How to structure functions When it comes to writing functions, there are two extremes: One really big function that does all the things. Lots of really small functions that do just a single thing. In my experience, beginners tend to write really big functions, while more seasoned devs tend to break stuff up into lots of really small “pure” functions. While I think smaller, more narrowly focused functions are better for readability and maintaining code, it can also lead to code bases that are big nested dolls of functions calling functions that call other functions that call more functions.

I guess, to give it the benefit of the doubt, the question is ever so slightly ambiguous. 😬

Turning off inheritance on custom props is more useful than I'd thought
Turning off inheritance on custom props is more useful than I'd thought YouTube video by Kevin Powell

The nice thing with custom properties is that they inherit... except there are times when turning off inheritance with a registered custom property is super useful!

I shared an example of turning it off for a layout in this video... anyone have any other use cases?

Using Locally-Installed CLI Tools In Node Projects Writing about the big beautiful mess that is making things for the world wide web.

📝 Work on multiple projects that have a CLI tool whose functionality differs from one project to the next, so you always need to use the locally-installed version? You can do:

1. npx <tool>
2. node_modules/.bin/<tool>
3. npm run <tool-cmd>

premium segment phones make up a tiny fraction of the overall smartphone market. *MOST* devices cost *much* less than $350 (new, unlocked), which is $85 less than the cheapest new iPhone you can buy.

Single-core CPU performance continues to be abysmal in the Android ecosystem. And it's worse than even this looks because *most* phones are more than 2 years old.

Cannot emphasise enough how out of touch web developers have become. The blue dotted line in this chart is worldwide average selling price for smartphones over the past decade, and the second chart is CPU performance.

§2.1 First Rule of ARIA Use: If you can use a native HTML element [HTML51] or attribute with the semantics and behavior you require already built in, instead of re-purposing an element and adding an ARIA role, state or property to make it accessible, then do so. Under what circumstances may this not be possible? • If the feature is available in HTML [HTML51] but it is not implemented or it is implemented, but accessibility support is not. • If the visual design constraints rule out the use of a particular native element, because the element cannot be styled as required. • If the feature is not currently available in HTML.

The first rule of ARIA isn’t quite, as the quip goes, “Don’t use ARIA” — and I wonder how many people have been discouraged from diving into ARIA from being told the quippy version.

If quip we must, I hereby humbly submit the (also imperfect!) “ARIA is not the first resort.”
