How do you help yourself (and teammates) prevent your JS bundles from becoming too big?
You could expose library size in the IDE! Really interesting approach.

Prefer API elegance to implementation elegance, and prefer boring code to clever code: https://reactjs.org/docs/design-principles.html#implementation
It's fascinating how smartphone websites often consider *descriptions* to be secondary content!
I've seen this both on Amazon and eBay. Apparently the title and pictures are sufficient.
Porting babel and closure compiler to Rust! https://github.com/swc-project/swc
If the expression is true, the hardest problem in Computer Science would be naming cache invalidation strategies.
Microsoft's Edge moving to Chromium will reduce browser diversity. However, Safari/WebKit has forked from Chromium. Presumably they'll diverge over time?
Browser vendors influence *new* standards, and both Apple and Google will need to do implementation work.
Stack Overflow is adding a new Ask Question wizard, with a lot more structure to guide users! https://meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/378057/the-ask-question-wizard-is-now-in-testing
Programming in Rust has become so much easier than when I first started. Not only the continuing polish of the core tools (e.g. error message clarity, rustfmt is bundled now) but also the increasing breadth and quality of the libraries available!

A useful convention!

My Spanish is rubbish, and I can't find any English coverage yet. Looks like it's from a recent conference and they've given 90 days to patch.
Email innovated over many other messaging systems by adding structure. To/Cc/Bcc, Subject/Message.
Could it have gone further? Should it have mandated more metadata?

A wonderful tutorial on adding random emojis to your bash prompt. Covers shell script arrays, escape sequences, and even the mysterious $PS2 variable!

It's funny how 'tap to pay by phone' apps show a picture of a credit card.
Is it a temporary skeuomorphism to help users understand, or will it become a generic symbol like the floppy disk 💾?
Most online stores seem to prefer explicit pagination rather than infinite scroll.
Perhaps infinite scroll is better for time-oriented content, unlike a catalogue? Or maybe it helps sales in some fashion?
Maybe Not by Rich Hickey: https://youtu.be/YR5WdGrpoug
Makes an interesting point on Maybe/Either: they require updating the call site, even for compatible changes! E.g. from returning a Maybe Foo to returning a Foo. Argues for *union* types.
