A Better Button Component with Composition | timomeh.de

Shitty button components. We've all seen them, we've all written them. But they don't have to stay shitty! I wrote about building better button components, with simple patterns that I now use everywhere.

Milgram experiment - Wikipedia

I'm just a little bit proud that I connected Severance to the Milgram Experiment all by myself, because I remembered a vsauce video.

> willingness of […] participants to obey an authority […] who instructed them to perform acts conflicting with their […] conscience

Meme with Elmo in the middle. On the left side fruits with the caption "fix app crash when seeking through videos". On the right side a pile of white powder with the caption "swap navigation items". Elmo looks to the right side and then sticks his nose into the white powder.

Dishwashers should yell at you if you close them before going to bed but forget to turn them on.

I don't know where and why I believed this, but I read some time ago that the CSS preferred color scheme shouldn't be overridden with the color-scheme property... but it totally should! Why did I believe this? Gosh, now I need to revise that blog article.
