Sick pics are just things that we like. It could be literally anything. I have a podcast for you sick picking a podcast. One of my favorite comedians and movie podcast hosts has a new podcast called The Rodge Tapes. And it took me five episodes to realize there was like an M night Shyamalan twist about this podcast.
In this episode of Syntax, Wes and Scott answer coding questions posed by ChatGPT like what’s the difference between rem and em in CSS, the difference between a callback function and a promse in Node, what are Fastify plugins, and more!
