Seemingly every recipe website. They tell a long, unrelated story, cover the page with ads, popups, slideouts, timer triggered ads, videos, etc.

It’s almost impossible to see the recipe under all the crap.

Yeah, that tracks.

At work someone estimated adding a section of static content to a page that uses React as 3 story points.

They were searching for components that would style the header and paragraph elements just as they wanted them, but were coming up short.

Instead I simply added it with html elements and a couple of lines of CSS.

That I’m on a computer programming all day for my job.

That I’m on a computer programming all night for fun.

Redeemed! Thank you very much. I’m excited to check it out.

I’m interested. Sounds like a neat game.

😊 I’ve heard it both ways. 🍍

Yeah, we altered our releases so we could get bug fixes out quicker - separate from features.

In fact, 2.0.5 is scheduled for release tomorrow 🤘

Almost daily to the Jellyfin Roku client.

Come join us if you want to work on some cool crap!
