Yes! I like to use that too. I haven’t brought myself to install it on the org codebase yet so this is a nice mini-implementation for the most useful feature (in my opinion)

If you’ve ever dealt with Stripe webhooks before you may also encounter the headache of user subscription states being “CANCELED”… That was a fun one to debug!

Ended up going with event.includes(“CANCEL”) to cover all bases and protect my sanity 😄

I ended up screenshotting and selecting the text with iOS!

Ah that’s interesting. I could see how that could be interpreted that way but have never run into this myself.

I don’t think I would really use this pattern without a variable assignment!

Web serial is wicked. If I were doing this, I’d create a Serial2 communication from some pins of the ESP32 so you can still use the existing serial, strap that to the roomba and then host a custom web server on the ESP to receive HTTP api commands on the network.

I’ve started to begin my days with a 40-60min morning walk. Really makes a difference for my mental clarity and gives me an opportunity to get some sunlight while the days are shorter

I like that personally, but when all the org’s APIs are stored in Postman, I don’t want to be the one to migrate them to something else. I can deal with the extra tea break!

Yeah it’s definitely worth it! I got this one from Aliexpress. I would probably recommend going for Rasperry Pi though if you don’t need this tiny form-factor imo. Much better developer support and community for it online!
