- Should We Rebrand JavaScript? - For pretty much the entire article I personally was thinking "actually I quite like javascript" but then right at the end the author suggests WebJS and ServerJS which I actually quite like
- The power of JSON.stringify replacer parameter - Really useful for sanitizing objects before printing them for example to logs
- My favourite Git commit - Quite a good illustration that sometimes long git commit messages can be very useful, I mostly agree with the author, but the commit message he presents is really quite long
- The Wayback Machine - Fighting Digital Extinction in New Ways - Improved Save Page Now, and also the addition of Collections, Changes and Show All Captures - The new features sound great, I tried the new Save Page Now, but the screenshot it took appears as "This page is not available on the web" and the saved page looks like it was from yesterday which is sort of confusing, probably worth checking again in a few days, perhaps there are some rollout issues - The old Save Now feature doesn't appear to be working, it's returning an error since yesterday
- JAMstack Tools and The Spectrum of Classification - Really good overview of all things JAMstack, posts like these are really needed in this space which can seem quite scattered, but when you have the classifications it's actually very structured
- Facebook chief rules out banning political adverts
