This is pretty cool! Thanks for sharing.

If you're paid then sure. Otherwise... It depends.

Is a doctor doing volunteer work still obligated to wash their hands between patients?

Is a food pantry giving away free food obligated to check expiration dates and make sure the food is properly sealed?

Volunteer work absolutely has obligations, and I do not know why software volunteers are exempt from any responsibility unless they are being paid.

If you do not want to do the volunteer work in a safe way, please hand off the job to a volunteer willing to do so.


The grid doesn't need to be down, your solar just needs to produce more than you're using.

It's called USB power delivery

You could argue that we have security licenses (eg SOC 2), however I don't think it actually succeeds in making software safe. I think software is hard because unlike a bridge, which is built with limited scope and the risk is known when it's designed, software grows to become load bearing without us really realizing it. Eg CrowdStrike, I never would have assumed that an outage could affect so much of the world.


Dev tools in the browser are a direct editor, sure you can't drag things around with the mouse, but you can edit values live and see them change. Big difference from recompiling to see changes.


You can but good CSS devs don't have to. They know pretty accurately what it will look like in code


Because npm is not an os package manager, it's a nodejs package manager


It’s actually not node specific


Yeah I don't understand how the article started with, we want this ["value"] but got this [value] but doing that wasn't the solution?
