@rauschma @developit yes please! I've been building a browser based game I'd like to wrap at some point and Tauri has been on my list
@grigs it's what always amazes me when I'm in the US, it's the least pedestrian friendly place.
Signed up to Blue Sky and the first notification I get is being followed by a spam bot...not a good first impression!

I saw my JavaScript dos and donts post making the rounds and people have criticisms. I do not want to engage because I am very fragile. YOU WIN.

I volunteer @slightlyoff (?) for you to argue with.

But anyways I added an addendum to address and clarify some criticism:

- this doesn't scale
- what is a dash
- what is the point

I don't mean to throw my CV around but I doubt most folks asking about scaling has had to serve as many users as GitHub had to. But you do you!

JavaScript dos and donts @ Mu-An Chiou

Absolutely incredible that YouTube for Android has shipped with a bug that entirely breaks the playback speed UI and basically makes YouTube unusable for me given I always watch at at least 1.5x 😅
Definitely behind the curve but Project Hail Mary is one of the best books I've read in years. Wow!

Started writing devlogs for OnTrack, my train network strategy game I've been working on over the past two years. It's entirely web based and beginning to look like a real game !

First post gives an overview but I'm excited to dive into the details in future posts.

OnTrack devlog 1 - Jack Franklin

@Sinjo I most recently ended up on Wezterm because I'm a Lua fanboy but Alacritty is awesome also
@martynhoyer nice congratulations! Yeah it has flown by. I've got another 5 weeks to take at some point so it's nice planning that when my son is a bit older :)

After 13 weeks of parental leave (thanks Google!) I'm back tomorrow. Both excited and sad.

To anyone else who has returned after a long leave: what techniques did you use to catch up and get back to speed?
