Every Tuesday we round up the previous week's top posts based on traffic, engagement, and a hint of editorial curation. The typical week starts on Monday and ends on Sunday, but don't worry, we take into account posts that are published later in the week.

The good, the bad, and the boolean

The TL;DR of this overview from @mpocock1? Bad booleans represent state. Good booleans are derived from state.

That said, there's so much more to glean from the entire article!

Save the date! ❤️
