Vim's dot command (.) repeats the last normal-mode change — insert, delete, change — with counts, across buffers. It's the lightweight alternative to macros for single-edit repetition, and the foundation for repeatable custom operators via vim-repeat.
Vite's SWC-based React plugin replaces Babel with a Rust compiler for faster JSX transforms. Here's the migration, how to measure the gain on your own codebase, and the Babel-plugin trade-offs that decide whether it's worth it.

Flaky Selenium tests fail with four distinct exception signatures, and each one points at a different cause. Learn to capture browser state at failure time, then match the fix—explicit waits, re-finding elements, or clearing overlays—to the actual finding.
Tower's drag-and-drop interactive rebase and broad Cmd/Ctrl+Z undo make local history cleanup approachable — here's how to use them safely, and where the GUI's convenience ends.
Elastic pools let many tenant databases share one block of Azure SQL capacity. How the sharing works, a CLI configuration to copy, and the limits that bite in production.

An architecture note on using @dataclass(frozen=True, slots=True) as a minimal typed container for internal service messages: requirements, boundary validation, checks, and failure modes.
How to break strong reference cycles in Objective-C blocks using the __weak-strong pattern to prevent memory leaks under ARC.
Callbacks and GCD can hide bugs and leak work. Swift 5.5+ structured concurrency—async/await, TaskGroup, and actors—offers a compile-time-safe replacement. This guide covers wrapping callbacks, parallel fan-out, actor isolation, and migration steps.
