"You know there's been a better way since like IE 10". Nope, didn't know. Thanks for the tip and the subtle burn 🔥 ;)

Template Literal Types are awesome. If you concat `number` and a union of time units, you have a human readable AND type-safe way to provide time values! 👇

I tell my students: Budget math isn't about arithmetic. Budgets are statements of values, and behind every number is a choice about who and what we value. So as you evaluate the Republican budget bill, ask yourself: Does it give voice to your values?

My daughter was watching this video on her tablet as I was reading through my post about America’s rededication as One Nation Under God on May 17th and Trump reading 2 Chronicles 7:11-22 about God responding to Solomon after the Temple's completion, promising to hear prayers and heal the land if His people humble themselves, pray, and repent. So weird this was what my daughter was watching as I was reading through my post. There are no coincidences. The signs are everywhere! 👀🙏🏼
