Sometimes you can be laid back and code with lofi music and socks on. But there will be times where you will have to crack your knuckles, stretch your arms and take your socks off, one leg on the chair, bad posture; for full focus mode.

The new @GitHub@mastodon.social repo viewer creates a new Worker every time it re-renders. Caused by this line: const workerManagerRef = useRef( new DebouncedWorkerManager( new Worker(findInFileWorkerPath) ) ) (use-in-file-search-results.ts L26)
