<p>Another week, another newsletter. Let&rsquo;s get to it!</p>
<h2>Around the Web</h2>
<ul>
<li>
<p>The Astro 2.0 Beta has a great new feature called <a href="https://docs.astro.build/en/guides/content-collections/?utm_source=nickytonline&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_campaign=yet-another-newsletter-lol-kiwi" target="_blank">Collections</a> that let you manage Markdown and <a href="https://mdxjs.com/?utm_source=nickytonline&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_campaign=yet-another-newsletter-lol-kiwi" target="_blank">MDX</a> content in your project. This interests me as an Eleventy user since they also have the concept of collections.</p>

<li>
<p>Congrats to the Deno team on a great year. Lots of goodness in this <a href="https://deno.com/blog/deno-in-2022?utm_source=nickytonline&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_campaign=yet-another-newsletter-lol-kiwi" target="_blank">in year review post</a>. It&rsquo;s exciting to see npm package support in there, along with the Fresh web framework and more! If you still need to give <a href="https://deno.land/?utm_source=nickytonline&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_campaign=yet-another-newsletter-lol-kiwi" target="_blank">Deno</a> a look, I encourage you to check it out.</p>

<p>Whether you like Tailwind or not, many folks are using it, so this is a good move by the Remix team to grow their adoption. <a href="https://github.com/remix-run/remix/pull/5229?utm_source=nickytonline&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_campaign=yet-another-newsletter-lol-kiwi" target="_blank">feat: add built-in PostCSS and Tailwind support #5229</a></p>
</li>
</ul>
<h2>Fun Stuff</h2>
<p>The Tweet in the newsletter sent out today was deleted, so I&rsquo;ve updated it with a post from Reddit.</p>
<p>Nature is cool. That <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/interestingasfuck/comments/k9ic8n/the_absolute_size_of_a_kiwi_egg_compared_to_a_kiwi/?utm_source=nickytonline&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_campaign=yet-another-newsletter-lol-kiwi" target="_blank">Kiwi egg is enormous</a>!</p>
<h2>Words of Wisdom for the Week</h2>
<p>No deep quotes or anything this week, but something that ties into <a href="https://www.iamdeveloper.com/newsletter/yet-another-newsletter-lol-so-much-snow/?utm_source=nickytonline&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_campaign=yet-another-newsletter-lol-kiwi#heading-fun-stuff" target="_blank">last week&rsquo;s fun stuff</a>. </p>
<p>Remember to take breaks and step away from your desk when things aren&rsquo;t clicking, or you&rsquo;re stuck on a bug. This is obvious information, but it&rsquo;s always a good reminder, even for myself. 😅</p>
<h2>Shameless Plugs</h2>
<p>Mark Noonan, Senior Engineer @ Cypress joined me on my Twitch stream a couple of weeks ago. Mark walked us through the features of component testing, and we also enhanced some tests for a Vue application. Check it out!</p>
