One key thing I've learned about habit building is that following the routine is more important than knocking it out of the park each time. Even a horrible, short workout when you're feeling off is worth it... if only because you don't break the pattern.

You're tired of AI tweets. I am, too. But it really is amazing that we all inherited a free (or nearly free) personal virtual assistant.
As a very small business owner, things like this save *so* much time.

useRef is pretty weird in TypeScript.
Here's a couple of gotchas that I always run into:

At a previous job, users complained about how inaccessible our product was. A few of us tried to convince leadership to prioritize #a11y, but to no avail. Here are my learnings and persuasion tactics if you're in the same boat! uxdesign.cc/why-should-i-car…

The tech industry has some funny idioms, so I decided to select my 5 favorites, dive in, define them, and find their origins.
If you're new to tech and have ever wondered what rubber duck debugging, bike shedding, or dogfooding means, give it a read! levelup.gitconnected.com/dem…

TypeScript annoys me sometimes.
So, I decided to do something about it...
![const arr = [1, 2, 3, undefined]; const result = arr.filter(Boolean); console.log(result); // Array<number | undefined> // WHYYYYYYYYY](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Fpay1evXEAEJvKv.jpg?name=orig)

If you don't know generics, I promise you'll understand them by the end of this thread.
I like a challenge.

useZodState for a typesafe alternative to useState. All you need to do is pass in a Zod schema 🔥
![export const useZodState = <T extends z.ZodType<any, any>>( schema: T, defaultValue: z.infer<T> ) => { const [state, setState] = useState<z.infer<T>>(defaultValue); const setStateWithSchema = (value: any) => { setState(schema.parse(value)); }; return [state, setStateWithSchema] as const; } const [example, setExample] = useZodState(z.number(), 0);](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Fo8hj3GaMAEFuuA.jpg?name=orig)

Last time we did a mentor post, many people found a mentor. Let's do another round!

I've been slowly working away on a game development site sidequest.dev/
I have a totally free online book to create Flappy Bird from scratch in the web as well: sidequest.dev/courses/flappy… - demo of what you'll be building available on the welcome page :)

I've been playing with a sand simulation using my ECS. It's so relaxing to fiddle with!

After 10+ years of trying to find an approach to CSS architecture that was productive and easy to maintain, this is what my *hand-written* CSS eventually looked like once I found something that finally worked.
Did it still count as CSS then? 🤡
