Off-Screen Hobbies Every Developer Should Explore

Because your brain needs a break from debugging life, not just code. If you're a web developer, you already know the drill: on-calls, stand-ups, testing, launch days, back-to-back meetings. You just want to vibe out and code, but the day has other plans. By the end of the day, you're craving no-screen time. Maybe you've felt it too: that specific kind of numb that comes from having your flow state interrupted over and over, whether by demands, deadlines, or meetings that could've been an email.

Made a small set of Playwright skills for myself and coding agents. Figured I'd share!

Made a small set of Playwright skills for myself so my coding agent stops writing tests I'd reject in review.
