Pull Up a Seat: Season 1
Real-life programming isn't always glamorous. You're not always launching fancy new interactive features backed by weeks of marketing and hype. In fact, that's rarely the case. Instead, much of the time, we work on boring fixes and general maintenance of packages and tools that, frankly, not many people use. This is the reality.
In that spirit, for season one of our new "Pull Up a Seat" series, come along as I work on extending the API for my Cypress package. We'll cover everything from the initial tinkering, all the way up to tagging a new release.
