    Has anyone built the opposite of code linters? Instead of only telling me all the stuff I did wrong, tell me all the stuff I did right so I'm excited to keep going :D.

    Is this where the new module system comes into effect? Haven’t fully explored it because of how verbose it would make some things in our codebase and that CSS vars are most likely our future anyway.

    Reason this is hitting me now is we’ve long recommended variable overrides in Bootstrap should come after the _variables.scss partial is imported so you can use other variables we provide (e.g., another color), but then this comes up.

    How did I not realize or remember that overriding default variables in Sass after they’re declared doesn’t update any reassigned variables? You have to override first for it to take affect throughout.

    If you like a little behind the scenes stuff from GitHub’s Design teams, be sure to check out this whole series. Latest post wraps it up with some fun early explorations and a look at how we worked together for the new homepage. 🐙😺

    When the team approached redesigning the GitHub homepage, it required building the story from the ground up. Hear from our Web and Brand Design team on how they captured a day in the life of developers using GitHub.

    Anyone dealing with a torn labrum (right shoulder) and have recommendations for better office chair and desk setup? Feel like no amount of proper posture and ergonomics gives me any pain relief.
