I am genuinely curious what their CI process that passed this looks like, as well as if they're doing any sort of dogfooding or manual QA? Are changes just CI/CD'd out to production right away?

The problem is the modern webs hyper focus on appearance over content. Content first, style second. I still say that the answer is just semantic HTML/CSS. You're coming at the problem from the wrong direction naming things for how

I don't do a ton with Docker outside dev tooling, but I have never understood why private container registries even exist? It just smells like rent seeking. What real advantage does it provide over say just generating some sort of imag

I am not understanding how Bananas play into this? Is that a term for curly braces I am unfamiliar with or something with? Is code being "banana heavy" a term for code having a lot of scopes thus being bloated? I'm grasping a
