- Replying to @thymikeeI would argue the opposite. If a small package exists that does what you want, a senior knows to use it and save their brain power for bigger problems.
- Replying to @Madisonkanna100%! The interview process is broken. At no point in any developer’s day to day work do they need to recall an algorithm from memory and perfectly execute it in 30 minutes, with no googling, and while people watch and judge you.
- Replying to @dhhI’m glad to hear this. I think Rails got a lot of things right and honestly the reason people don’t like it is it’s too easy to use and they want pain and over engineering just to feel smart. Excited to see what the future holds!
- Replying to @dmokafaMost higher-ups in companies force dev teams to ship features quickly because they don’t understand how badly the mountain of tech debt is going to crush them later.

- Sounds like better communication is needed. TypeScript is great, but could probably be converted in smaller chunks.
- Replying to @samcraigjohnson and @thymikeeHard disagree with your hard disagree. I’ve seen so many companies think they are smarter than OSS maintainers and spend 2-3 years making a bespoke framework, then delete the whole thing and start the process over because it sucks. Focus on your unique business logic.
- #EmberJS Inspector is now live on the Mac App Store! Please give it a try and let us know if you notice any issues. apps.apple.com/us/app/emberjs…
- Replying to @moshhamedaniClean code is hard to define. It has to have good variable names, easy to follow logical flow, and be self documenting, but there are plenty of variations on what could be considered clean.
- Sleep for 6 hours. Work for 8 hours. That’s only 12 hours out of 24. You still have another 18 hours to: - Build your side project - Take cold showers - Run a marathon Time is not the issue.
- React hooks were a mistake
