BREAKING: Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez demands the impeachment of Supreme Court Justices Kavanaugh & Gorsuch for lying to Senators about their views on Roe v. Wade, declares that “there must be consequences” because it sets a “dangerous” precedent.” RT TO THANK @AOC!

I love, love, love every time we make it easier to pick up programming.
Before kids can get started learning about web development with Rails, they need it installed on their machines. This has long been a source of pain for me, so we decided to do something about it.

Recruiters, I promise you that “tech unicorn”, “hot startup”, “rapidly growing valley startup” aren’t the sales pitch you think it is. Most of them translate to “shit show” by default in a lot of people’s head.

"Sign up" and "Sign in" are the most confusing terms for me as non-native english speaker. Always takes me a moment to click the right thing.
Can't we go with "Create account" and "Log in"? 🙈

JavaScript developers: "Nooooo use `let` if you mean something will change, and `const` if it won't, it was designed into ES6 ffs"
Chrome: "Reality can be whatever I want"
An interesting change Chrome recently made. You can now redeclare const variables in the console.
Avoids the "Uncaught SyntaxError: redeclaration of const X" error.
ALT Image shows a variable named "url" being declared with const. Then, on the next line, we declare a new variable with the same name, "url".

next week is the first time in months that work will finally calm down enough to go out and do stuff, and now looks like there'll be no stuff to be done again 😫 US folks please get the vaccine if you're haven't yet- the access to it is such a privilege that can save lives ❤️

This has nothing to do w/ Covid, but it's still on my mind after recent harrowing experience:
Why can't makers of smoke detectors figure out a way to make replacing batteries a task that can be done by someone without advanced training in both acrobatics and Swiss watch repair?
