PNG and JPEG are the most common image formats that exist. But they are old and not optimized for use on the web. It's 2022 and there are better alternatives! Ditch PNG and JPEG now and adopt WebP.

Template literals (`My name is ${name}`) have existed in JavaScript for a while. There is a good chance that it is your preferred way to concatenate strings in JavaScript.

When using open source code you might encounter bugs in this code. Since it's open source, you can find the faulty code and the fix it yourself.

In this article I’ll teach you the strategy of patching dependencies in node_modules by using patch files.
