I simply copied and pasted it from another location and saved it as a personal note, before it gained popularity on news.ycombinator.com. Unfortunately, I cannot recall the exact origin of the original source, nor was I able to find the author's name, so I am can't provide the appropriate credits.

Principles we use to write CSS for modern browsers

Recently CSS has got a lot of negativity. But I would like to defend it and show, that with good naming convention CSS works pretty well.

My 3 developers team has just developed React.js application with 7668 lines of CSS (and just 2 !important). During one year of development we had 0 issues with CSS. No refactoring typos, no style leaks, no performance problems, possibly, it is the most stable part of our application.

Here are main principles we use to write CSS for modern (IE11+) browsers:

Using Let's Encrypt certificates with Amazon API Gateway

##Using Let's Encrypt certificates with AWS API Gateway

Before starting off with API Gateway set up it's worth mentioning that certificate configuration for this particular service is so far isn't well integrated, therefore different from other AWS services. Despite it using CloudFrount to serve on custom domains it won't let you customize distributions it creates, however all the limitations of CloudFront naturally apply to API Gateway. The most important in this case is the size of the key, which is limited by 2048 bit. Many tutorials provide ready to use terminal commands that have the key size preset at 4096 bit for the sake of better security. This won't work with API Gateway and you'll get an error message about certificate's validity or incorrect chain which won't suggest you the real cause of the issue. Another consideration is that to add a custom domain to API Gateway you have to have a certif

Debugging Angular bindings

This afternoon I encountered a race condition in an Angular app I'm working on. Essentially my controller was pushing some values to an Array on its scope and something (I wasn't sure what) was asynchronously overriding the Array's contents. The Array was being used by a custom directive- written by someone else- as well as an ngModel and it wasn't clear who was making the change.

I ended up trying something I had not done before and it worked well enough that I thought I'd post it here in case it helped anyone else.

First I enabled The "Async" option in Chrome's "Sources > Call Stack" panel.

Next I set a breakpoint in my controller where I was modifying the Array. When I hit that breakpoint, I ran the following code in my console:

Object.observe(this.theArray, function(changes) {
