A common UI antipattern is to make the structure directly reflect the implementation. If you have 4 database tables, you build 4 screens. This may not reflect how users want to get things done. Does this happen outside of software? I suspect it does, but I can't find examples.

I'm super impressed by how many lint rules can be implemented with just eslint's no-restricted-syntax and selectors. Example: { selector: "ExportNamedDeclaration[declaration=null][source=null]", message: "Add `export` directly to the function instead of a block export." }

Today I learnt about "bypass charging", a phone feature where it can run directly off the mains without using the battery at all. No battery charging, less heat, less battery wear. Nifty.
Here are all the phones that support bypass charging, and why you should use it

Few phones on the market can draw power directly from the wall, bypassing the battery while charging. But are the benefits tangible enough?

I really like the MELPA model of packaging directly from git. It solves the problem of forgetting to release something -- just merge a PR and you're done. It also makes version number bumps much less important.
