A product that (almost) everyone uses from mid-sized tech companies and up but I rarely hear talked about: Grafana

🤣I used to bite my nails when I was younger so my mum bought some stuff to paint on my nails which tasted horrible, in the hope that it would deter me. However, it tasted so bad that I wouldn't let her apply it again so it didn't really work. I'm assuming the batteries will taste the same.

Yes, I am so bored that I googled what batteries taste like.

I've completed A Night With Mrs. Claus - Advent of TypeScript 2024 adventofts.com/events/2024/8

It's so strange, like yesterday, my solution didn't work at first but then I typed it in again and the tests passed.

I can't get past day 8. I'm sure I've done what I need to but the tests aren't passing. I had a similar issue with Day 7, it's like the tests don't re-run 🤷

I always think it should be pronounced "versus code" like you're fighting with the code.

People used to be warned about misinformation online but now we've actually built misinformation machines and that's apparently fine.

These seem pretty hard for day 2, vastly different of the level Advent of Typescript has started at. Let's hope they don't get massively more difficult else I won't make it past day 4!
