GSAP (Greensock Animation API) is an animation library that helps you create awesome animations. It can be used safely (back to IE6!) to create animations without jank, and it’s the only animation library (as far as I know) that handles SVG animations seamlessly.

This post will walk you through the performance tuning steps that I took to serve 1.2 million JSON "API" requests per second from a 4 vCPU AWS EC2 instance. For the purposes of this recreated quest, we will ignore most of the dead ends and dark alleyways that I had to struggle through on my solo expedition.

Instead, we will mainly stick to the happy path, moving steadily from serving 224k req/s at the start, with the default configuration, to a mind-blowing 1.2M req/s by the time we reach the end.

Ruby lets you express yourself like few other languages, with a minimum of boilerplate. It's fantastic until it isn't. Until one day when you think you're calling the `foo` method you wrote last week, but instead, you end up calling a `foo` method that came with some gem from 2008. In these situations, knowing about Ruby's method lookup rules will save your bacon.

This article will help you understand how Core Web Vitals correlate with key business metrics by exploring examples of companies which have already see positive impact for their users and business.

Why Core Web Vitals matter to your users and business

Different stakeholders in an organization can have different priorities. Core Web Vitals can bring them all on the same page by focusing on optimizing user-centric metrics and the resulting business growth.

Core Web Vitals as a ranking signal gives additional motivation to invest time in performance, adopting Core Web Vitals has many other short- and long-term benefits beyond ranking.

A couple of months ago we covered Deno, a new JavaScript runtime that is attempting to dethrone Node.js as the de facto runtime for executing JavaScript. Ironically, Deno is being developed by Ryan Dahl, the same developer who made Node.js back in 2009.

Aleph.js is essentially just Next.js built on Deno

Writing down a comment when you're coding might seem like you're going to help yourself or someone that might stumble upon your code, but, in reality, it might cause confusion and make your code less readable.

If you're just starting out with coding, you sometimes feel that you need to comment every line to get your point across. That's probably not the case most of the time and you're probably just adding unnecessary noise to your code.

Having comments in your codebase is something that requires constant attention. When you update a function, you must make sure you've updated its comment as well. That's why most of the comments you write go stale and just confuse you next time you bump into them.

You all remember this mindless CSS repetition:

section h1,
section h2, 
section h3,
article h1,
article h2,
article h3 {
  /* styles here */
}

I always loathed having to do that -- lots of maintenance cost and bloated CSS files. This is where :is comes to the rescue:

:is(section, article) :is(h1, h2, h3) {
  /* styles here */
}

A superb tool indeed. Good UI with clear instructions and explanations. Worth trying!

I'm drunk and I'll probably regret this, but here's a drunken rank of things I've learned as an engineer for the past 10 years.

• The best way I've advanced my career is by changing companies.
• Technology stacks don't really matter because there are like 15 basic patterns of software engineering in my field that apply. I work in data so it's not going to be the same as webdev or embedded. But all fields have about 10-20 core principles and the tech stack is just trying to make those things easier, so don't fret overit.
• There's a reason why people recommend job hunting. If I'm unsatisfied at a job, it's probably time to move on.
• ....

This is a long post containing more than 50 points, drunk and honest post.

GoTTY is a simple command line tool that turns your CLI tools into web applications.
