I think the whole “Elon Nazi salute” thing boils down to an Occam’s razor situation. What is more likely? You think he’s ACTUALLY a Nazi and wilfully did a nazi salute or he’s just a bit autistic and over-excited and mis-communicated a “throwing heart out” motion?

Our key fob for the shared garage stopped working and I didn’t have a button-cell battery but I did have a lipo cell and a charging circuit… it’s at least USB-C rechargeable now!

Been enjoying IIFE (Immediately Invoked Function Expressions) a lot recently.
I feel like they nicely separate pools of logic relating to specific things (parsing, transforming, slicing) and reduces the need for variable reassignment

Throwback to about a year ago doing weather station maintenance on the Antarctic plateau. It’s a very strange place because it’s totally flat and there are basically no land features for hundreds of miles.
Kinda reminded me of the infinite white room from The Matrix.

I swear the Shopify API team are on a mission to keep us devs in employment — they've been very trigger-happy with these depreciations recently

I’m usually pretty nonchalant about the incredible technology I rely on every day, but when I get a phone call in a cosy café—from an Iridium phone deep in the field on the Antarctic plateau—it always stops me in my tracks. This is so bloody cool
