  The way to draw a person everybody can be is to crop one, so the image gives away no gender, no age and no hairstyle.

  Their words

  I tried to crop a person it's not a person with a little square head it's the idea is it's a crop so you don't know the gender or the age or the hair do or really anything about this glimpse of a person.

  Their words

  All told, this is a read-in-one-sitting thriller that does as much to illuminate the workings and dynamics of patriarchy and religion as any gender studies class. It's peak Kritzer (so far), and that's saying something.

  Neither seats nor tokens can price an agent, because neither of them measures whether the job got done.

  Their words

  Seat based. Well, what is a seat? That doesn't make any sense. Consumption where it's like is it per message? Is it per token? Is it per conversation? And none of these things actually mapped very well to getting a job done and getting a job done well.

  Gravitational waves should be mapped as sound rather than pictured: they ring spacetime in the range a human ear could hear.

  So the idea is that they’re closer to something that you would want to map as a sound, than it’s something as a picture.

  React and TypeScript developers are infantilized by the ecosystem's thought leaders; anything beyond a simple CRUD app will need generics, mapped types and memoization.

  TypeScriptJavaScript

  Their words

  One thing that drives me crazy about the React ecosystem, and more specifically "tech influencers" and "thought leaders" in the space, is the infantilization of the developers using and working in it. I’m tired of reading takes like TypeScript generics, mapped types, etc should only be needed and used by library authors for most use cases. Or today’s discourse; Don’t use `useCallback’, ‘useMemo’, and React.memo. If you’re building anything beyond a simple CRUD app or a an incredibly focused app with few features, you _will_ need these features.
