<p>If you&rsquo;re on Bluesky, I&rsquo;m <code>@nickyt.online</code>. I&rsquo;ve been enjoying the new social network, but it&rsquo;s still early days. Kudos to the team working on it. <a href="https://wesbos.com?utm_source=nickytonline&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_campaign=yet-another-newsletter-lol-blue-skies" target="_blank">Wes Bos</a> created a <a href="https://github.com/wesbos/blue-sky-cli?utm_source=nickytonline&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_campaign=yet-another-newsletter-lol-blue-skies" target="_blank">nifty CLI tool</a> for it using the new <a href="https://atproto.com/docs?utm_source=nickytonline&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_campaign=yet-another-newsletter-lol-blue-skies" target="_blank">AT Protocol</a> API.

<p><a href="https://twitter.com/devongovett?utm_source=nickytonline&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_campaign=yet-another-newsletter-lol-blue-skies" target="_blank">Devon Govett</a> recently mentioned the <a href="https://twitter.com/devongovett/status/1651957876364124160?utm_source=nickytonline&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_campaign=yet-another-newsletter-lol-blue-skies" target="_blank">React Aria NumberField component on Twitter</a>. It looks pretty awesome and reminds me I must build something with <a href="https://react-spectrum.adobe.com/react-aria/index.html?utm_source=nickytonline&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_campaign=yet-another-newsletter-lol-blue-skies" target="_blank">React Aria</a>. New to React Aria? It&rsquo;s a library of React Hooks that provides accessible UI primitives for your design system. Check it out!</p>

<p>I really enjoy Jack Herrington&rsquo;s content, and he posted a banger of a video recently, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FfHsIio4aCU&amp;utm_source=nickytonline&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_campaign=yet-another-newsletter-lol-blue-skies" target="_blank">How To Fix NextJS 13&rsquo;s N+1 Problem</a>. It was a great video, and I also discovered a new tool called <a href="https://github.com/hatoo/oha?utm_source=nickytonline&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_campaign=yet-another-newsletter-lol-blue-skies" target="_blank">oha</a>! I recommend you check out both.</p>

<h2>Words of Wisdom for the Week</h2>
<p>A reminder that we&rsquo;re not productive 100% of the time and that&rsquo;s OK. It ebbs and flows.</p>
<h2>Shameless Plugs</h2>
<p>This week I got to hang with Mike Hartington, Director of Developer Relations at Ionic. We built a basic app bootstrapping it with the Ionic CLI, demonstrating how you can leverage all your web dev skills and tools.</p>{% embed https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-QngQ5qu1Yw %}
