The new "Ultimate Action" Woody toy is a thing of nightmares. Is it the inset eyes that are making it creepy? smythstoys.com/uk/en-gb/toys…

Wonder how many people scoffing at the PS5 Pro price that paid ~£200 to add an extra 1TB of storage to their original PS5. Total cost is not much shy of the £700 mark (£449 + £200). PS5 Pro includes a 2TB drive by the way... 🙃

hear me out: for react query, drop query key management, and use queryOptions instead – we followed this pattern at Earn, and things are much simpler now @TkDodo has a great blog post on this as well: tkdodo.eu/blog/the-query-opt…

A rock band is performing and the singer sees a kid with a banner asking to play guitar with them. The singer asks him: - Do you really know how to play guitar? - Yeah! - What's your favorite band? - Guns N' Roses What happens next is incredible.

I was struggling to get anything to load over WiFi on my phone… turned out I’d just automatically connected to the robot vacuum cleaner’s network.

The code coverage updates to @code are brilliant! 🧪
Rough, very early sneak peek at per-test coverage in @code. Want to know exactly what code a test ran? This is how. There's now a per-test toolbar on files that allow you to filter to see coverage generated for any given case, and you can filter the Test Coverage view, too.
