The stories about 10x engineers never include:
• Adding meaningful test coverage
• Updating outdated README sections
• Mentoring junior engineers
• Listening to burned-out coworkers
• Improving on-call runbooks

No glory in these things, but those that do them are the ones you desperately want to keep.

They plant trees they don't expect to sit under.

I have avoided Tailwind for years. I find myself having to add in design tokens from an external source to some tailwind code...

My only question - who hurt you? Why would you bind yourself to this.... "syntax"....

3. Sa11y is a really great tool: https://sa11y.netlify.app It’s a live, in-page accessibility audit whose workflow is far, far more useful for actually improving the page than the server-based “enter your URL” online services. Killer features:

- It live-highlights potential issues on the page.

- It lets you dismiss warnings and •remembers that you dismissed them•, so it can offer subjective concerns that require manual review (e.g. “this image is marked as decorative; is that correct?”).

- Per the previous post, it actually respects the contrast setting, because it reports on what’s on the screen.

Throwback to when I learned how mastodon felt about Google & Chrome.

OH there will be some scenes if that rumor of OpenAI buying Chrome comes to fruition.

TIL that the useful code quality tool Sonar has a rule that you don't have to write code coverage if you make a change that is less than 20 lines.
So that one line critical hotfix passes the check without needing a test, or any comments of any kind.

This toot is brought to you by hindsight!
