Achievement Unlocked: Planted into the mat from near the top of a boulder because while I’d got up, I had insufficient energy left to get back down again.

I’ve decided I’m dubbing VR headsets “funny metaverse hats”. Sorry, Zuck, you brought that one on yourself.

Me, 90 minutes ago: I’ll see how far I get on this in half an hour.

I’m very much enjoying having A Project but it’s not doing my sleep cycle any good at all. Or more accurately my sleep deficit, because unfortunately just because I’m going to bed an hour or so late most nights doesn’t mean I can get up an hour or so late the next day.

The official documentation recommends “use multiple cursor editing” as an approach to manage the vast amount of duplication everywhere. Someone actually sat down, wrote that, and recorded a little video to go with it.

They do concede that sometimes you might, shock, horror, write your own CSS class. This should be avoided though.
