It is fundamental knowledge, but you can skip it thanks to higher levels of abstraction. In the end everything is just bunch of ones and zeroes and clever hardware architectures. Nand2tetris is great source for figuring out whether this is

Understanding lower levels can be satisfying for certain type of people. I find it very useful when you can reason about stuff that is mostly invisible to other people. But if you are building web apps then this stuff is 95% useless as you

To clarify, I meant native as build with native platform gui . No electron no web views. I’m curious because everytime a topic about desktop pop ups GUI I see passion about it and sentiment native good and electron bad.

Sure npm is not silver bullet. But I want the npm experience. Technical implementation can be improved as you say and I agree.

The npm install experience should be baseline for newer languages. Simply let me get into hacking fast. This is one of the top reason I like tinkering with JS because it just works. (Yes, I know all weaknesses of JS ecosystem, but getting i

I don't use axios often, but if I need to intercept requests, or set global headers I always need to wrap my fetch function and creating my own "axios". Axios can do these things without hassle.

Wish you well! Did you work from home? Because my attention span also dropped significantly during covid. What helped was getting out of the house to get some work done.

You always start with a search. You want something, you know what you want to find. I think the structure is important for discovery ie API docs. Knowledge bases often lack content that’s why stack* sites exist. You can check apple support,

Its good to remind myself this . Not once I thought I know something after watching a summary video. When I tried to explain the topic to somebody else I struggled. If you can’t explain you know nothing. Simple as that.

I'm currently building a tool for generating website just from a text content as an input. It tries to figure out what layouts would match the content. Why? Because creating these websites quickly is always content problem. We should s

Github may show a warning when creating repo about all possible name collisions. We see this problem often. If anybody from GH is listening :)

When I saw this I thought about what S. Jobs said once: something like “We think about problem and work out the tech for it backward”. If the best solution is to use some APIs then go for it. The focus should be on the problem. We like tech

Internally I don’t want message to be sugar coated. Criticize my performance with whatever language, be direct and make sure personal boundaries are not crossed. In other words, make it clear that everybody focus on performance not the pers

Some of us enjoy watching livestreams or videos where code is being created. I think this can be sort of stage performance in some sense.

Backward compatibility is bridge to whole JS ecosystem. If there was way use “unsafe” old js code within newer language that would be great. But it would bring another set of annoying problems.
