Can you believe we get to do this for a living? Sometimes I have to remind myself how I did all of this for fun before I got paid to do it. Sure there are "those days"...but "those days" in any other job would be way worse.

The #1 dislike I hear about @tailwindcss is "it clutters the markup" - ironically, often from coders who love TypeScript, but see the value prop & gladly overlook how much TS clutters the code. Tailwind actually UNCLUTTERS your css...it's self-cleaning as things move & change.

Ok, I have to say, after (very intentionally) avoiding mobile jobs for many years, React Native has finally made mobile fun for me.

GraphQL still feels like Redux before Redux-toolkit (or MobX). Lots of ceremony to make changes is willingly endured on the backend for the amazing client benefits. Where's my open source GraphQL-toolkit?

One important skill of a good senior engineer: They steward their passion well. They self-monitor for burnout with strong awareness. Should they notice burnout or low-passion creeping in, they make adjustments to keep their own engagement and passion solid.

Pay/benefits/bonus, etc is all great, obsessive avoidance of meetings is glorious, but my favorite thing: working on a product my family already uses & loves everyday & willingly pays for...for the first time in my career. Amazing how rare that is.

If you're a boss with React + Node + Postgres, come work with me at Truebill! (now Rocket Money) We're hiring several fully-remote (or onsite if you prefer) seniors. I love working here. I can get your application fast-tracked with HR.

After years of wondering if a small-footprint treadmill would be nice for my standing desk, I finally got one. And I know we’ve only just met, but I think I’m in love.

Pro tip! Don't name your color swatches as words that may ever appear in user copy, lest someone globally find-replace those swatches one day and the user sees this lil bit of glory:

Never let a year go by where you don't take on something so wildly unfamiliar that it makes your head hurt at first.

If you have 1hr to learn/code, but are in a bad headspace, it's FAR better to take the first 30min to get in an ideal mental state than spend all 60min in the wrong one. To quote Abe Lincoln: "Give me 6 hours to chop down a tree and I will spend the first 4 sharpening the axe."

The most common barrier to learning new tech is intimidation. The #1 way to overcome that barrier it is to DECIDE to be confident. I don't ever waste my time trying to learn something new until I get in the right headspace for learning.

You will never have all 3 sides of this triangle. Pick 2 that get you the most important gains and attempt to minimize the pain of the side you didn't pick. Cultures that try to maximize all 3 burnout teams resulting in the degradation of the fast and/or stable sides anyway.

Highly effective coders are primarily highly effective people - who have mastered the skill of seeing where things need to go and crafting an organized path to getting there. Coding is the ancillary skill.

This is especially true in today's day and age, where even "static" content (to be able to be competitive) has so much continual multivariate testing and user-history-based personalization that very little is truly static even on something like a long-TTL article.

BTW, I tried a very different format for this video. Much more editing/clipping-along than normal, the goal being to give a high-level overview of how my projects come together...as opposed tons of detail for each line of code. Feedback is very welcome!

My 2¢ on @elonmusk & twitter: If he can maximize algorithmic trust (internal & external manipulations), & create a broad "social media Overton window", While minimizing overt racism/violence, nudity, & bots, Twitter will appeal to the massive majority that values individualism
