I've been using a 3x rule of sorts when it comes to software development. However long I think something is going to take, multiply it by 3 to get a more realistic estimate.

Do your future developer self a favor and use mend renovate () to automatically update and merge new dependency versions. Trust me, this can cause MAJOR pain down the line if not done regularly 😖

Having focus and a long attention span in this day and age is a superpower. I've got a lot of respect for non-AI startup founders who are ignoring the buzz around GPT to focus on further developing their products 💪

I feel like I'm underusing my browser developer tools by simply using it for console logs / inspect element 99% of the time. Curious what dev tool features other web developers out there find invaluable?

I've failed to build countless products in the last 10 years—perfectionism was the root of evil. I've decided to change it once and for all: I set a 30-day challenge for myself to build and launch a product. Guess what? It's day 30. Here is the result 👇🏼

Sometimes I'll catch myself setting up the "perfect" environment before diving into my most meaningful work (usually coding)... fresh cup of coffee, perfect playlist queued up, screens laid out just right, etc. All tiny forms of procrastination, just dive in! 🌊

My motivation and productivity were at all time lows yesterday 😓 Then I remembered I'd skimped on sleep the previous night 🤔 When trying to find extra time for getting things done, sleep should be the last place to look 😴🙅‍♂️

I taught myself to code through a Udemy course and then building a product with just-in-time learning through various internet resources. If you're also a self-taught developer, what did your journey look like?
