I'm picturing Bob Ross standing over this palette whispering "We're going to put a happy little div here with a shade of cornflowerblue".

Is there a Bob Ross for websites/apps (or general programming) somewhere out there on Youtube or Twitch?

"Happy little JavaScript errors"

Lots of video game mechanics were "happy little accidents" that were then codified. For instance, in Space Invaders, the aliens speed up as there are fewer of them; this was an emergent behavior that was codified, at first it was caused by the game outputting frames as fast as possible & having less computation to perform as aliens were eliminated.

The Coding Train. Daniel is amazing and has a Bob Ross-esque vibe to him.

My number one recommendation for people who want to get into programming. Daniel is wonderfully quirky, enthusiastic and warm.

cornflowerblue? That's happy little mistake in the making.

should have gone with burnt umber imo, but to each their own
