I went a couple years ago in coutryside Rwanda, where locals brought me to a place where I could have some homemade banana wine, or "Urwagwa" (not sure about the spelling!). That p…

I love this approach and use it, but just realized it does not prevent Layout components from re-rendering upon navigation... have you found a fix for this?

I use this a lot when playing music for my kid, but unfortunately the feature is clunky: weird path to find it, self-auto-disable much later but with the song still loaded. Hopeful…

You put into words my exact experience with his influence on someone in my team a while ago. It was exhausting to have someone add complexity to our react codebase i.e. through ren…

Edit - he added a warning shortly after I posted the parent comment: https://twitter.com/kentcdodds/status/1447283294681194496

Once again Kent omits to warn his audience that such a codebase has a performative intent, and should be considered a weird exercise of thought rather than a model to follow.

He is working for himself only. Too self-centered to put anyone/anything else above his interests, which makes him oblivious and predictable, with a massive amount of people profit…

I get you now, and this is definitely an approach I agree with. I guess I was ranting about my previous experiences... since the last departure I encourage the rest of the team to …

Are you suggesting that a dev acting like this without consulting the team should be considered normal/expected? Not sure how to address a move which is unproductive in its nature …

This is about ownership. I agree there's no need to be personally attached to your own code. I have no problem with someone taking ownership of my work (understand refactoring/abst…

My two cents, Apple Car edition: adding such detail increases the visual noise when glancing at the navigation display, where simplicity should be king when the user is driving.

We have such silly silver-bullet-like talking points at my company. I don't follow them. It is to me too easy to make up/twist past experience to match what the interview wants to …

I use google maps a lot. When I walk around, when I drive (1hour commute/day). Also use spotify (but most of the time offline-saved tracks). Twitter/internet browsing in waiting ro…

The article is good. I do not "cover" silicon valley, nor do I live there. But I share the author's thoughts. Rather than solve real/bigger problems, startups are being over-funded…

In my use case, stop light cameras and speed cameras positions. There is an obnoxious grid around DC/Maryland that costs me around $300/year in tickets. To the "why don't you go sl…

Happy to see (with your comment and subs) that I am not alone. For my case, it is explained by the fact my right ear is deaf (I was born like that). The left one has perfect hearin…

Disengaging the clutch is not recommended, since it modifies the balance of the car. When you are accelerating, the rear wheels are supposed to be under more pressure, then have be…

Does "anonymity software" include VPN as well?
