This is a good article and a solid take-away: be deliberate about where you're willing to take on cognitive debt.
A radar graph of a spellbook showing its composition of Damage, Control, Support and Utility spells.
Did a fun thing with my 5e Spellbook Builder — categorized all 410 spells in the game with what kind of spell they actually are (5e-spellbook.app/blog/categor...) and you can see your spellbooks' composition.
Canadians you are not prepared for the temperature he tells you he is experiencing here.
One of the best ways I know to sort Gen Xers/old Millennials into levels of trustworthiness is to take note of which beloved 80s/90s comic strip they never shut up about. Calvin & Hobbes?

Modelling your OS after the UI of your least popular product (by many orders of magnitude) is a choice.

MacOS 26 / #liquidglass is a door knob.
I downloaded Wikipedia to my local machine to kick off my new Information Furnace.
Really disappointed with the "Liquid Glass" in the new MacOS.

A screenshot of a PDF generated by 5e-spellbook.app that shows 9 spell cards per page for printing.
I added PDF generation for printing D&D spellbooks you build in 5e-spellbook.app, entirely in the browser with ekoopmans.github.io/html2pdf.js/ and was surprised at how little I had to fight it and how good the result appears to be. #5e #webapps
