GitHub SSH key or username and email?

I'll be getting my new laptop tomorrow and I'll have to do all the setup like installing node and git. When I first connected to GitHub I used a username and email to verify my identity. I watched a freeCodeCamp video on Git and they had a section on authenticating with SSH. I was confused by that method. Is there a benefit to using an SSH key? What do you all use?

Computer recommendations part 2

I settled on a laptop to buy but I would also like to buy 2 monitors for it and a wireless keyboard/mouse. What do you all use? Is your primary monitor for your editor, and your secondary one for viewing your localhost/webpage? Or vice versa? The monitor I have now seems fine for my editor but it is too horizontal for viewing web pages IMO: 22" 1920x1080. I would like something less rectangular and more square. That ratio is too big for my liking. I am searching Amazon now but wanted to get some recommendations first. Also, any ideas on the "best" wireless mouse/keyboard brand? And what about external speakers? On a side note, would it be worth it to either 1) Upgrade the RAM for my laptop, and/or 2) Somehow "reset" my laptop to ignore Windows 11 updates? For #2, somehow I may have clicked a link to update my Win10 to Win11 and it's been causing problems since then....

doubt

anyone knows what this means? what exactly should I do here...

Disable **all** notifications, including errors

VSCode has a "do not disturb" mode which will silence all notifications. Perfect, that's what I want. Except it doesn't silence all notifications, it allows errors to come through. Now, I understand error messages are important, but 99% of the ones I get are just annoying and I already know why they're happening, they're equally as annoying and unwanted as the warning or info messages and I don't want them. ...

Not sure if this is OS, Windows 11, VS, C# or terminal issue. Can't seem to find anything relating this Simple program in C#: ```cs static void Main(string[] args)...

popOS mostly bricked...

I honestly don't know what happened. I booted up today and it told me to restart to finalize updates. I did, and now I'm stuck here... "Oh no! Something has gone wrong. A problem has occurred and the system can't recover. Please log out and try again." ...

.gitignore - extra command so it doesn't push to github?

Anyone had experience with this App?

On my lunch break I stumbled across this Github actions/app which acts as a a11ylint, and it will create a comment on any problematic areas on pull requests. Im thinking of adding it to our frontend projects at work as an extra step to detect any stragglers that have been missed as well as to remind any juniors. I don't expect it to cover all bases either as theres a lot more that goes into it than just code. Has anyone used this before? Would you recommend it?...

Using DevTools grid inspector with React

I just watched Kevin's video about how to debug CSS with DevTools and saw the part about grid inspector. This is something I would like to use but even with the React DevTools installed I can't seem to figure out how I could see the grid with my app. Is this possible?
