What I wish I knew before becoming a Manager is getting uploaded to Youtube! 😎
I felt in such a good flow while recording this, and I can't wait to share it with all of you soooooon....
Sometimes you can be laid back and code with lofi music and socks on.
But there will be times where you will have to crack your knuckles, stretch your arms and take your socks off, one leg on the chair, bad posture; for full focus mode.
I had a great zoom call meeting with everyone this evening that attended today’s @torontojs class. We focused on technical interview prep! It was great to get some practice in and get feedback from all the mentors amazing mentors! #javascript#coding#mentorship
How did I only just learn about the CSS `::file-selector-button` pseudo-element?? developer.mozilla.org/en-US/…
It represents the button of an <input type=“file”> and thus makes styling it possible using just a few lines of #CSS

After almost 8 years of its existence, the @pnpmjs way of structuring node_modules is now available in @npmjs
It feels like a little victory.
Now the pnpm node_modules (and the hoisted node_modules) are available in @yarnpkg, @npmjs, and @pnpmjs
A new version (v19.6.0) of @nodejs
is out!
- Adds support to leveraging loaders when resolving subsequent loaders
- Includes npm@9.4.0 adding a new option for installations similar to pnpm
⬇️ Get it now:
$ nvm install 19.6.0

heartened by these results from jamstack.org/survey/2022/#we… — svelte continues to be the framework developers like using the best. and honestly, the experience of building svelte apps up till fairly recently has been kinda trash. pumped for people to experience sveltekit 1.0 🔜
Technical Interviewing Strategy Tips from @_cwlsn
1. Think out loud, verbalize everything
2. Start simple, find the right logic
3. Leverage your knowledge to craft a solution
4. Don’t use programming terms when describing your approach
5. Ask when you’re not sure of something
Stop feeding into bad culture. If your manager sucks, do something about it. Get external advices and push for change.
Same goes to your government officials..
Legacy code is code that is no longer up to the team’s current standards: coding style, architecture and paradigms, testing strategy, etc.
Anything that wouldn’t pass a code review as-is if it was submitted again.
