JSON.parse()
A performance trick that’s been doing rounds on Twitter, now available as a video: Because the JSON grammar is much simpler than JavaScript’s grammar, JSON can be parsed more efficiently than JavaScript. This knowledge can be applied to improve start-up performance for web apps that ship large JSON-like configuration object literals (such as inline Redux …

Of course it had to be done: What I found most peculiar is that only the front lights are generated content, all the rest is gradients. Only detail that’s missing are the smashed windows 😜 Oh, Here’s another nice version (no single div though): See the Pen Pure CSS CYBRTRK 🚙 by Jhey (@jh3y) on …
Dmitri Pavlutin has compared the several ways to fecthing data in React. Lifecycle methods had been for a long time the only solution to fetching. However fetching using them has problems with lots of boilerplate code, duplication, and reusability difficulties. Fetching using hooks is a better alternative: way less boilerplate code. Suspense’s benefit is declarative …

list-style-type: <string>

David Thompson on his favorite Git commit: a single character fix, but with one hell of an explanation: In a different organisation, from a different developer, this entire commit message might have been change whitespace, or fix bug, or (depending on the team’s culture) some less than flattering opinions about the inventor of the non-breaking …
package.json with npm-add-script
Recently I needed to automate the addition of the addition of a script defined in a package.json‘s scripts section. To do this I used npm-add-script (an older, but still functioning project), along with the aforementioned npx.
