No thanks

Metrics are good for the crossword game this past week - still looking into some UI bugs on smaller screen phones. So cool that people are using it!

4 years ago when I got a new job that used Windows, I typed `ls` all the time on the terminal. Tonight, I just `dir`ed on my Mac 😱

I always wondered how NYTimes created custom link previews when sharing your solved Mini crossword time. Finally figured out a way to do it 🎉 Works with BlueSky, iMessage, Facebook, and LinkedIn that I know of. crossword-5x5.netlify.app/share?time=0...

Anyone know if there’s a way to debug link previews on BlueSky? Facebook, LinkedIn, etc have a share debugger tool that allows you to rescrape the metadata for a link, curious if BSky has something similar 🤔

TIL about minimumReleaseAge, love it!

Crashing out at how poorly npm (Microsoft) is handling this security incident. Eleventy is not affected any more but *lots* of other tools in the JavaScript ecosystem are! Hours later and the compromised package versions are still public… Maybe don’t install anything from npm today, folks.

Made some UI updates to my mini crossword game 😅 Wanted something fun and cheesy and I think I got it. I have some enhancements coming this week around clue and crossword cell behavior. There's a bit of awkwardness that needs some smoothing. Then, onto storing stats 🚀 crossword-5x5.netlify.app

Over the weekend I listened to a clip of DHH on a podcast. He used the phrase "merchants of complexity" and it really stuck with me. DHH argues that with vastly more powerful computers and browsers adding robust features, web development should be easier, not harder.

Lil’ TypeScript tip: Instead of using `@ts-ignore` for stuff you don’t feel like fixing rn, use `@ts-expect-error`. When you do fix the issue, `@ts-expect-error` will *itself* become an error (which you can fix by deleting the comment). That way, you avoid stale ignores that aren’t needed anymore.
