- Array.prototype.at() is available now! Don't be the _last_ to know about it 🙂 ◦ Chrome 92 ◦ Firefox 90 ◦ Node.js 16.5.0 developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web…
![const letters = ['a', 'b', 'c']
// old way to get "c"
let last1 = letters[letters.length - 1]
// another old way to get "c"
let last2 = letters.slice(-1)[0]
// new way to get "c"
let last3 = letters.at(-1)](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/E7g7bl2XEAIQ-3Y.jpg)
- ⚛️ The @reactjs team cut the dependency bloat in v16.5.0 quite a bit! 😮 [email protected] is 2x smaller than the previous version... [email protected] is a whopping 8x smaller than the previous version! packagephobia.now.sh/result?p=react
- The TypeScript 5 beta removed an unused 26.3 MB of JS making it smaller than TypeScript 3 🤯 Pro tip: you can track bloat over time using Package Phobia 💚 packagephobia.com/result?p=types…

- If you have scripts in your package.json that call other scripts, make sure they are package agnostic by using "$npm_execpath" This ensures the package manager you used to start the script is used to run the nested scripts. This is particularly important for "postinstall"!
- In 2010, I bought a domain to host my web apps and get a custom email address. Back then, GApps was free for 5 users (renamed to GSuite and now Google Workspace) but today its $6/user/mo. Instead of paying $30/mo for vanity email, I now pay $1/mo with iCloud+ forwarding.
