2001: A Space Odyssey is probably my favorite film ever. Our IT teacher made us watch it as part of the computer science classes (awesome teacher). Very recently Seth Godin talked about it in his podcast, pointing out the poor reviews it go

Since you mention concise, I'll jump in with my JavaScript tutorials series https://flaviocopes.com/javascript/ - I try to condense information in a useful way, kind of following the 80/20 rule. If you'r

This is amazing. I just tried editing a minified CSS, while the Chrome Dev Tools have a way to show the changes ( https://umaar.com/dev-tips/137-changes-panel/ ) the result I get is the whole minified line. This ext

For a simple mailing list, I'd use TinyLetter or buttondown.email, they are both great. The latter lets you write in Markdown, pretty convenient. Seva (formerly ConvertKit) if you need more automation and you need to manage different s

AFAIK Vue got a big popularity boost when Laravel's lead dev posted https://twitter.com/taylorotwell/status/590281695581982720 Then the Laravel ecosystem adopted it widely, and a good Vue.js tutorial series w

Thank you for the feedback! I considered beginners to the framework, rather than to frontend development altogether - I think an npm/yarn intro would have helped, it's difficult to know where to stop and avoid going into a rabbit

Thanks for the heads up. I now enabled the GDPR compliance form on ConvertKit. It seems my explanation under the form is clearly not enough to explain the intent and how I will use the data, and I need explicit consent to be able to contact

Thank you, yes I'm Italian - you're right, I should have asked someone to proofread it! I'm sorry for this.

Thanks for your points. ConvertKit allows to show a GDPR consent screen to EU users. I didn't enable it at first, my fault. Below the form the intent is clear, but you should also be allowed to only get the ebook without having any fur

Thank you for jumping in. I was thinking about how to "react" to this :) HN is probably not the target audience for my email list, which is more beginner-oriented, and a low percentage of HN users will leave their email there. It&

The email "wall" is there because I want to keep in touch with my audience and possibly get back with more learning resources. But if anyone is interested in a direct link and skip that, here it is :) https://www.dropbo

I think that trying to explain something, is the best way to learn things. You can go through 10 tutorials and think you "got" something, until you need to articulate it and you realize maybe you missed some step. Of course I&#x27

I don't think it's mandatory to write about novel or innovative things. It's your blog, you can write what you want. Agree with the write for yourself mindset. I am kind of doing the same thing on my blog https://f
