    Every time you do something new or cool, you should write a blog post about it. It doesn't need to be NY Times quality or even a long form article. It can be 2 paragraphs with 5 lines of code. The goal? 1. Becoming a better writer. 2. Googling yourself in the future.

    Weak leaders want their people to do as they say. Strong leaders want their people to do as they think.

    Folks working full time jobs in tech: most of y'all can afford therapy. Do the work to find a good therapist instead of making your coworkers deal with your issues. Which you definitely have, bc we all have them. Those of you who say you don't need it? Probably need it the most.

    Once you get css-in-js, every argument against it sounds like “Well actually, you just don’t know how to use goto and global variables”

    Jest 23.5 now supports .each statements: lay out multiple scenarios in a tabular format! Much more concise and readable than copy/pasting tests for each scenario. Example with 4 scenarios: Before: 68 lines, copy/pasted 👎 After: 12 lines 👍 More info:

    This would be classic!

    On your first day at the new job, squash every commit from the repo into a single commit with message "Legacy code" and force-push to master.

    Ah 2018. Scrum means "Waterfall but we don't have time for analysis". Kanban means "Scrum, but we don't have time for sprint planning". Agile means "We have no process, but we do use JIRA extensively"

    This is seriously my favorite JS tip. Don't convert an arrow function just to add a console.log, you can add it with || and then get rid of it later 😍

    My primary usage of the Mac Touch Bar: • Accidentally hitting keys • Getting confused about whether the volume is muted or not • Trying to tap those tiny < buttons with my giant fingers and messing it up • Being blinded by its brightness at night • Pondering its existence

    You can destructure properties from a nested object and still pull out the nested object itself.

    const user = { account: { firstName: 'Tony', lastName: 'stark' } }; const { account, account: { firstName, lastName } } = user;

    Is it anyway to open emails in gmail as an accordion similar to Inbox? Opening a whole new page seems nuts to me now.

    I'm just going to call them function components and class components. Typing "stateless functional components" gets tiring.

    itty bitty, this tool by to create sites rendered entirely with html data stored in their urls, is the wildest approach i've ever seen to sharing websites. "the link to this website contains the website" is a serious mindfuck.

    ALWAYS email artists when you think their work is wonderful. Always. You think they know it; they don't. You will make their day (their week, their month). They will become more motivated, and go and create more wonderful art, which you can then enjoy. Everybody wins.

    This touch thing on the mac is nice... if it wasn't a replacement for the keys it's attempting to replace. I hate that I can't just use muscle memory to control Spotify anymore. Or volume. Or escape.
