Til about raycast! The productivity tool that our macs should have shipped with ❤️
TIL about wave app! I’m using it to track my expenses and the invoices for my company! It’s pretty cool.
Sick of seeing truncated Objects
in Node? I got you bro (well Matt Pocock has
got you).
let deepNesting = {
level1: {
level2: {
level3: {
level4: {
level5: {
name: 'Moderately Nested Object',
value: 42,
attributes: {
created: '2023-10-01',
modified: '2023-10-15',
tags: ['demo', 'test', 'nested'],
metadata: {
author: 'Jane Doe',
version: '1.0',
license: 'MIT',
},
},
items: [
{
id: 1,
description: 'First item',
status: 'active',
},
{
id: 2,
description: 'Second item',
status: 'inactive',
},
],
},
},
},
},
},
}
// logs: { level1: { level2: { level3: [Object] } } }
console.log(deepNesting)
// You get the whole object!
console.dir(deepNesting, {depth: Infinity})
Matt is the man!
TIL there’s a useful github repo for bulletproof react!
It gives you a bunch of useufl tips and explanantions on how to make your react code bulletproof.
TIL that you can use console.log
with color!
console.log(
'This is %cMy stylish message',
'color: yellow; font-style: italic; background-color: blue;padding: 2px',
)
Need a tool to help you manage your versioning and changelogs? Check out changesets!
Today I learned how to create multiple Neovim Configs. I’ve set up a home and work config respectively.
TIL about git recent
by Paul Irish. It’s a command that shows you your latest
local git branches! Super useful when you’re at work and got a lot of stuff on
the go.
git recent

Interpolation is defined as “the insertion of something of a different nature into something else.”
TIL that there’s a tool to help you apply color filters to your dom nodes!
TIL that Storybook has a way to specify the behavior of args
— ArgeTypes
.
This is a great way to constrain the values that your component can accept and
provides information about args
that aren’t explicitly set in the story.
// Replace your-renderer with the renderer you are using (e.g., react, vue3, angular, etc.)
import type {Preview} from '@storybook/your-renderer'
const preview: Preview = {
argTypes: {
// 👇 All stories expect a label arg
label: {
control: 'text',
description: 'Overwritten description',
},
},
}
export default preview
Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great.

TIL about e18e (Ecosystem Performance). It’s an initiative to connect folks and projects working on improving JS package performance.
TIL that if we want to make a deepClone
of an object in JS, there’s a built in
method in most browsers: structuredClone
!
The old one (which works but doesn’t account for things like Set
and Map
or
even Date
)
const originalObject = {
name: "John",
age: 30,
date: new Date(),
details: {
hobbies: ["reading", "gaming"],
address: {
city: "New York",
zip: "10001",
},
},
};
const clonedObjectOldWay = JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(originalObject));
// what do you think happened to the date? 😏
// hint... no longer a string!
console.log(clonedObjectOldWay);
console.log(originalObject.date instanceof Date); // true
console.log(clonedObjectOldWay.date instanceof Date); // false (Date is not preserved)
Shout out to Matt Pocock — the person behind Total Typescript — for the twitter thread that exposed me to this function!
Don’t forget this brother. My guy hit me hard with this; it was too damn early in the morning for them ninjas to be chopping onions 🥲!

TIL margin
is meant to increase the distance between siblings. It is not
meant to increase the gap between a child and its parent’s bounding box; that’s
what padding
is for.
width
looks up the tree but height
looks down the tree. An element’s width
is calculated based on its parent’s size, but an element’s height is calculated
based on its children.
Thanks Josh Comeau!
😆 while going through a CSS workshop, I came across this list of CSS mistakes. Be humble folks. We all mistakes.
