I found this essay Primitive Obsession (https://lnkd.in/gZkPhNqs) by Andrew Cairns interesting. The big example in it is this: $user = new User('abc123', '[email protected]'); Here the User function takes two string params, string being a primitive type, and here, quite easy to screw up by passing them in the wrong order and/or not pre-validating the values. If you agree, there are a variety of ways to tackle this problem which generally boil down to passing in a typed object. TypeScript and Zod fans will be like: yeah duh.

Why is this thing in Dark Mode? The website has the most control, since that's what applies the CSS. But browsers also have a Dark/Light/System setting, and that can fall through to the OS/Device.

I've long been a GUI guy for using Git (🔗 (https://lnkd.in/geBUtgEW)). It just makes sense to me to clearly visually see an manipulate the files I'm staging and committing, seeing nice lists of current branches and PRs at a glance, and seeing the diffs and conflicts in a dedicated UI. But I get it, a lot of developers are just terminal people. They are very comfortable there and can do anything I can do (probably better). I just found out about Lazygit (https://lnkd.in/gaDrqGyZ), and am finding it a fascinating in-between of command-line Git and GUI Git. A TUI, if you will, a Terminal User Interface, which I'm just now understanding is a thing (https://lnkd.in/g2JKpJeT). Some people totally love it (https://lnkd.in/gQh-Xsb7), and I'm giving it a bit of a whirl for fun. Oh, and speaking of TUIs, if you were interesting in building one, the tools available at charm.sh (https://charm.sh/) are pretty mind-blowing.
