That boolean should probably be something else - Nicole

This is a great (short) article on using booleans.

They feel like they make sense for our data, but they make sense for our logic. The data is usually something different underneath. By storing a boolean as our data, we’re coupling that data tightly to our application logic.

Instead, we should remain critical and ask what data the boolean depends on, and should we maybe store that instead? It comes easier with practice. Really, all good design does. A little thinking up front saves you a lot of time in the long run.

Yes 💯

I know that using an em-dash is treated as a sign of using LLMs. LLMs are never used for my writing. I just really like em-dashes and have a dedicated key for them on one of my keyboard layers

As a longtime em-dash user myself, I should start adding this to my posts.
