Yes! Obviously not *all* of the learning, but forming and formulating your own thoughts on a topic is proven to aid in both understanding and retention of knowledge.

True, though even in those fields I would argue that discussing the *why* of what you’re doing will make you better at it in almost all cases. Maybe not a long form essay, but just “why did you choose this solution?”

Yeah, but my point is that the essays aren’t *measuring* original thought, they *demand* it. They are first and foremost a tool for learning, not for measuring. If that weren’t the case I would be more inclined to agree with you.

Exactly! The problem isn’t that the essays are hard to grade, but that these students might not actually be acquiring the skills their diplomas say they have. Forming original thoughts around something is crucial to learning, which is why we have essays in school in the first place.

Glorious! Can’t wait to read through this ✨

I really like the example from Julien Jussey's website! It is clear that adjusting for viewport height makes it better! I can see it working well for smaller sections of a page as well, using the container equivalents of vh and vw 🤔

You might want to check out utopia.fyi! They have a fantastic font scale generator that gives you fluid sizes defined using clamp(), that grow at the same rate.

It will also happily eat your .env-files!

Be careful, though! I replaced the old “clean”-script in the library I’m maintaining with git clean (used to be a rimraf in each package). It was much faster, but imagine my face the first time I wanted to clean up built files to test my (uncommitted) code and it, too was cleaned 😅
