      I have a bunch of AG Grid components in @storybook.js.org
      
      Should I create a decorator that inits the grid modules on each story that renders an ag grid component, or initialise them once in the root preview.ts?

      interviewing tip: take notes on what excites hiring managers when they talk.
      
      do their eyes light up discussing team collaboration? innovation? customer impact?
      
      those emotional cues tell you what they truly value. reference those moments in your answers and follow-up.

      The home I live in is what I call "infill".
      
      The developer bought a long plot with a house at the front. He renovated that house, and built our duplex house / 2 semi detached units into the long yard. We own one of them.
      
      There's still enough yard space for ball games, a few fruit trees and a deck.

      If someone ages in place and their small house now needs so many renovations that it's not desirable without major capital investment, then instead of tearing it down and building a bigger house for one family as we've been doing, we should tear it down and make six homes for six families.

      One more from today to show how different particles can give different effects.  A fire-dissolve for some text (this could easily be applied to a logo as well).
