I feel like every time I come up with an app idea, there are 5 or 6 identical apps out there. How do you compete?

Because the second it's not javascript, you're going to lose 100x the audience. You'll also compete with all the other languages that can compile to Javascript and then the question is entirely different. CoffeeScript did s

IMO, you're fighting the culture of OSS. I see that culture as "give some, take some". Where we exchange help and knowledge rather than payment. Adding explicit payment cheapens my involvement - and passion and creativity

If you're just starting your career, side projects will have the biggest impact. Mastery comes from dedicated practice and side projects are just that. Make sure you're learning new tech, patterns, languages, whatever, but the m

https://www.amazon.com/Nonviolent-Communication-Language-Lif... Nonviolent Communication. I think it was linked on HN where it caught my attention. This book teaches a great way to communicate, but for me, it has also help

I've been struggling with ProseMirror for the last 2-3 months. This looks amazing and I'm looking forward to replacing Prosemirror with it.

I've used Ember in a large non-tech organization. Ember's particular way of doing things, being opinionated, allowed us to focus on building the logic out instead of worry about secondary decisions: file structure, routing, data

If you're comfortable sharing, what are your shortcomings? How are you doing on the technical questions? What level positions are you applying to? > a few projects even prompted companies to reach out to me first This raises a fla

I think the issue is more complex. Take an average college grad, put them in a "good enough" company with a shitty manager and less than interesting work and I think there's 10-20% of those grads who get comfortable and enjo

Fixing it is hard. The biggest hurdle is just admitting to yourself where you're at and how you got there. As much as you can blame your previous employer for your situation, it's ultimately your responsibility and you need to o

That's your experience, but far from reality. You're right, it's not easy, but that's why we're here. You also have to realize discipline > motivation. Everything you just said is a personal problem, not somet

Maybe it's because we're slower on the release cycle? We stick to LTS and a little extra depending on our workload. We also committed to using controllers thinking it would be easy to convert to routable components later on, whe

Figure out what's more important, learning something new or building a project. I think there's a point where you're experienced enough for it not to be a trap. Concepts, patterns, and structures repeat and once you've
