I've been teaching myself illustration for a kid's app I'm making. It's such a different mental exercise than coding! And yet... I found that I was getting stuck on things while drawing. It really wasn't until I sta

The concept of a SPA is a total hack of web patterns. I predict in a few years we'll refer back to SPA's the way we do now to AJAX or DHTML. We're getting closer to the best of both worlds, where we SSR pages and then "h

These seem poorly phrased, too broad and not connected enough to succinctly answer in 1 minute. How about: 1. What do you want to accomplish with your life's work? 2. What have you accomplished so far to get there? 3. What's next?

Surprised it hasn't been mentioned yet... API design. (Perhaps people consider it middle-ware of sorts?) Anyways, your API is basically the interface to your back-end and goes hand-in-hand with your database as the core components of y
