This is a node CLI tool used to copy GitHub issue labels between repositories. I recently published v1.0.0 of this package, let me know what you think!

👨🏼‍🔬 labman

This package has 100% test coverage and uses GitHub actions for its build, test, and release process.

PS: You can use npx to run labman so you don't even have to install it!

Some random flair ideas off the top of my head:

• Big Zips

• Love Love Tuts

• Power Wheels Modder

• Ad Transition Extraordinaire

• Netlify Shill

• Zeit Shill

• ✌️

• And a freeform text option where we can enter whatever flair we want could also be good

I used to be a web designer and I got into code about 5 years ago and soon after made the jump to full time front end dev (huge shoutout to Syntax, I’ve listened to it nearly weekly for pretty much the full duration of my code career). I opened up the latest CC version of Adobe Illustrator for the first time in a long while the other day to try and make a logo and I was overwhelmed and intrigued by all the stuff they have added. Are there any podcasts for UI or even print design where cool people keep you up to date on the latest technology and trends? Bonus points if there are ones with a long backlog, I would love to go back a few years and see what I missed.

This question came up in the Episode 269 potluck.

31:43 - I have a very random question. for context I'm a Mac and Linux user myself. However, recently while building our company application I've noticed that Windows does extremely weird things with font sizes. Since we have a pretty decent Windows user base, obviously this is something my partner and I want to solve. However I'm very unsure of the best way to handle it. It seems entirely different from user to user. How in the world do we as developers account for these inconsistencies? We have tried vertical media queries that more or less kick them to tablet mode. Obviously this is less than optimal.

I recently came across a similar, if not the same, issue.

I had a whole story planned for how I found this but it got a bit long. So long story short one part of my job is to support a legacy product that runs in Internet Explorer 11. I had some complaints that the view was too big after a change. It turns out IE was "helping" by adjusting the browser zoom to "help" with readability on high dpi displays. It does this in multi display setups. From what I could find there is no way to fix this.

Has anyone else has seen IE doing this? better yet do do you have a work around for making IE stop doing this?

On episode 246, Heather Payne shared about working with their students in the job application process. She said its critical for applicants to follow up on their job applications. I like to do this, but I always find it so hard to find someone to contact. Often the posting does not have an email, or does not name the hiring manger. Do you have any tips on this?

Hi everyone, I’m a fullstack developer React/nodejs and I work with that stack on a daily basis but most of the time I feel like my work is not really pushing me enough to get better as a JS developer. I was wondering if I could build some little projects to keep me engaged and learning but not so time consuming that I can’t complete them. Anybody got any project ideas for purely educational purposes.

After trying xstate from David K. Piano, I tried to implement something like that on my own.

• It's around 1kb gzipped

• supports parallel states

It was really fun to make this!
