I wish @dart.dev had tagged template literals for that giant sql blob. Hoping this ends up back on the roadmap soon github.com/dart-lang/la...

Ooh... that looks interesting indeed.

I'm always torn on string interpolations, as they often end up being a leaky abstraction.

On the other hand; more flexible/dynamic/customizable symbol handing: yes please!

The book explores the movie's origin, the improv roots of its actors, and how it revived the careers of legendary blues artists. While a bit over-focused on Belushi, it's a good read﹠great reason to rewatch the movie 🕶️

Rating: ★★★★☆

An adoption funnel may be a useful tool for your team too.

Or maybe you have your own process already. Share it below!

At Firebase we used an adoption funnel and activity map to plan event activities, mapping each action to a user stage - from Awareness to Love. It explained (to leadership) why we were at so many events (>150 per year at peak) and what success looked like.

Sorry Molly, but associating a color with a month upsets 40% of the population.

Yup. He went hard on the alignment of in-game actions vs out-of-game circumstances here, and it's probably my favorite angle across all the Awaken Online books.

I also love all the redemption angles (Fin at the end of Hellion, Vanessa and Booker here), as "nobody" is a villain in their own mind 😃

Happy digs into how real-life struggles of the players shape their in-game choices. Great characters, smart pacing - though power levels climb fast. Still: excellent setup for when all storylines converge, which can't be far off.

This third separate storyline in the Awaken Online universe (after Jason’s and Fin’s arcs), follows Dom - a college athlete diagnosed with terminal cancer who’s offered access to Awaken Online as therapy.

The character work is rich here, both for Dom and others.
