When using Safari on the Apple Vision Pro, elements on the page emit audio from their location, meaning that if you scroll away from a video you can hear it "in the distance" so you can tell if you should scroll up or down to find it again. Very interesting detail!

@CompuIves Yes! I think a motivation to "do it right" from the beginning is you don't want to rewrite everything later. It's okay to rewrite your code. I would even say it's good to rewrite your code because you've learned a lot more about the problem since you started writing the code.

@LinusEkenstam I get it when the electricity is not properly grounded. Using the brick with the short directly-in-the-wall plug doesn’t ground it, while using the brick with the extended cable (in EU) will ground it (assuming what you plug it into has ground) and removes that feeling.
