I guess he would have to add a way to interact with the tuner's UI to switch to a different setting other than standard tuning.

I put together an e-book of 150+ tips for working with the native features of VS Code. Includes 450+ screenshots and all text is written by a human. AI was used only for creating the cover and doing some image edits.

New comment by LouisLazaris in "Creators of Tailwind laid off 75% of their engineering team"

LouisLazaris — Thu, 08 Jan 2026 06:13:28 +0000

I'm knee-deep in the tech newsletter niche and I've never seen an official Tailwind newsletter. The only one I subscribe to is a small, unofficial weekly newsletter by Vivian Guillen:

https://tailwindweekly.com/

The only problem is that it seems to have stopped sending in October.

First time I'd seen this warning by SpamAssassin (via mail-tester). Apparently the phrase "100% guaranteed" (which was in an ad) is a major spam red flag.

Late response but as of this moment I see all comments with a "7 days ago" stamp. Not sure what you were seeing, but anyhow, thanks for your contributions to the thread.

Thanks. Yeah, that’s good to know that there’s nothing shady going on with the domains. It does seem very inexpensive when you factor in the domain and hosting, so I was curious if there’s any drawbacks.
