Some things you do compound, even if linearly.
Some things just happen and thats the end of its impact.
Most are the latter; that’s fine, but the more time you allocate to the former, the greater you become over time.

@leaflet.pub Really loving the solid product. But It'd be really great if the editor can remember what language I used in a code block and not fallback to the default of plain text. And, also if there was a shortcut addition to the the '/code' command like '/codetsx'

The perfect is the enemy of the good. How many times have you heard that? But it's also the enemy of getting done. I wrote more on this topic here:
The perfect is the enemy of the good (and the done)
Dear new developer, When you are facing a problem, it can be very tempting to try to solve it perfectly. Handle all the possible edge cases, make it extensible, have it be configurable without code…

I am trying to get a good crash course in #Typescript. Net Ninja youtube series looks like a good one. Any other recommendations? I have a development background but not very well-versed with JavaScript at the moment, but I can hack in it when I need to.

Last night, I sat down on the couch after dinner, and said to my wife, “Let’s watch a movie, it’s a no-alarm day tomorrow”.
My kid, who was listening, asked: “So we’re not allowed to be alarmed tomorrow?”
