Understanding the difference between grid-template and grid-auto

Ire Aderinokun:

Within a grid container, there are grid cells. Any cell positioned and sized using the grid-template-* properties forms part of the explicit grid. Any grid cell that is not positioned/sized using this property forms part of the implicit grid instead.

Unfortunately, the data of our components is sometimes only available after we have navigated to a specific part of our application. We can level up the user’s perceived performance by breaking the component into two pieces: the container (which displays a skeleton view when it’s empty) and the content. If we delay the rendering of the content component until we …

8 Tips for Great Code Reviews

Kelly Sutton with good advice on code reviews. Hard to pick a favorite. I like all the stuff about minding your tone and getting everyone involved, but I also think the computerization stuff is important:

Nicole Sullivan asked. People said:

  • 🐦 I write too many bugs without them.
  • 🐦 Avoiding bikeshedding.
  • 🐦 … to solve problems that are adjacent to, but distinct from, the problem I’m trying to solve at hand.
