Developers Will Wait 15 Minutes to Avoid 10 Minutes of Typing

How to Use Uint8Array Base64 Helpers in JavaScript
JavaScript now has native `Uint8Array` helpers for converting bytes to and from Base64 and hex. Use them when your data is actually bytes: file chunks, image payloads, cryptographic output, compact URL tokens, or binary API responses.

Vite Env Variables: VITE_ Prefix, Modes, and How Not to Leak Secrets
In Vite, a variable that starts with `VITE_` is public browser configuration, not a secret. Vite exposes it through `import.meta.env` and bundles it into client-side code at build time, so use `VITE_` for values like API base URLs, keep real secrets on the server, and only use `loadEnv()` when `.env` values need to shape `vite.config.*`....

Use the Web Locks API when the same web app can be open in multiple tabs and only one tab or worker should run a browser-side job at a time. It is a clean fit for sync jobs, cache refreshes, IndexedDB maintenance, and polling loops that should not stampede just because the user opened your app twice....
