In Nightdrive, James Stanley gives us both a visual experience of driving at night and an explanation of how it works. It’s a simple idea put to good effect, though if you want something more intense, try Rezmason’s Drivy.. 😁 While we’re having some fun down here: over on Twitter, Nils Eriksson decided to get crafty and 🐦 implemented Tic-Tac-Toe in TypeScript types (known as ‘noughts and crosses’ in my kingdom) and wrote an extensive blog post about it. XOX. Till next week! |
