stupid jj tricks
andre.arko.net/2025/09/28/stupid-jj-tricksWelcome to “stupid jj tricks”. Today, I’ll be taking you on a tour through many different jj configurations that I have collected while scouring the internet. Some of what I’ll show is original research or construction created by me personally, but a lot of these things are sourced from blog post, gists, GitHub issues, Reddit posts, Discord messages, and more.

CSS Classes considered harmful
www.keithcirkel.co.uk/css-classes-considered-harmfulThe solution to all of these problems

Attributes
Attributes allow us to parameterise a component using a key-value representation, very similar to Map<string, T>. Browsers come with a wealth of selector functions to parse the values of an attribute.

Proposal for a Django project template
david.guillot.me/en/posts/tech/proposal-for-a-django-project-templateMy take on what could be a project template for Django advanced usage, with modern tooling (for Python and UI dependencies, as well as configuration/environment management), but not too opinionated.

The Pinebook Pro laptop was mentioned at one point, which has the same RockChip SoC as the RockPro64. That reminded me I'd been wanting to give this inexpensive ARM 64 laptop a try.
