Why is the bridge in blue, red, yellow, and green tonight and tomorrow night?! Because May 4th is @_CodeCrew’s birthday, that’s why! #HappyBirthdayCodeCrew

We severely underestimated the tenacity of some of you, and the lengths you are willing to go to, to find out more about the P1P, so as a reward, here's another teaser (if we can call it that now), which you haven't managed to find 🦄😎

Here's a Reddit thread that confirms I'm not the only one who experiences my @ring doorbell going offline constantly. Full battery and right next to the router. Pretty sure it's just a defective product at this point. reddit.com/r/Ring/comments/v…

React Tip 💡
Get familiar with React-Query ASAP.
It's one of those libraries that will make your life as a developer (at least) 10x better.

Sure TailwindUI *looks* amazing but the real value is in the high quality sample copy

.@eBay support is absolutely the worst experience. A seller took my money and didn't send the item but cleverly gave me the run around until the window was closed for any of their support channels and I have seemingly no recourse. I can't even leave a review.

If you're just getting started with React, ⚠️ do not start with the official React docs ⚠️ – think of them as a historical artifact that's preserved for some reason.
The in-progress React beta docs are a much better starting point: beta.reactjs.org/learn

Spicier version: If you hate useEffect, it's probably because you should be using React Query

Another day another instance of me begging y'all to please use React Query for stuff like this.
You're writing 3x the code and throwing away all your errors and loading states for no reason.
ALT import { useQuery } from "react-query"; export const useHasRearFacingCamera = () => useQuery( "has-rear-camera", async () => await navigator.mediaDevices.getUserMedia({ video: { facingMode: { exact: "environment" } }, }) );
