Anybody who can suggest a readable (non-expert) non-fiction book on dinosaurs?

Yes. It applies to what you do / make. You can’t copy (parts of) the written text, but you can act (write your own interpretation) with the ideas in that text. “Copyright is intended to protect the original expression of an idea in the

So you liked Feedly for almost 10 years, but never bothered to support them financially. And now you complain that they go the extra mile trying to earn money?

Setting that up was not part of the 20% effort that delivers 80% of the value ;).

No need to ‘return’ when you throw an error, but your approach is valid IMO: if structure / readability is that important, refactor the switch to it’s own method with only if checks in it. Hard to make that simpler and more readable.

I see some criticism in this thread towards DEV, but 6 day working weeks... to me it’s a classic example of incompetent managers trying to fix a project they lost control of. I mean, you work with highly skilled people, thrilled to be part
