Do you sometimes write commit messages with embarrassing typos and push it to remote ?

Fear not! here's a full proof systematic way of writing a good commit message that can be brief as well as free of typo's.

Follow the following steps

Open VS-Code editor ever time you want to write a commit message.

$ git config --global core.editor "code --wait"

Install spell check extension

Start using `git commit` instead of `git commit -m ....`

So, now every time you wish to make a commit just use git commit which will open code editor where you can write a commit message and check and fix if there's any typo in your commit message

How true is "jack of all trades, master of none" in tech industry ?

One Of The Most Underrated Javascript Method

Jay — Fri, 06 Sep 2019 15:19:26 +0000

some() returns a boolean value. It checks whether at least one element in the array passes the test condition supplied to callback function.

Now lets say you have an array of dishes

const buffet = [
 { dish: 'butter chicken' , type: 'non-veg' },
 { dish: 'mutton curry' , type: 'non-veg' },
 { dish: 'meat balls' , type: 'non-veg' },
 { dish: 'butter paneer' , type: 'veg' },
 { dish: 'mutton curry' , type: 'non-veg' },
 { dish: 'meat balls' , type: 'non-veg' },
 { dish: 'mutton curry' , type: 'non-veg' },
 { dish: 'meat balls' , type: 'non-veg' },
 { dish: 'butter paneer' , type: 'veg' },
]

Now let's say you want to check if the buffet has a veg item. Most of the time I have seen people doing something like (including me ... until I came across this method)

let containsVegItem;
buffet.forEach((dish) => {
    if (dish.type === 'veg') {
     containsVegItem = true;
         return
    }
})

Which can be simply done by one line using some() which also gives added performance benefits

buffet.some((dish) => dish.type === 'veg')

Following are some performance benchmarks


console.time('P1');
let containsVegItem;
buffet.forEach((dish) => {
    if (dish.type === 'veg') {
     containsVegItem = true;
         return
    }
})
console.timeEnd('P1')

>>> P1: 0.052978515625ms


console.time('P2');
buffet.some((dish) => dish.type === 'veg')
console.timeEnd('P2');

P2: 0.0400390625ms

Thanks for reading the post so far.
No , there's no promotion at bottom 🤣 ... if you find it useful feel free to hit a like ... and it's ok if you are shy and don't want to 😂
