   Super impressed with this - one of my coworkers has been giving out samples of it, it's absolutely perfect for mornings when I'm in too much of a rush to deal with grinding / brewing, and also for camping trips.

   just chiming in to say I'm a fan of what you're doing with Gatsby - I think this is the first this-generation SSG to be good enough to replace Jekyll as the defacto :)

   We also have a Design Tools team at Airbnb (source: I’m on it. hi.). Whilst Lottie was developed outside of our team, I think it’s representative of the kinds of projects we love. There’s plenty of stuff we haven’t shown off yet, but I’d ho

   I'm glad to see more projects like this popping up. React-as-paradigm is more powerful than any one particularly implementation; it's a wonderful way to describe user interfaces, and using cross-platform primitives is a perfect wa

   I use Focus[1] in hardcore mode, scheduled from 22:00-12:55 and 13:00-19:00. I really suggest reading Deep Work by Cal Newport. For my phone - I deleted all of my social apps (apart from Instagram, Swarm etc) and keep it in another room or

    I'd actively turn down a job if they used Jira. Absolutely horrific; using it genuinely makes me hate my life.

    I use Bartender[1] for ~the same purpose. I love the idea of a minimal menu bar there's just too much stuff I might want to check occasionally. So Bartender just shows me my time tracker (important for client work), Fantastical (I co

    The best time to buy a Mac is when you need one; if you wait forever you'll never end up buying one. My work machine died less than a month ago; a little bit annoying that this happened but there's always going to be a better, f

    A couple of years back I bought a MacBook Pro with the antiglare display for this very reason. It was great to be able to work in the garden, in theory, but then you realise MBPs have/had awful battery life, especially in the sun, and

    I really liked The Little Schemer[0]. The language/syntax is a little different to Clojure but it's broadly transferable; really helped me think functionally. I'm a total noob with this stuff but I've been really happy w

    This is weak. If you're going to critique brogrammers, deal with the rampant sexism. Don't complain that some people like going to clubs, some people like drinking protein shakes at work etc — you're just trying to make tech

    This is excellent - I've been enjoying playing around with ReactiveCocoa recently and it's nice to see how those concepts can work in JS. Question (and opening a can of worms) - if I'm looking to learn more about FP, should I
