Yet Another Newsletter LOL: Super Charge!
Another week, another newsletter. Let’s get to it!
Around the Web
Kevin's videos are great and Flexbox or grid - How to decide? is another banger.
...knowing the strengths of each one of them lets you go down the happy path, go down the path of least resistance... - Kevin Powell
A great write up from Dr. Axel Rauschmayer about the Array.fromAsync() proposal. The proposal is currently at stage 2.
Love this advice from Addy about debugging. Strong co-sign on all this. I'd also add sometimes, just call it a day and sleep on it. Not always, but many times after doing this, coming in with a fresh head has unblocked me.
Fun Stuff
This cracked me up. Taika in general cracks me up. I was also in stitches after watching Thor: Ragnarok as well as Thor: Love & Thunder. If you're reading this Bekah, I know you're not a fan of Thor 4, but I still appreciate you even though you're wrong lol. 😎
And with that, I give you Taika Waititi reads a hilarious letter about a speeding ticket.
Words of Wisdom for the Week
not only should you be allowed to google during a tech interview, but that should be a skill you’re allowed to display; it shows how well you can ask questions, augmenting your ignorance of details, etc. googling lets you thicken the arms of your T-shaped skillset.

And one last thing lol. I normally don't have this many shameless plugs but I've been busy. 😅
