Albert Heijn needs to give their AH-mobiel pre-paid user-experience more love

A while ago Andy Gocke posted this bit of C# 11 code:

[Wayback/Archive] Andy Gocke on Twitter: “Can’t believe none of that “C# is turning into F#” people have noted that this is legal code in C# 11″

Web UI/UX & coding tip: if you have tabular data, display them using table/tr/th/td (via Victor on Twitter)

[Wayback/Archive] Victor on Twitter: “UI/UX & Coding Tip 💡 Do you need to display table data? Use tables. Yes, , and . Yes, it’s fine. No, you don’t need flex, grids, divs, and all that. Why? Because it’s a table 🤷‍♂️”
