I realise I don't want to deal with tweeting that shit anyway.

This rule does not apply to Bluesky yet.

Has there ever been a greater relationship than Angular and @?

I've been using the new Angular control flow syntax for templates (it's good)

We take a first look at the new @ syntax coming in Angular 17 and how it compares to the existing structural directive syntax for control flow (e.g. *ngIf, *...

ChatGPT has finally delivered you the solution to a hard fought problem, do you:

1) Let it know the solution worked so it isn't left wondering

2) Realise LLMs aren't "left wondering"

3) ...still feel guilty for leaving it hanging anyway
