If you ask it to build a headless frontend web app, it immediately starts generating code with Next.js. I’ve always wondered how it was trained to default to that choice, given the smorgasbord of web frameworks out there. Next.js is solid,

Why can't this just be on their website? Not everything needs engagement from the masses. Also building online communities is incredibly difficult and resource heavy, seeing that we can barely get enough funding for teachers to run th

I absolutely love your blog (and that Jeep). Been reading it since you started your Africa trip! Good luck and keep it up.

I'd highly recommend Asana. Plenty of integration, performant, and the learning curve isn't too steep.

Curious, how long did it take before you before emacs was your go-to choice? I'm a big vi and sublime text user but always open for better tooling. btw - I actually agree with you on the learning thing but React just sucks. I'm a

I did Wes Bos's React for Beginner's course and it was fantastic. and he's Canadian! I did Tyler McGinnis's class over at Egghead as well. Both were top notch.

Talk honestly about things you are working towards professionally. This has always worked well for me for a few reasons 1) the honesty will show and be appreciated, building trust with your prospective employer and 2) they can make an infor

If you have capital for investment in programmatic display ads you can buy the audience that way. I work in digital for a radio/publishing company and I can honestly say the programatic ads work.

Would you care to explain the cockroaches metaphor? I'm confused.

Would you mind explaining? As a jQuery believer, to me this looks like a selector method - getElementByID or something. I'm guessing this is against the whole idea of React.

Ads pay my salary. I agree. Someone has to pay for the free content everyone is getting. I will say that we try to created interesting and meaningful ads, not just garbage. We are one of the good guys, at least we try to be. Honestly, ad

I used Grunt for a little while until I discovered Gulp. Thought I'd post another option if anyone is interested. Much easier to get up and going. Although it doesn't have as large a community of tools. I'm confident it w

here here. It's just a catch phrase. Sorta like at Subway where they are "sandwich artists". I doubt they go around calling themselves that. Anyhow, as a front end "artisan", Laravel is pretty awesome to work wit

In many ways, I totally agree with this. It is very dangerous advice to go around and tell people to "work less, live more", or "quit your job, go live life". This isn't a one size fits all message (I'm not sa

+1 to this. I was drawn to Code Academy because I could immediately start playing around with code on the home page. (At least it used to be like that. Not sure anymore.)

I agree I didn't take this as a severely depressed person. Just someone who wants to change. Kudos and good luck I say. Work hard, be good to people and good things will come.

I don't think it is that far-fetched. I've had experience with a well known company that does millions in revenue per week (web based shopping cart) that just FTP's everything with no DVCS. Designers, developers, managers all have access
