The adapter works great with the Shure SE846 IEMs. I’d rather use the speakers than die on the no adapter hill.

I just use the adapter and keep a couple in reserve for when I lose one. Works great.

It’s just focusing on the moment, not something to really master the art and craft of cleaning dishes. Dishes is just an example activity that many might find venal, but is an oppo…

Cream of mushroom soup and Cheese Whiz!

“Web Dev” encompasses a hell of a lot of material. I’m still a fan of books.

I very specifically stopped targeting “buyers” in favor of individuals. The buyers want us to develop “whips & dashboards” Lucrative! Not what we want to build. That’s one of my fa…

Nik Graf releases this free egghead video course a couple weeks ago on Rust and WASM. https://egghead.io/courses/using-webassembly-with-rust

Ives said it was relatively easy to swap out the node bits.

The egghead Redux series has been very popular and useful for users. We’d love to talk about how we can compliment this documentation revamping with updated/new free resources. joe…

I don’t have a lot of parenting regrets but spanking my kids is one of them. Fear is definitely a solid deterrent though, no doubt.

This just isn’t true. React has been going strong for 4 years with no sign of slowing down.

I got LASIK at 42. It’s great. Don’t wait.

The Economist is excellent.

I got the X because I like the screen to size ratio and my purchased media is resting on Apple’s markets. A few hundred bucks either way is inconsequential. Style-wise, they aren’t…

I started my programming career at 35. I’ve had many great mentors. Many of them much younger than myself. I’ve also paid professionals for mentorship for both programming and busi…

It was always a slippery slope. The last thing Github wants is banner ads all over the place. Sure, this one was tasteful, but if they allow it the door is open for less savory act…

React is excellent. I've been building UIs for 20 years and it is by far the best development experience I've ever had. Watch out for contrarians and purist wonks. Set aside your p…

React has been "the yearly hot library" since 2013 for anybody counting along.
