my least favorite game is pressing the play/pause key on my keyboard late at night when my wife is sleeping and wondering if it will correctly start apple music, or if it for some reason will start playing music through our bedroom sonos speaker

i tell myself i should learn how to navigate my code base in chrome’s inspector just so i can place breakpoints faster. but writing ’debugger’ with HMR really is good enough for me.
