oh and btw, if anyone is adverse to both jQuery and React and just wants some simple reactivity in vanilla JS, this is very easily achieved these days by just using Proxy prototype. You could build your own minimal library for simple use ca

I worked at a company that had unlimted PTO when suddenly one day they revoked the policy because they said some people were abusing it. The new policy was still very generous (6 weeks PTO per year) so no one complained. Fast forward a year

That's a good point and maybe I shouldn't have re-posted these stories in my comment as I have not personally witnessed this behavior. I just know that when I started learning Elm initially (Nice Frontend master courses btw) I ran

As I understand it, there was a rift in the community over the leadership's tone in messaging and communication. Some Developers also felt like they could not contribute in a meaningful way or have constructive discussion with maintain

What's funny to me is that whenever I get stuck with docker or docker-compose (or getting our various docker services talking to each other), I'm told by a certain engineer that I ask for help from, "It's really not that

I basically did this. I mean I wouldn't say it's a "lie" to simply omit things from you're resume that you don't feel are relevant or may hurt your chances. I shortened my resume to a single page and left high

And yet I find what my employer's prize are the most basic of concepts, having actually nothing to do with programming. Things like, attention to detail, admitting fault (ownership ties into this), regular updates and communication. I

I once decided to write my own UI pagination component. I thought it would be fun and, why bring in a library for something so simple? Three years later, we now use this component for all our pagination. Probably four of us know it really w

I used to have dreams like this. I attempted to chase these ideas every few years. I quit a very good job once and moved halfway around the world in an attempt to fulfill one of these dreams. At some point I got married and eventually had k
