As the other poster said, most coding mistakes are not expensive and the ones that are should have automation/testing in place around them. It is definitely not worth having someone look over your shoulder and eat up the little breaks

Amazon tries to encourage this by using a "delivery day" for all your weekly deliveries to come. They need to incentivize it a bit harder I think with free digital content. If I could rent a movie from prime (not something new but

Well the author also thinks pair programming is a good idea so I'd take what they say with a grain of salt. Also I get the impression this article is just a thinly veiled ad for their courses.

Can you really say that about Dan Abramov and Ken Wheeler though? Some of the nicest and most inclusive people in the community. I've seen them both engage people all at different points in their career and be encouraging and positive.

This is insane.... attacking Abramov for using an Ok hand? attacking Wheeler for sticking up for react developers when someone implied they were a bunch of tech bro meathead gun toting trump supporters? I'm irritated they even apologiz

This is just really generic advice that most people would come up with themselves by thinking about it for a while. I feel like this a constant problem with these advice blogs. I've learned so much from books like How to win friends an

Is the data being sent to and processed at a third party? Many organizations won't allow users to use something that is going to send their emails off to third parties. I like the idea of it though.

He wasn't actually that way though. They mistook notions of brotherly love which are not homosexual to something homosexual. There are no ancient sources that even allude to that. Just modern scholars projecting their own fantasies as

It seems a little irrelevant as to how he died exactly IMO. We already know there were people who wanted to kill him. What I'm more curious about is why Oliver Stone thought that an overly effeminate Alexander was the best depiction of

Typical disconnected comments from the author about JS as usual. Why would they focus on axios error handling and not fetch? Even dredging up some left pad.... People complain about standard libraries in languages that have them. Damned if

I would argue that most people can't, which kind of irks me that recommendations like this have been the status quo for quite some time. I think programmers in general over romanticize this way of learning.
