Miscellaneous one-off lessons on debugging, productivity hacks, and JavaScript tricks.

Sometimes we need to prevent some properties on a JavaScript object from being iterated over and accessed in "for ... in" loops.

In this lesson, we will learn how to use `Object.defineProperty()` to hide existing properties on an object by setting the property descriptor flag `enumerable` to `false`.

Hide Properties from Showing Up in "for ... in" Loops in JavaScript

When building a web app, sometimes we need to approach it top-down. Modern browser devtools allow us to set breakpoints not only on the JS code but also on the DOM as well, so we can easily pin down which lines of code are to be executed deep inside the code base, by pausing the execution based on DOM changes.

In this lesson, we will learn how to set and remove DOM breakpoints in Chrome DevTools.

In this lesson, we will learn how to use custom ENV variables to customize the PS1 Bash/Zsh command prompt in the VS Code terminal, without affecting our custom terminal themes in other applications. We will see how this can be useful for keeping the terminal clean for screen recordings.

I'm using Zsh in this video, but this works in Bash with `~/.bashrc` as well.
