There are so many websites that would actually look better if they just stuck to system fonts at regular weights.
Ultra light weights really appeal to young designers especially, but most eventually learn that they shouldn’t be in common use.
This is nothing earth shattering, but a short write up on the "parallel test bundle", a Go testing convention that we've found inordinately effective for keeping subtests parallel safe, DRY, and tidy/readable. 10/10 strong recommendation.

Confirms forecasts showing "only" a $728M deficit over 2y were fantasy. Property taxes $82M/y and business tax $139M/y lower than projected.
$1B deficit wasn't expected until 2026. It'll be here by 2024 or 25.
