I'm also interested in this, but I'm more interested in what you need to say and do to convince other people you're an expert. > everything else frontend is pretty much resolved Ha…

What are you talking about?

This happens at the end of every hype cycle. People are dissatisfied, everybody is looking for the next big thing, and a bunch of people and companies throw spaghetti against the w…

This tweet[0] from about a month ago is pretty interesting. "If you ever wanted to dump someone's entire LastPass vault, this is where you start :D" The author was referring to the…

We had stuff like that all over the place in the last React codebase I worked on. Naming things is hard, especially when you have to name them four times: once for the hook, once f…
