Scott's Snowboarding Accident
- Scott Jalinski suffered a concussion while snowboarding after catching an edge on a steep slope.
- Luckily, a Syntax listener, Brian Dunn, was there to help him.
Axios vs. Fetch
- Use Axios if your project requires features like interceptors or default headers.
- Consider alternatives like Xior, ky, or custom fetch wrappers for simpler projects to reduce bundle size.
HTMX Limitations
- HTMX shines when your server and UI are tightly coupled, primarily serving HTML for a single UI.
- It's less suitable for local-first apps or APIs supporting multiple diverse UIs.
