Yet Another Newsletter LOL: LEGO and Things

Another week, another newsletter. Let’s get to it!

Around the Web

• Solid, a declarative, efficient and flexible JavaScript library for building user interfaces.
• GitHub releases a technical preview of Copilot, an AI tool that provides suggestions while coding. I got access to the preview and will have a blog post/stream about this in the next week or so.
• Neeva, an add-free, privacy first search engine created by ex-Googlers
• Slack launches Huddles, a Discord-like audio calls
• Good Meetings, a great post on CSS-Tricks by Sarah Drasner

Cool Stuff

• LEGO prototypes blocks made from recycled plastic
• Brickit app, AI assisted to show you which LEGO kits you can build with the pieces you have (currently only for iOS)

Words of Wisdom for the Week

Never forget that a lot of folks are dealing with things you don’t see. I’m writing this as a reminder for myself, too.

Shameless Plugs

• We have Ben Hong from Netlify on the DEV Twitch stream this week showing us how to leverage Obsidian as a second brain and more! If you aren’t already, give us a follow on Twitch!
• If you’ve heard about Polywork and are still on the waitlist, I’ve got you covered! They provided me with the VIP code yolo-2021. There’s 25 invites left, so grab it while you can and if you’re so inclined, give me a follow over there at timeline.iamdeveloper.com

Until the next issue!
