Yet Another Newsletter LOL: :where() you at?

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

Around the Web

  • Good news for the Nx team and fans of build systems and monorepos. Nx raises $8.6 million

  • The Web Browser Engineering book by Pavel Panchekha & Chris Harrelson. Thanks for the share Addy

  • Postman Flows look really interesting. Low code ftw?

  • CSS :where() to replace complex multi-selectors

Fun Stuff

I recently discovered the Stuff You Should Know podcast. It’s chock full of interesting stuff and the one I was listening to recently ties into computers. It’s all about the typewriters.

Typewriters: Mechanical Brilliance

For all the mechanical keyboard fans or for anyone honestly, you’ll learn things like why the shift key is called the shift key.

Funny anecdote. While I typed out the episode name, I wrote Typescript Writers lol. 🙃

Words of Wisdom for the Week

A little YOLO can go a long way – Me on Twitter a while back

Shameless Plugs

  • I got my first pull request (PR), github.com/netlify/cli/pull/5231, to the Netlify CLI merged last week! It always feels pretty cool when you contribute to something that all the developers on your platform use probably multiple times a week. 😎

  • I also got my first PR, github.com/open-sauced/open-sauced/pull/1473, to the Open Sauced project merged! 🍕 It made a change to how Storybook for Open Sauced bundles. It now uses vite!

  • Have you moved to Mastodon full-time or part-time from Twitter? For the most part I’ve moved over there, but I realize some folks use Twitter as a main point of contact with me, so I’m barely there now. I wrote about it in this post, Have you moved from Twitter to Mastodon for social media?. What are your thoughts on Mastodon?
