    The javascript community fought hard for the fat arrow syntax, () => {}. It’s shorter for sure. But way more annoying to type on a regular basis than function() {}. And that is the folly of programmer culture IMO. Constantly optimizing the wrong things for the wrong reasons.

    Pro tip: Associating a form element with its label using the `for` attribute will trigger its `hover` pseudo selector, eg. hovering the label will trigger hover styles for the form element. No JS required.
