@tangled.org Hi 👋🙂 This looks like an amazing project! I signed up but didn't realise I could use my BSky handle, can I change it over? I signed up using will-stone.tngl.sh. Happy to have that account deleted and I'll sign up again if that's the only way.

Write flat tests. No "describe", no scenario nesting, no beforeEach/afterEach hooks (as a rule). Each test case is self-contained, listing all the setup it needs. Use Symbol.dispose for reliable cleanup. Use granular test cases.
☝️ These things will make your tests shine.

@daishikato.com hi 👋🙂 I thought I'd ask the state management king what he thinks of my attempt? 2n8.wstone.uk Inspired by the simplicity of Zustand with the minimal TS boilerplate of MobX. Whilst not usually a class fan myself, I do find they are good syntax for state. Love to hear your thoughts 🤓

Someone who follows 5000 people follows me, I block them because that’s not normal, they block me…So… you didn’t really want to follow me.

I can't stop laughing at this man I'm sorry. This is the kind of shit the biggest loser in the world would say to their girlfriend about buying her flowers on Valentine's Day once, and he's doing so in an argument that started because he called her a bitch
