Spent 2 hours trying to upload a file to my S3 bucket using AWS s3 SDK
The error: "The request signature we calculated does not match the signature you provided"

How is it possible that most of the people I network with have no clue about climate change...
They are working in tech, have access to the best tools & technology the internet has to offer, yet have no idea about the imminent threat to humanity
~ I think I'm crazy 😵💫

One of my favourite updates to CSS is the cross-Document view transitions. They can make your webapp transition similar to a native app when navigating across different pages.

Last time a friend of mine told me they decided to pursue micro-frontends because their dashboard required code isolation between the 4 teams working on it.
Code Isolation - like components, libs, utils and stuff
I think there's a better solution than setting up Micro Frontends

Gotta ♥️ the team behind @astro.build
The bottom line: we broke your code, we're responsible for fixing it.
*We* interrupted your workflow and productivity. It's on *us* to make sure you can get your project back to where it was. (What you do after that is on you!)
This is a huge docs project for us, and we hope you find it helpful!
