🥳 New release: Tap Monkey version 2.0

I just released version 2 of Tap Monkey (a TAP formatter that’s also a monkey), reworked for node:test.

(TAP is meant to be a standard and all but node:test and Tape spit out very different diagnostics, etc., so I thought it best to keep the Tape version at 1.x – it’s basically been done for years now anyway – and have a separate 2.x branch for modern node:test, which is clearly based on Tape and has huge advantages like concurrent tests – which just sped up my unit tests on Kitten by 8× after I refactored them so they could run concurrently.)

Enjoy!

Why Cities Go Socialist

It’s always funny to me when a website has to explain what to do with it because there are no obvious controls or visible content. That’s a problem of your own creation.

It’s even funnier when the interaction icon itself is confusing enough that it needs explanatory text beside it. Choose a better icon, or just use the text.

All that said, in this specific example, the choice of an arrow to represent a tap is very unconventional.
