Auto-generated content has a tendency to raise only the baseline in industries. For web development first it was Dreamweaver, then WordPress templates, then SquareSpace and Wix. Bootstrap came along, then Material and a thousand other prepa

Know the difference between open and closed questions. Open questions are used to gain knowledge, and are phrased so that an answer can be anything. They can start with words like: Who, what, when, where, and why. However be extremely caref

An important lesson I learned is that meaning and complexity are rarely linked. The most profitable code I wrote for a company took under a week and truthfully any mid-tier web developer could have done it. The code with the largest reach (

I highly recommend taking the Steinway factory tour if you're in NY. It's $10 and the pre-covid waiting list was 6 months. Steinway had a massive impact on the economy and infrastructure of Queens. Both pubic transport and movie

I just started playing it this weekend, and am shocked at how good the game actually is. Due to the initial negative feedback I didn't go in expecting cyber-GTA, and frankly that's made a huge difference. Go in expecting a good st

The number of feature areas where Figma succeeded and Adobe failed is astounding. The closest analogue I can think of is SpaceX and Boeing. Figma solved online tooling, collaboration, interaction protoyping, design systems, and stakeholder

The specs are in the description. It's a pretty standard high end gaming machine, paired with some oversized monitors. You could easily pull it all together for under $5,000, and even make a few cost saving compromises to lower the pri

Had to check again on the diversity questions and yeah...wow. Almost no one has those numbers on hand, nor should they. We typically refer to it as Diversity & Inclusion, and a company's initiatives should include things like a div

I manage a team of 10 engineers and my highest priority is making myself redundant. I'm constantly looking to eliminate (aka delegate) my current responsibilities so I can focus on my next responsibilities.
