@aardrian Thanks for your time. I think I know what to do.

@aardrian Thank you. That makes sense. Would having multiple h2s then be weird? Would it be clearer to have one acting as the heading for the aside and then use h3s for subdivisions of the aside?

@matuzo So I'd treat it like any other section or part of a document? That's a big help, thank you.

Semantics question. My page has a 'main' area and an 'aside' (sidebar). Does the sidebar content need to follow the main's heading hierarchy, e.g. start at h2 if the main page has a h1, or is it a separate context? Does any h1-h6 tag make sense in an aside? Thanks.

How to move from junior to senior developer

What skills or behaviours differentiate a senior dev from a junior?

Today is the 8th anniversary of the first recorded death caused by a self-driving car.

Obviously, things have come a long way in 8 years. Would you take a driverless taxi today?

@rposbo Yes, that's a good idea. It could be useful to prove the importance of setting instructions. Thanks.

I was interested to see if an LLM would give any pushback when faced with terrible developer decision making.

Will AI help me make my code worse?

A few simple bits that might actually be helpful, hopefully not just loads of useless things to remember
