    ✅ ||
    ✅ &&
    ✅ !
    ? ! ( a || b )
    ✅ ! ( a && b )

    ✅ >=
    ? >
    ✅ <= ? < ✅ == ✅ != Bring on full calc support, bring on the syntax improvements.

  • Is there an upper limit to the number of times you can panic about lost work before realising you’ve checked out the wrong branch?

  • Cowboy merged a PR to my site yesterday to dump lower quality posts (social media styled notes) onto a separate domain. I don’t know if @jdevalk would love it or hate it, but I know his view would be firmly held.
