I thought I blew my weeks of effort and lost nights of studying "System Design" with a lousy final interview. But today they called and offered me the role! I am beyond ecstatic and feel reinvigorated.

I cannot express strongly enough how much it sucks having to go to London to get my marathon bib days before the actual marathon. What a waste of time and money for something they could have posted. 6 hours I'm not getting back...

Whenever I finish a book I want to find podcasts that discuss it. I haven't found a solution yet, so I'm thinking of building something myself. Thoughts? #booksky

I've been putting off setting up some home battery automation to discharge what's left at the end of each day (before recharging on the off-peak overnight rate). I procrastinated as I couldn't be bothered to work out a clever way to avoid discharging energy I'd want to use in the evening. (cont)

This is how you "break link between the price of gas and the price of electricity": building more wind power, solar, grid upgrades and grid batteries. In March gas set the price of electricity some 65% of the time – it used to be 98% across a year

Your mobile hero section looks perfect in dev tools. Then you test on a real phone and half of it is hidden behind the address bar. The solution? Three new CSS viewport units: svh, lvh, and dvh.

Three smartphones display different viewport heights: svh for small, lvh for large, and dvh for dynamic changes with browser UI.

Ever noticed how your entire page shifts when you open a modal? That's not a bug, that's a missing CSS property.

Three browser window illustrations show changes before and after a modal opens, highlighting scrollbar behavior and layout shifts.
