We just launched http:///bito.co as a Chrome extension. It's like a Swiss Army knife for developers that let you do many things using AI. It's also integrated with JetBrain and VSC IDE.

Well thanks for a quick reply, I have tried again, I get exactly stuck on the step where I have to input my workspace name, and yet after that the next button is not visible and yet the view is not scrollable, some responsive issue here, I have however used tab key to tab up-to the button, I didn't think of that the first trial. But that's the issue apparently!

great, it seems the button is hidden on the low resolution screen, and scrollbars don't work. We will fix it soon. Curious what resolution you have on your computer?

Great post!! Thanks for sharing. You might want to check the ModHeader extension for your next edition. One of the simplest yet most powerful extensions that modify the HTTP request header in the browser. I have been using this for ages and find it very useful all the time.

If you want to try something innovative, try Dedalium, a game that takes place on any website while you surf the internet. If working doesn't leave you time for playing any game, this is the perfect fit!

11 Tips That Make You a Better Typescript Programmer

1 Think in {Set}

#2 Understand declared type and narrowed type

One extremely powerful typescript feature is automatic type narrowing based on control flow. This means a variable has two types associated with it at any specific point of code location: a declaration type and a narrowed type.

#3 Use discriminated union instead of optional fields
