How we learned nothing from Yarn</a> – Jared Wilcurt gets spicy with Bun. I'm curious what your thoughts are on the post. I'm excited about Bun as it will push other things to be better, but I'm also waiting for it to mature a bit before I consider it for anything production grade even though they hit 1.0.</li>
<li>I was thinking about how I could toggle a theme in VS Code based on the time of day, and of course there is an extension for this. I found <a href="https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=savioserra.theme-switcher&amp;utm_source=nickytonline&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_campaign=yet-another-newsletter-lol-spicy-bun" target="_blank">Theme Switcher</a> from <a href="https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/publishers/savioserra?utm_source=nickytonline&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_campaign=yet-another-newsletter-lol-spicy-bun" target="_blank">Sávio Santos Serra</a>. It works really well. Give it a go if you’re a fan of VS Code. I haven’t posted VS Code tips in a while, but if you’re interested, here’s my <a href="https://www.nickyt.co/pages/vscode-tips/?utm_source=nickytonline&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_campaign=yet-another-newsletter-lol-spicy-bun" target="_blank">back catalogue of VS Code tips</a></li>

<h2>Fun Stuff</h2>
