I hope everyone’s getting started on their annual viewings of Over the Garden Wall. I just learned that the astoundingly beautiful and astoundingly out of print art book is up on the Internet Archive - maybe this is fun news for you too? archive.org/details/the-ar…

Reminder: there is a Winamp Skin Museum where you can see 80,000 archived Winamp skins (and use them). There was an era of Y2k hyper-maximalist design, before Apple mandated minimalism in everything. UI design had a lot more room for self-expression. It's art.

This is some of my favorite advice for junior engineers - it’s always worth it to do a pass over your PR as if you were reviewing it. You’ll find things you missed (console.logs, every time). And if you can anticipate q’s the next reviewer will ask and answer ahead of time?😙👌

I come to you humbly asking you to stop asking folks to review your code before YOU’VE reviewed your code 😭

Last night I got to overhear Nathan Fielder “oh, ok” someone in real life and it was everything I’d ever dreamed it would be.


I’ve never been tempted to sign up for a clothes subscription service but I would pay upwards of dozens of dollars a month to get @SamRichardson’s outfits from Detroiters shipped to my door for one low monthly fee.

Cases where you can sit down and focus singlemindedly on a fairly well-understood problem are the exception, not the norm. At npm, we call those “typing problems”, because the work is just typing. Thinking problems are harder. Talking problems are hardest.
