- Temporal! The stage 3 TC39 proposal we all love that fixes JavaScript's Date. Had a lot of movement in '21-'22, but not much in '23. Should we assume it's still on its way to stage 4? Should we feel ok using js-temporal/polyfill — not just to try it, but in prod for big apps?
- An opinionated, encouraging iOS nurse/coach app that uses workouts & health metrics from my Apple Watch, analyzes them w/quarterly blood test & vitals (that I get done at any local lab), and gives me personalized health alerts and suggestions. Local data only w/on-device ML.
- One goal I have for 2024 is to completely relearn CSS. So much has changed (for the better!) and I am definitely thinking and writing CSS from the last decade. Time to pretend like I know nothing and learn the CSS of 2024 and beyond!
- Migrating your codebase to TypeScript? As I onboard here at Slack, I'm learning about how they migrated from PHP to Hack. They learned it was best to start as low as possible by first typing the results of database queries, then typing return values of functions. Makes sense!
