Personally I would recommend using React's bult in Contexts before jumping straight to redux. Redux is great when needed, but can easily over-complicate something that can easily be solved by Context.

Genuine question regarding landfills: What are the real environmental effects of stuff "piling up in landfills"? I hear that "land filling" is bad but have never gotten a strong reason as to why. Obviously toxic/nuc

I try to have my team "teach not criticize" when it comes to code reviews. This helps shift the mindset from "what's wrong with this code" to "how can this code be better". Its a subtle difference, but mak

I try to only bookmark things that a) I visit repeatedly (multiple times per day), b) are not available from the "landing page" (filtered views, sub pages, complicated urls... anything that takes more than one click to get to), an

Comparing modern day burnout to slavery is a gross exaggeration and it's honestly shocking that this is the top comment in the thread.

Sure, but this article is hardly news. It's hardly even worthy of a tweet. The "old internet" is MySpace and Friendster? Really? "Click share if you think Google and Facebook are bad" pretty much summarizes the cont

Yep I'm this way as well. But it heavily depends on your personality (are you easily distracted?) and your employer (are they generally lax with WFH, or are they on the strict side? I tend to have a flexible schedule. Take 2 or 3 hour

I did a similar thing with "The Algorithm Design Manual" by Skiena. I really do not recommend videos/online classes for algorithms. The primary reason is that if you are learning them for the first time, there is a lot of inf

Learn to separate the code you write from your self. Try to see through the tone/word choice and accept the real constructive pieces of criticism (if there are any). You'll run into bad reviewers. A lot of people use code review a

The "rule" I like when it comes to commit messages it that they should be clear enough that someone who gets woken up for a production issue at 3am can quickly parse what was in the commit and how dangerous it is. Nothings worse t

Agreed. I'm pretty sick of the anti-JS kneejerk rhetoric that happens here. It adds zero value to any discussion. It's nothing more than a desperate attempt to gain some internet points. It's a popular language and it has fla

The way we handle this is by padding our sprints enough so that there's always "extra time" at the end. E.g: If we as engs think we can do 12 tickets in a one-week sprint, we commit to 8. This leaves room to pick up any produ

I've started using Friday as a "personal development" day at work. I do not write any code on Friday (unless it's a severe production level issue). Instead, I spend the mornings reviewing PRs that I wasn't included

I want to like dev.to, but I think it needs more granular curation for the feed. I want to follow interesting JS/web-dev related stuff, but if I follow related tags all I see is "5 tips for new devs" and "how to pass the

Yep multiple commits over a long period of time + different services (microservices). Was possible to revert, but the work needed to be done. The biggest mistake was letting this singular person take control and not let anyone else in on it

It was an on-going rewrite that consistent of multiple PRs against multiple services (micro-services arch). The 48 hour push was to "finish" which didn't end up happening. Reverting was possible, but would have been just as m

IMO there are two types of tech debt. The first is "techincal" debt - which is stuff that gets ignored for the sake of faster delivery but slows down development in the long run. Missing tests, spaghetti code, weird hacks, poor do

Similar set up here... except our CI doesn't handle "down" scripts, so bad db migrations are roll-forward only. Which.. isn't as bad as I thought it would be (so far).
