Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity.

They are not the same.

As a senior, other devs are often like well it's a gnarly problem and I trust you. Which is great! And terrible! Because now I have to stop myself. πŸ˜‚πŸ˜­

One of the toughest transitions from mid to senior dev was that I know I *can* do a bunch of stuff I probably *shouldn't* do, but there are fewer people to say hey that's a terrible idea.

A bunch of squiggles and red text that is repeatedly saying "butts" as it lifts into a wave then descends

This is what UI design was meant for, and anyone who disagrees is a liar

Avoid forcing users to memorize information. For example, use field labels instead of placeholder text. Placeholder text disappears when users begin typing. This forces them to memorize placeholder text or delete information so they can see placeholders again.
