Yay world. After a day of frustration, I was finally able to make a simple command line app that searches for Tweets @TwitterAPI @TwitterDev . Look forward to the day when I can make an authenticated request in one try. #webdev #webdeveloper #webdevelopment #Node @nodejs

One of my goals for this quarter is to get my first bug fix approved on an open source project @NetlifyCMS . And I'm very chuffed to say that I can cross that off now. More importantly, it's cool to help improve an app I depend on so much. #javascript #reactjs #javascript30

@rachelnabors Beautiful. Thanks for the recommendation. I've come across readings that have nothing to do with programming, but very applicable to it.

There are many good books on programming and what people think makes 10x programmers and the art of programming. This book is better. It's not about programming. It is about learning. And sitting with un-knowing in the now. And "letting your hands think." And trust

Everything in this book, "The Wisdom of Tea," is applicable learning React

Once in a blue moon, I have the urge to change my shell prompt. Here's what it looks like currently, which displays a #git branch if a directory is a Git repository. Written with a #bash shell script that I'l forget tomorrow 🙃 #unix #terminal #codersnotes

Excited to say that after being a long time lurker, I finally had my first contribution to @NetlifyCMS by @Netlify . The project maintainers and collaborators are so supportive and I couldn't have asked for a better open-source project. #100DaysOfCode #webdevelopment #OpenSource

@empirepowder 👍. I was one of those people, though I was not upset enough to leave reviews. It wasn't until I became a developer that I realized building amazing apps take time and money. Surprise.

I'm reading some consumer app reviews and I see people upset for having to pay a premium price to access more features. I mean, how else can the team maintain the product without ads and selling your data?

Cool thing I learned today: Compare specific files between two #git branches. This is quite helpful to see if you will have merge conflicts, or comes in handy when you come back project after a long time and have no idea what it was about 😅. #webdev #codersnotes #versioncontrol

@empirepowder Congrats. I often find that the first few days are the hardest. Once I get the ball rolling, it becomes automatic. But I just need to skip a day and it's so hard to get back. 🤪

small win! I've been writing (almost) daily for 2 weeks straight now. It's a 100-word writing habit & I'm doing it for 100 days. my goal is to write consistently, and in turn, improve my writing. maybe I'll make it a daily thing even after 100 days. let's see 🌱

In #React , I often write define constructor and call super(props) without understanding if it's really necessary. So today it's nice to know that I can skip that if I don't have anything to initialize, thanks to the class field feature in #javascript. #100DaysOfCode #codersnotes

@empirepowder That's such a good tip, and I love the snowball effect it creates if the former turns out to be true

how to tell if you're lazy or tired to do something: just start doing for the next 10 min. • if the momentum continues, you're fine. keep going. • if you still feel tired after 10 min, you probably are. please take a break & don't push yourself! rest is productive too.

I love @housecor 's courses at @pluralsight because in addition to one of the best teachings of #React , I get to learn development tips that I never know I need. For ex, use extension to avoid writing the same boilerplate code over and over again. #javascript #codersnotes

Have you ever got back to a project after a long time and needed a little hint of what a commit includes ? I have😩, and I've found a lengthy git command that shows you all files modified in a commit. #git #gitcookbook #codersnote #100DaysOfCode #developers #webdev

@erikaheidi Hi Erika. I don't have an answer for this 😞 but generally how long do you spend on issues like this before calling it a day? Asking because sometimes I spent nearly a whole afternoon on an issue to no avail. It wouldn't make a difference if I only spent half an hour or so.

an hour lost, "why is this collection always returning empty" 🙄

@sarah_edo Hi Sarah. I'm so sorry to hear what you're going through, but I have nothing to give except that sending all positive vibes to both of you ♥️

It’s not the biggest part of it, but the night sweats that go along with cancer relapse really blows. What they don’t explain about it how it impacts sleeping patterns and adds to the general stress of the thing.

I thought I know promise in #javascript, but I've just learned that: promise.catch(f) is the same as promise.then(null, f). That means you can catch errors using the `.then` method only, although using `.catch` is more convenient. #100DaysOfCode #codersnote #Developer #webdev

What to do when you're at an element and you need to walk up the DOM tree to get an ancestor of a certain selector? #jQuery can do it easily, but I've learned of a pure #javascript polyfill that I can make do with 🤪 #100DaysOfCode #javascript30 #webdev #webdevelopment

@codeFreedomRitr What a nice thing to do as a CTO.

Was talking to my CTO a few days ago and joked about how I thought I knew front end until I got hired and realized I knew nothing. He interrupted me to say “hey, you know a lot”. I really needed that. Don’t let people downplay their skills.

@empirepowder Not a plant but I'm a hoarder of beautiful websites, so I appreciate your share 😁.

is this how I become a plant person? I'm in love with this site: howmanyplants.com 🌵🪴🌿

Embarrassed to say that I've only learned of the difference between currentTarget and target in #javascript events today: - currentTarget gets the element that an event listener is attached to. - target gets the element that triggers the event. #100DaysOfCode #webdev

Sometimes, you have an input field of type number, but it is indeed a string and you want to coerce it to a number. My first instinct is to use parseInt(input, 10), but a developer before me used unary plus. Here's the difference between those two👌#javascript #100DaysOfCode

What is state management in #reactjs ? If you don't know what it is, or not sure if you really understand it, how about making something in Kanban board style? It also taught me more about #React hooks than any course I've taken 😅. #javascript #100DaysOfCode #webdev #webdev
