I’m helping a company build a VERY big React app by composing many separate React projects. 19 teams, and growing! I just audited the projects and there’s a number of differences between the projects: Lint rules Form libraries Router versions tsconfig settings State management libraries Data fetching and caching approaches That's a problem. Here's why: The more consistent our projects are, the more code we can share, and the easier it is to move between projects.

To all the companies calling people back to the office full-time: Don't mistake presence for performance. Showing up is not a sign of commitment or contribution. It's an act of compliance. What matters is the value people create, not the place they inhabit.

Staying in all day, then being told by the delivery company that you were, in fact, not at home after all

Even though we’ve been building up to it for months… Britain still can’t believe it’s Christmas at the weekend.

It’s that time of year when it’s freezing in the house but boiling outside
