I don’t mind HTML email, but it really can be overdone. There is a tendency to do too much. Too much layout. Too many images. Too much text. Too many styles. The reason I don’t mind it though is that the HTML part of an HTML email offers some styling control that, when reigned in, makes for a clear and nice-looking email. A plain text email can be nice too. The constraint of plain text can help an email get to the point and not do too much. But if we go for HTML email, we can apply just enough…

You can use many great tools to help you in your software development journey. One such tool is pre-commit, a framework for managing and maintaining multi-language pre-commit hooks. You use pre-commit to run one or more tools before allowing you to commit your code locally. For example, you might run the Flake8 linter or the Ruff formatter on your Python code in GitHub Actions or some other CI. But rather than waiting for CI to run, you want to run those checks locally and automatically. That is where pre-commit comes in. You tell pre-c0mmit what to run, and it will run right…
With the release of Angular 17.3, signal-based components have become a reality. A signal-based component is one in which all data inputs, outputs, and queries are independent of RxJs and use Angular Signals instead.In other words, here is how we used to write Angular components:import { AsyncPipe } from ‘@angular/common’;import { Component, EventEmitter, Input, Output, ViewChild } from ‘@angular/core’;@Component({//…})export class HelloComponent {@Input()name = ‘World’;@Output()greetingClicked = new EventEmitter();@ViewChild(ProfileComponent)profileComponent: ProfileComponent;Here is what the same component looks like with the signal-based approach:import { AsyncPipe } from ‘@angular/common’;import { Component, input, output, viewChild } from ‘@angular/core’;@Component({//…})export class HelloComponent {name = input(‘World’);greetingClicked = output();profileComponent =…
Asymmetric visibility for PHP property One of the lesser visible feature coming to PHP 8.4, pun intended, is the assymetric visibility for PHP properties. It is an upgrade of the current visibility, and also, a number of refined features over readonly, properties hooks or magic methods. It is not for everyone, but it might be quite useful. Let’s take a look! Asymmetric Visibility Personnally, I didn’t know that visibility was symmetric. How can public, protected and private have some symmetry? It actually boils down to read and write. A property is both private for reading and writing. That’s all. …
