I learned that in SwiftUI if you don’t want a view to re-render when one of its properties changes, but you need it to have that property/state because it needs passing to children, you can just make it a regular variable without the @PropertyWrapper.

Seems pretty obvious in hindsight!!

Became alot more knowledgeable about using Jira and our clients expectations

Bookmarklets haha I didn't even know they existed(was always using tampermonkey and such), in addition adjusting html on the fly for our logging system

*13 days is a long week, next time you put your hand up for OT, specify that you meant either day, not both xD

If I had a dollar for every time something seemed obvious in retrospect....

For tech things that I learn and want not to "forget" I create a snippet here: https://www.codrut.pro/snippets/ Last week was: - Git refined diff output: https://www.codrut.pro/snippets/git-refined-diff-output/ - Test for Emacs compiler warnings: https://www.codrut.pro/snippets/test-for-emacs-compiler-warn...

Love your snippets storage, I should do that on a cloud-storage.

Last week felt like I finally understand how webauthn and passkeys work - now my auth server has a "passwordless" login flow https://github.com/authcompanion/authcompanion2

Was there anything in particular that made this click for you? If you have any resources to share I'd love to see them.

I've been learning a lot, fast, by trying to build out the same (very simple) full-stack web application in using different frameworks. Different backends, different frontends and different databases. Admittedly, I've been doing this for slightly more than one week. It's been a lot of fun, I must admit. It's interesting to see the different quality levels in documentation, availability of help on StackOverflow, and t…

Interesting, which has had the best docs so far? I often feel that the docs make the language, and it's not a thing that many folks talk about.

I learnt to double check that an image will actually work on my device. Tried flashing a newer version of DD-WRT to a router I was using as a wireless bridge. That device is now an ugly paperweight and I have two computers without internet.
