It's finally out! Apologies for the delay but this one took a lot of work and then I got hit with RL stuff. This #webpack video includes: 🔹Babel 🔹React with Fast Refresh 🔹SASS, PostCSS 🔹Images (new v5 way) 🔹Browserslist 🔹Hosting on Netlify 🔹& more youtube.com/watch?v=TOb1c3…

@Tweetistaaan Yah, I felt bad leaving everyone hanging there. Webpack 5 is still great, I would just take Rollup for libraries I'm creating if it's between the both of them.

@JimmyDCleveland Well this industry itself is draining. U mentioned about working a lot on rollup and suggested that it can be better to work on than Webpack 5 so I was waiting for that video. As I migrated my company project from Angular 5 to 18, I wanted to update builds tool on it too.

@JimmyDCleveland bro why is your YouTube channel dead?

@luketbnam Thank you, that is kind of you to say. I had some grand ambitions for the rollup video, but it ended up taking longer than I had time for lately. I've had to put the videos on hold for a bit, but I'm hopeful to get back to them someday soon.

@JimmyDCleveland I also watched your latest video on build tools and thought that it would be cool if you could do a Rollup tutorial when you get a chance! I love the way you explain the programming concepts and hope to see more contents from you👏x3

Learning the basics of publishing NPM package. youtube.com/watch?v=WRjJW8… Roadmap to building component library ✅ npm package ◻️ semantic versioning ◻️ esm vs cjs ◻️ bundling (rollup) @JimmyDCleveland Thanks for an awesome tutorial!

@kyleshevlin Sometimes I do the silly thing of just writing what to do next right in the middle of my code so I have an easy error to fix that reminds me what I was in the middle of. Not the same, but similar reasoning.

This is a nice VS Code feature to enable if you are switching between working indoors and outdoors. Switching your system preferences to light mode when you want to enjoy the lovely weather is also something I wish I realized sooner.

Don't sleep on anything Josh creates. He has some of the highest value content I've encountered in web dev. The attention and thought put into every post and course is humbling.

Copilot always gaslighting me with comments that my code is "a bit of a hack".

@jayphelps I think about this idea a lot and how many burdens could be lifted from teams while also providing great teaching scenarios for skilling up everyone involved.

If I was in charge at a big tech company I would have a team whose entire job was to refactor and clean up code. They'd add the original authors as reviewers, make custom lint rules, etc.

@dmikester1 @wesbos Really an underrated pick.

@wesbos I'm not on Mac, but on Windows I love Everything. voidtools.com/support/everyt…

Are there any 3rd party apps that index files and provide a better search than Spotlight? I can never find anything because of node_modules I miss that little dog from windows XP who always found what I wanted

Communicating knowledge insecurities in code comments is underrated. Its easy to assume that I knew more about the code I wrote than I actually did. Simply coming across a: "I am not really sure what I'm doing here" can be great context for deciding what changes to make.

@StephenPHassall Thank you!

Giving a shoutout to @JimmyDCleveland for his great video on publishing NPM packages. Nice job good sir. youtube.com/watch?v=WRjJW8…

@stefanjudis Had no idea.

Quick HTML tip: ordered lists come with a "start" property.

Nice and concise comparisons of some modern CSS options with simple, consistent, examples. These types of posts are so valuable, and it really can't be overstated how thoughtfully put together the examples are. I also appreciate the takeaway at the end. Thanks, Josh.

@crutchcorn I learned about your work from the lovely @syntaxfm podcast you did. Really fantastic stuff, thank you for all your contributions and excellent content.

A huge thank you to @JimmyDCleveland for sponsoring my work on GitHub Sponsors! github.com/sponsors/crutc… Thank you for supporting free dev education and my OSS packages!

📒 After two years of work, The Framework Field Guide is officially out! 🎉 If you want to learn React, Angular, and Vue, this book is FREE and teaches all three at once. Ready to start your journey? Link in next post:

I missed this talk by @JoshWComeau a year ago, and it is quite good. Lots of great mental model shifts that I wish were taught this well when I started with CSS. Thank you, @jimniels for the article nodding me in the direction of this talk! youtu.be/Xt1Cw4qM3Ec

@GaborPfalzer Thank you for the nod, and always cool to hear the video was useful. Great resources.

A few cool, free videos for this stage: tinyurl.com/cf92temb by @JimmyDCleveland, awesome intro to why you actually test, and get started. Overall awesome channel. tinyurl.com/3czdwkbf by Laith Harb, this one goes into Mocks a bit as well.

Testing Resources🎯 As promised, here comes a little thread about my approach for learning #javascript testing as a junior/ jobseeker #webdev, with some resources here, free an paid. Disclaimer: I am no authority, just learning now like you guys. Thread here: sigh...🧵

@JoshWComeau Nice. Looking forward to it.

@endingwithali I used to think I coded a lot more than I do before I started seriously time tracking for myself. 5-6 is a my average max these days, but 4 is pretty common. I have seen that those numbers are very influenced by whether I'm learning a lot of new things or doing familiar patterns

full time software engineers: REALISTICALLY how many hours a day do you actually sit and write code? its definitely not 8 total hours, we know that. how many are you acutally sitting there are coding?
