Conventional Commits Guide for Monorepos

Overview

Conventional Commits is a specification for adding human and machine-readable meaning to commit messages. In a monorepo context, this becomes especially important for tracking changes across multiple packages, services, or applications within a single repository.

NodeJS debugging in VS Code with Nodemon

A simple NodeJS App debugging example in VS Code using Nodemon.

Note: Feel free to customize .vscode/launch.json and ./nodemon.json files.

Install

yarn add nodemon --dev

Goal: Connect to MSSQL using FreeTDS / ODBC in Python.

Host: Ubuntu 11.10 x86_64

Install:

sudo apt-get install freetds-dev freetds-bin unixodbc-dev tdsodbc
pip install pyodbc sqlalchemy

In /etc/odbcinst.ini:

CSS units

Recommendations of unit types per media type:

Media	Recommended	Occasional use	Infrequent use	Not recommended
Screen	em, rem, %	px	ch, ex, vw, vh, vmin, vmax	cm, mm, in, pt, pc
Print	em, rem, %	cm, mm, in, pt, pc	ch, ex	px, vw, vh, vmin, vmax

Relative units

	You are an expert in end-to-end testing with Playwright and JavaScript/TypeScript, working with a React application running locally at http://localhost:3000. Your goal is to generate a complete, runnable Playwright test suite that covers the core user flows of the app.

	Requirements:
	1. Use Playwright Test in TypeScript.
	2. Follow Playwright’s recommended test structure (tests/ directory, test.describe, test.beforeEach, etc.).
	3. Assume that the React app runs locally on localhost:3000 when the tests are executed.
	4. Write clean, maintainable selectors using getByRole, getByTestId, or semantic HTML attributes (no brittle CSS selectors unless unavoidable).
	5. Include tests for:
	- Page load and main layout rendering.
	- Navigation between key routes/pages.
