useful to mock backend responses when you don’t want to have to donate RAM to minikube when developing locally // from https://github.com/GoogleChrome/puppeteer/blob/master/docs/api.md#pagesetrequestinterceptionvalue const puppeteer = require(‘puppeteer’); (async function main() { try { const browser = await puppeteer.launch({ headless: false }); const [page] = await browser.pages(); await page.setRequestInterception(true); page.on(‘request’, (interceptedRequest) => { if (interceptedRequest.url().includes(‘additional_metrics.json’) { interceptedRequest.respond({ […]

a16z – Andresson Horowitz. I don’t hear/use this often enough to remember it, so completely forget what it stands for a11y – Accessibility. I come across this all the time, yet can never remember what word it is short for. Yet I link ‘a11y’ to the concept of accessibility. My issue with this is possibly […]

I was writing some large blocks of repetitive text in SCSS. Had some colors defined, and we wanted to group them in color-ranges, like this. So we started with with: $green-50: #f1fdf6; $green-100: #dcf5e7; $green-200: #b3e6c8; $green-300: #75d09b; $green-400: #37b96d; $green-500: #1aaa55; $green-600: #168f48; $green-700: #12753a; $green-800: #0e5a2d; $green-900: #0a4020; $green-950: #072b15; We want to […]

Using type=”number” on input fields is far less useful than I originally thought. We were previously using it for the form on Framer. Since they are number fields, having the number keyboard pop up on phones is something we wanted. It also prevents people typing in non-numbers, so there’s some free form validation. Here are […]

I want a shortcut for VSCode that lets me”Find in files”, but with the filter pre-filled to current file type. So searching from a scss file will default to searching scss files. Same for rb or js files. This might use a different shortcut to the default find in files, or use the same one […]

I love utility CSS. It means I write CSS once, and change it rarely. I can quickly and easily add/change pages, and can often read a chunk of markup and know what something will look like. text-right font-bold is more obvious to me than nav_item–inner. But a common complaint is “it’s like inline styles”. This […]

I think that I originally read this around Christmas 2017. I was especially hedonistic and unhappy at work at the time. The days between Christmas and New Year’s day are allowed as holidays; and, accordingly, we were not required to perform any labor, more than to feed and take care of the stock. This time […]
