Yet Another Newsletter LOL: Getting Saucy
Another week, another newsletter. Let's get to it!
Around the Web
- Bun hype. How we learned nothing from Yarn – Jared Wilcurt gets spicy with Bun. I'm curious what your thoughts are on the post. I'm excited about Bun as it will push other things to be better, but I'm also waiting for it to mature a bit before I consider it for anything production grade even though they hit 1.0.
- I was thinking about how I could toggle a theme in VS Code based on the time of day, and of course there is an extension for this. I found Theme Switcher from Sávio Santos Serra. It works really well. Give it a go if you’re a fan of VS Code. I haven’t posted VS Code tips in a while, but if you’re interested, here’s my back catalogue of VS Code tips
- You can now register passkeys for GitHub. GitHub has made the feature generally available. Bye bye passwords.
- A great post about events from Pascal Schilp, Events are the shit
- The first ever State of HTML survey is out! Hat tip to Sacha Grief, Lea Verou & Christopher Kirk-Nielsen for putting this together!
Fun Stuff
It took me a while to find some non-tech podcasts I enjoy, and Smartless is one of them. Definitely worth a listen. Funny and great interviews all jammed into one.
Words of Wisdom for the Week
Don't count on motivation. Count on Discipline.
Shameless Plugs
It was a busy week! I started working at OpenSauced!
I even had time to write up my first blog post for OpenSauced, Supercharge your Repository with Code Owners
Dev Agrawal joined me on my Twitch stream this week to discuss Clerk, authentication, web dev, all the things! The recording will be dropping on YouTube next week sometime.
Twitch
Twitch is the world's leading video platform and community for gamers.
I wrapped up the week being a guest on the tbdevs Twitch stream to discuss tips for Hacktoberfest. It was tonnes of fun. Maybe you'll find some of the advice and tips helpful!
Jobs
I post jobs in the iamdeveloper.com community, plus all other kinds of content, as do others. If you're looking for another friendly nook of the internet, head to discord.iamdeveloper.com.
