This is a great example of how a font can really compliment the style you're going for. It fits so well that you hardly notice it at all.

Haven't used MSW, but don't people use it for mocking APIs? Isn't that apples and oranges? If your stories need data, you can always still use MSW. But otherwise when it comes to testing (in the app vs. Stories) I'd agree. Not exactly testing, but the play feature beats E2E if you want to show a smooth demo for clients/fellow devs.
As far as live reload, you're right but only once you've achieved the state. If you're firing up storybook or moving between components, you can already have any state ready to go (or quickly set with the controls). If you're in the actual app and don't have something like Redux Dev Tools, you have to manually go through the steps.... which can be a pain.
That said, so far I'm only using Storybook for the "component library" use case. And for that it's a big improvement from the previous DIY app I had.

At first, I was confused by what OP meant, too, but I think the point is that if you can mock your data easily, then getting your app into the desired state is straightforward enough that Storybook becomes unnecessary. At least, that's how I interpreted it.

I'm glad it's not just me who has noticed this!
Would either of you mind expanding on this? What kind of roles have you held?

I wish someone came up with a better UI than the toggle. Usually, I understand what it means, but I often find toggles where it isn't clear what the state of the toggle is. Right vs left, color vs no color, just isn't obvious to me. A visible check in a box is crystal clear.
The article linked by the commenter above addressed your concern. They mention the toggle should have an _immediate_ state change. I really liked the iOS airplane mode example the article used:
> When turning airplane mode on for iOS, Apple provides immediate results by changing the cellular bars in the upper left-hand corner to an airplane icon.
To summarize, it sounds like the toggles you've experienced haven't led to an immediate state change, which likely identifies them as better candidates for a checkbox like you mentioned.
While it's always great to see performance gains, my largest pain point with prettier was never performance. Instead my only gripe with prettier is the "line wrapping noise" it creates, illustrated here by Anthony Fu: https://antfu.me/posts/why-not-prettier#the-line-wrapping-no...
Would it be realistic to expect a solution for this issue now that "prettier needs to step up it's game"?
Specifically for reviewing a pull request in GitHub, wouldn't the "Hide whitespace" setting reduce some of this noise? I could be mistaken, though, but that's how I interpreted that setting.

Douglas Downing's Trigonometry Made Easy is also a really great book for non-maths people. Same approach of situating Trigonometry in a mythical fantasy land. I remember Trigonometry as a chore of trying to memorize double-angle formulas and such, but this book really helped connect trig in an intuitive way.
I didn't know he had a calculus book, I'll have to check it out now.

To me, understanding math in an intuitive way is actually how "maths people" think about math. The numbers and formulas are just a means to an end to get there.
So young and yet already so full of advice …
The advice in this blog post is specific to college, and the author of this post is in their last year; they certainly have the qualifications to give advice catered to incoming college students.
For what it's worth, I've been out of college for a bit, and I've had very similar sentiments towards college as the author, but they came to me much later than they did for the author.
I might also resonate more with the article because I was one of those people who fell into the trap of following my peers instead of prioritizing what I was actually interested in.
One thing that happens when you learn to build web things using React before learning html, is that you don't care about links.
When I joined my team, all links were buttons, random elements, or <a> with onClick. Nobody complained, but that meant ctrl click was useless, right click did not give you the options you wanted.
This is the only thing I'm a dictator about. There is zero room for negotiation when it comes to links.
I'd argue the link is the most influential and historic element of the web. Its behavior should rightfully be preserved.

The really impressive thing is... if you follow a user profile link to a comment and vote, the vote doesn't count.
And it was really hard to see spez's comments without following them from his profile, because they were so downvoted.
So I don't even know how you get down to -1000 on comments.

I've been a Reddit user for a while, but I never knew this. I tried doing a quick search, but it dates back to 2015 when it seems they were actually disabled all together from the profile page [0].

You got me wondering:
> the whole bridge failed because the impact didn't exceed the impact strength of the bridge's material
When I first read this, it initially threw me off. The cargo ship's impact not exceeding the strength of the bridge sounds like a positive thing, but upon closer reading of your comment, it sounds as if it was the catalyst to the entire bridge collapsing.
So, how do engineers balance these properties of impact strength and tensile strength, especially considering large ships channel through these bridges near their pylons frequently? How much engineering goes into the possibility of large structures hitting their pylons?
