It’s worse than that, since you can’t use CSS variables inside a media query!

> “And Knosso whatever-his-name was a physicist. That’s the Library of Nothing.”

> “Nothing?”

> The old woman had her spiel ready. “Physicists long since determined that most of space was empty, and most of each atom was empty, so that the overwhelming nature of the universe is nothingness, with tiny interruptions that contain all of existence. So their library is named for this Nothing that comprises most of the universe. And the mathematicians share the space, because they are proud to say that what they study is even less real than what the physicists study, so their portion is called the Library of Less than Nothing.”

> Rigg decided he was going to like the physicists. It seemed to him, though, that the mathematicians must have an annoying competitive streak.

Also a good lesson about including screenshots in any PR with UI changes. Once the maintainer saw the changes visually they were much more willing to iterate and get the PR merged.

I love this approach and have used it many times in JavaScript. I often end up adding an additional map in front with the resolved values to check first, because awaiting or then'ing a Promise always means you will wait until the next microtask for the value, instead of getting it immediately. With a framework like React, this means you'll have a flash of missing content even when it is already cached.

Thanks for calling out that this was inspired by CodeFlow, I kept thinking that as I was reading. Still one of my favorite code review tools, used ~2012.

One of my favorite features was a panel with every comment on the PR, sorted and organized by status. Because all files in the PR were preloaded clicking a comment instantly took you to the specific code and version. So good!
