We moved over to using headless Chrome for all our screenshots on @CodePen, by way of @browserless.
📻 about it: blog.codepen.io/2018/07/10/1…
(Big upgrade. Stuff like CSS grid works, webGL, all kinds of stuff...)

Love seeing how people work around the Instagram constraints to make larger art. Reminds me a bit of how people tackled custom Myspace designs way back when. instagram.com/anderson._paak…

Takes me a few minutes to switch back to using `class=“”` attributes when I’m writing regular HTML, but once I start, it takes me dayssss to get back into the habit of typing `className=“”` in React.
I guess you could say I’m just trying to stay classy.

1. Try something new
2. Read all the advice from experts
3. Nod and say “sure, no problem”
4. Make all the mistakes anyway
5. Finally understand for yourself what that advice really meant
6. Advise beginners not to do that thing
7. Repeat

My thoughts on Electron are:
- Most teams only have the resources to answer this question: do I build an Electron app, or skip desktop apps completely?
- JavaScript is going to win out long term. For everything.
- Computers have hella RAM now so who cares.
- Never bet against JS

“Walk out of a meeting as soon as it is obvious you aren’t adding value. It’s not rude to leave, it is rude to make someone stay and waste their time.”

react-beautiful-dnd will now smartly retain focus on the dragging item when moving between lists 🎩✨
Previously we required consumers to roll their own solution, but it is so important for keyboard dragging we have baked it right in

Energizing quotes about the amazing technology coming from the $2B investment hole of Magic Leap:
“it’s functional”
“it’s a work in progress”
“it’s not just fluff”
And from an investor who hasn’t seen it yet: “I think something good is coming”
