To add to this, most sports have adult recreational leagues that have multiple levels based on skill. I played in a hockey league and the lowest level had people that were just learning to skate and the highest level was people who played i

Why not React + React Native and then you can share large parts of the codebase? That’s what I usually end up doing. I build the web app first and use a lot of the code to build a React Native app

I use a mono repo setup with “web”, “native” and “shared” using react and react-native. All of my logic and fetching code is hook based, and that can be 100% shared. I have to make a web interface and a native interface, but they are so dif

It’s hard to compare v scale to aus scale and I’m definitely not very familiar, but googling says that v10 is roughly equal to 31 on the aus scale. Of course bouldering is also typically 5m tall or less, and it’s very hard to compare boulde

It sounds like if your goal is V5-6, you better be bumping up that 5.11 sport climb goal! Certainly at that bouldering level 5.12 is in your future in no time. In terms of training plan, I’m generally very loose. I’m definitely blessed to b

A nice pair of hiking shoes. I’ve got la sportiva Bushidos but any decent hiking/trail running shoes will do. It’s nice to not be slipping and sliding on loose gravel and leaves anymore, as I did often when wearing more casual sneakers

I’m also a la sportiva enthusiast. I’ve found the women’s shoes to fit even better than the men’s. I’m on my third pair of women’s solutions and they are so good. I think the women’s shoes are made for a lighter person (I weigh about 135) a

I think it is somewhat platform dependent. I don’t know anyone that uses Facebook except for the weird kids I went to high school with or senior citizens. People my age (20s-30s) will occasionally post major life event photos, ie wedding, b

If you actually do know html, css, and HTML properly, then looking at the bootstrap documentation is going to be your best bet. It is full of examples with code snippets and examples of what that code produces. Bootstrap is a very class bas

Unless you are integrating typescript into an existing codebase, having the strictest feature set is great. I’ve never felt the need to use any/unknown, except for very occasionally when working with a library that has spotty typescrip

Absolutely worth the hype, doubly so if your backend is also written in typescript and you can share types. I would say except for very specific cases, you don’t need the complicated parts of typescript, and what you are left with is a lot

The easiest way to keep a habit is by doing something you enjoy. Of course this can be hard in the case of eating healthy, if you would rather just eat shittier but more delicious food. But for exercise, finding an activity that you enjoy m

I think there probably are people that get nervous and absolutely blank, that is bound to happen. As an interviewer, what can you really do in those situations? Also to note that looking up documentation is perfectly fine, and I explain tha

Agreed, you can be absolutely horrible at math and be a fantastic programmer. I always found math easy in school but 5+ years later if someone asked me to write a quadratic function solving function I’d have no idea what that even means. Pr

I rotate through various simple function implementations. It’s important to stick to fundamentals and not introduce anything where a specific context is required. Examples of this are - function to reverse a string - function to sum an arra

You laugh at that coding assignment for a senior position but you'd be surprised how many "senior" people interview that would struggle with that and be unable to complete it.

Since you are already a seasoned developer you can cut through a lot of the blog posts and courses that are aimed at junior developers. The two main resources I find myself reaching for are the Mozilla JS docs, and the React docs. React tea

There is not a rule that is preventing you from writing websites with JS, HTML, and CSS or even just HTML and CSS with no JS at all. Like everything else in the world, right or wrong, people have preferences for different things. Some peopl

I’ve tried out storybook 7 recently and it does seem a bit better, but I do agree with you that storybook is less than ideal. I see storybook in the same way I see a complex webpack config, I have no idea how it works and once it is finally

Not really answering your question, but after one of the boosters I had ~1 month of abnormal heartbeat and was hospitalized. My chest also felt uneasy, somewhat painful, and I could feel my heart double beating irregularly. Best answer I go

I don’t see it as SPAs fading, but just the natural progression of this style of making apps/websites. People moved from a heavy server to a heavy client, and in the process realized that shipping your entire website in one bundle at f

Copilot is trained on public repos. Id imagine if Microsoft doesn’t want you to use their code, that code would be in a private repo. There’s nothing stopping me from using code in a public repo, regardless of the license.

The best thing you can do is write OSS and not care who uses it or for what purpose. The more people writing truly free and open software the better. In my mind that is the ultimate end goal of OSS.

I think the comparison being made is why restrict yourself to a rail line when you can buy a huge bus with a driver and private chef and have them drive you anywhere you want.

I will never understand why people push code to public repos and then complain when someone or something uses that code. Code that you want to keep private or make money off of should be private. Only publish stuff to the public that you wa

I use React at work for all our projects. We have yet to run into a situation where react has failed us. I’m sure many people can say the same about the other options. That is a clear indication that it doesn’t really matter which you pick.

Awhile ago (year+) I was trying to set up a project for free that hand a frontend/backend and database. I landed on Vercel with NextJS and MongoDB’s Atlas, for no other reason than I am familiar with Next and like writing typescript&#x
