The last part of this series is taking our site that we’ve got in GitHub and addng an Astro build process to it, then mapping a domain we own to the Netlify-hosted site.

Josh Comeau does a great job with beginner-friendly explanations of important concepts, and Promises From The Ground Up is no exception. In a nutshell, we have Promises because we need callbacks. We need callbacks because JavaScript is single-threaded and can’t wait around for things. And so we dance. These days, you’ll see more async and […]

It’s pretty straightforward to animate list items into new positions, but there is a few tricks when the specific one you’ve chosen to move needs a *different* transition.

And we’re still doing the messy, meaningful work of bridging the gap between what a company thinks developers want and what developers actually need. I liked the perspective that it’s actually better for […]
