Nice round up Something I think would be useful would be to stop trying to distinguish any meaning between “text/code editor” and “IDE”. Those 2 distinctions don’t really work today because modern editors have pretty much everything an

I honestly think the opposite. When I learned generators from Python the understanding of “a function that yields instead of returns” was very easy to grasp. And considering I already knew how functions worked & what their syntax was th

it’s unlikely they’re doing this live, it would be way too obvious. The toilets would also be the first place they’d check. I’m guessing they’re using some recording.

Not quite, the second time doesn’t “generate the dom”, it just hydrates, fills in the gaps and binds event listeners. It’s not starting from scratch and isn’t a big cost.

I think the work they're doing to migrate to SHA-256 also includes not hardcoding the hashing algorithm so much into the code, so that it has some forwards compatibility if they need to change again in future.

Yeah cockney rhyming slang (UK), if you get a 2:2 degree you’ve got a “Desmond”. I’m not surprised people don’t know why, when I first heard it I had to look it up. I don’t think kids grow up learning about Desmond Tutu.
