Yet Another Newsletter LOL: You're Holding it Wrong
Another week, another newsletter. Let's get to it!
Around the Web
- Wes Bos had a great talk at Reactathon on next-generation server-side JavaScript. JavaScript is in so many environments these days.
- Amelia Wattenberger put out a great blog post about why chatbots are not the future. AI fan or not, this is a great read.
- Check out Keith J. Grant's post Scoped CSS is Back.
@scopeis only in Chrome, but native-scoped CSS is starting to become a reality. Hopefully, other browsers will follow suit. - I purchased the second edition of Learning JavaScript Design Patterns by Addy Osmani. A lot has changed in JavaScript land since the first edition, so I'm excited to dig in.
Fun Stuff
TIL about Google Lens! This looks pretty cool.
Google Lens is probably the most underrated app for travelling.

Words of Wisdom for the Week
It's a sub-Tweet, but regardless, I like this.
Less "you're holding it wrong", more "let me understand why you thought that so we can teach it better"
Shameless Plugs
This week, I got to hang with folks on the OpenSauced Open Source Hour Twitter space. I've been really enjoying the Twitter Spaces they've been putting out.
On my Twitch stream, I got to hang with Kevin Ball, a.k.a. KBall. We discussed coaching and why it's helpful for engineers.
Remember to like and subscribe! π
There are no scheduled Twitch streams next week. I'll be at Remix Conf 2023!
If you see me, don't hesitate to say hello! I'm not just this 2D avatar, lol.
