    Trying to explain to the kids that when I was a kid things you ordered came in 4-6 weeks. I don't think we talk enough about what a marvel the modern supply chain is.

    It is the small things sometimes. Like the loading animation on this site I'm just in love with what @purpleprinceweb did on this page. Every type of spring loads differently too!

    Redux is an over complicated tool which serves to make people feel better about having global state. It encourages coupling through ridiculous global events which could better be solved by allowing components to be self contained and not beholden to n-tier nonsense

    I really like these @bar_built protein bars but they have just terrible quality control. Yesterday's bar was missing half its chocolate. Today's wasn't properly sealed.
