USB-A connectors seem absolutely massive when the majority of my connectors are USB-C. With hindsight, maybe the original USB standard could have been smaller. USB 1 came out in 1996, way before the modern smartphone, so I assume it was more focused on desktop devices.

I've always written dumb lisp parsers in the past: a list is just "(" EXPR* ")". Checking came later. I'm trying something different in my current project, pushing special forms into the parsing logic. This means that e.g. (if) is a parse error. It has a different vibe.

`npm outdated` is a useful command that colour-codes output based on semantic versioning compatibility. I wonder if time information would help too? If I'm on 1.0.1 and 1.0.5 is the latest, but 1.0.1 came out in 2010, that's useful knowledge.
