Which obviously stops them working...

That's not what I'm seeing.

Apologies if I'm explaining where I needn't, but it's not the code, it's the copy around the code that I'm seeing capitalised.

Ewww, those examples are giving me hard to stomach Visual Basic 3 flashbacks. Obviously it is a style choice, and it runs the same, it just "feels" wrong.

I keep thinking of that SNL sketch about the Avatar logo.

not a style choice, javascript is case sensitive. capitol c const is not a keyword, and an example defines capitol f fs but later references lowercase fs.

this is a bad css rule

it does not run the same, JavaScript is case sensitive. one does wonder however why and how the change happened

This looks un-intentional, maybe file a bug with them? Why post this here?

Yep just looked and it's just a bad css rule. Nothing to see here.

And looks like a fix is already going out https://github.com/nodejs/nodejs.dev/issues/2721

I think this has been fixed here https://github.com/nodejs/nodejs.dev/pull/2713/files

Probably just pending release

So seriously, I agree that this seems like a bug. But it also seems easier in some cases it might benefit others. So similar to Show HN or Ask HN … Bug HN as a prefix for post titles like this?

I really think however small there is value, and it’s still fair to reply “file a bug report.”
