Sticky

I found myself entangled in CSS. I needed app-header to stick to the top at all times. I also needed template-header to be right beneath app-header at all times. Lastly, embedded-content should begin immediately after template-header and should not be sticky. Here’s how the page organisation might look like: <div class="app"> <div class="app-header"> <!-- Content --> </div> <div class="app-content"> <div class="template-container"> <div class="template-header"> <!-- Content --> </div> <div class="embedded-content"> <!-- Content --> </div> </div> </div> </div> The simplest approach is to place app-header and template-header inside a single div.

reCaptcha on-error

Polling wasn’t effective because: Hot reloading did not happen because of some heap limit error. I called the wrong function to check if the reCaptcha errored.

It also lists the questions to ask ourselves so that we remain focused and productive.

Power Listening by Bernard T Ferrari

I’ve been borrowing ebooks from NLB ever since I bought my Kobo. I find it difficult to listen in Zoom meetings, so I hope to learn something from this book named “Power Listening” by Bernard T. Ferrari. I also have difficulty remembering things, so I summarised my takeaways below. I recommend reading the book and penning down notes so that you can appreciate the art of listening based on real-world examples and remember what you need to do to be a good listener.
