Wow. Just wow.
Incredible storytelling. It's been a while since I've read something that immerses me into its world quite like this one.
You should give it a read.

If you build anything on the web, performance is a topic you likely want to know about.

Changing to 4 day weeks was the best thing I did a couple of years ago. I did it after a burnout as desperate measures but I'd love to do it in future jobs as well when possible.
I ended up with a "Wednesdays off" model and it was brilliant. I only ever had to work two days in a row which lead to me being much more energetic and productive for those days and it helped give me an extra day to run errands which in turn gave more time for weekends to relax and recharge.

In my previous job, I was often asked how I measure things and I always answered: "I only care about the smiles on people's faces when they leave" and was so happy to have a job that allowed that.
That story came to mind when reading these two posts.

I feel like calling the feedback and genuine impact as "metrics" would do more disservice to them than ignoring them as such.
Maybe it's my disdain towards the term "metric" that is coloring my interpretation though.

When the company calls their home appliances "smart", what I hear is:
- they spent money on features I don't care about
- those features will be worse than standalone devices but will drive them out of market (looking at you TVs)
- the appliance is more likely to break
- my data is likely being sold to advertisers
- when the company loses interest in it and cut support, I will need to buy a new device
So no, I don't want "smart" home appliances.

My current idea/project is building a progressively enhanced code block with an ability to add custom annotations (basically highlights + explanations) to them.

I don't know why but I find learning #WebComponents so hard, despite knowing HTML, CSS and Javascript relatively well. I try to follow guides and docs and have a clear idea on what I want to achieve but somehow I can't seem to make any progress getting them done.
