@NanouuSymeon You have to be good at mathematics

What is the biggest lie about programming?

@palashv2 Starting in the early eighties, you had to be all three

Are you a developer, programmer, or coder?

@TayKyle Suggestion. From a blank .html file create a simple game, maybe Blackjack, 21.. You’ll have to understand javascript’s; logic coding i.e if( total > 21){ bust = true} graphic animation/manipulation i.e. display, zIndex xhttp..etc I did poker dice. github.com/jamespankhurst…

@madsbrodt I think impossible to master. Design is about what you see. When that varies cross-browser....

Feels like CSS is both the easiest AND the hardest language, at the same time. Easy to get started, difficult to master 🤔

@palashv2 I do my *creative* coding at night. I then spend the next day figuring out what the hell I’d done and how I did it.

Are you an early-bird or a night-owl coder?

@meetjain74 Jigsaw

If you would create your own programming language, what would you name it?

@FrancescoCiull4 I have no choice, I am addicted. No one pays me anymore...just can’t stop..

Why are you in the world of programming?

@madsbrodt Imposter syndrome. Had it all my life, until I got old...

"The more you try to be certain, the more uncertain and insecure you will feel. But the more you embrace being uncertain and not knowing, the more comfortable you will feel in knowing what you don't know" Love this quote for both coding and life in general - embrace uncertainty!

@towernter ..any negatives you get are from people that haven’t realised the power of Javascript Objects...

@towernter Will not only be relevant, will be dominant. It is the magician of the internet....

Will JavaScript still be relevant in 2022?

@SimonHoiberg Had same thing, a bunch called ‘Serious about IT’.....I soon added an ‘SH’ to the beginning of the last word. Nobody can care as much about your clients as you.

I considered outsourcing support entirely. In the past two weeks, we got an external support agent hired in to help us out. This completely changed my mind. If you want your users to experience world-class support: Keep doing it yourself. As long as it possibly makes sense!

@ravinwashere Javascript Objects are *key*

Help a JavaScript beginner with one tweet!

@TechPickleJoel Javascript objects, javascript OBJECTS, DOM, javascript OBJECTS. Try to avoid REACT...learn javascript objects and you can create your own REACT.

What is the best advice you would give to a junior developer❓

@SimonHoiberg letcomm.org Providing a digital platform for rental tenants. Just began..... github.com/jamespankhurst…

Show me your side project or indie product 🤩 What are you working on right now, and where do you expect to take it? Please, drop a link as well so we can check it out! 👇

@jonlis1 Global travel

I still don’t think I’ve seen a good explanation for why past pandemics (even the 1918 flu pandemic) have blown themselves out and this one just doesn’t seem able to?

@flaviocopes I set up my first CMS in 2002 - thersp.com Didn’t know it was CMS at the time, users called it the ‘5th dimension’ lol. Classic ASP, MS Access db, design by Storm Uk.

How many headless CMS do we have? I'm trying to count them all. Strapi, Sanity, Storyblok, ... name the one you're using or know 👇🏻

@kriti24suchi Nuclear waste

What lasts forever?

@LeeMcQueen I think David Moyles will be the next manager. The creators chosen one will prevail.

@madsbrodt Gm, my struggles with js disappeared when I studied javascript objects. The ability for js objects to contain other objects and arrays, functions... anything.... it is the real power of js. It’s how React works... Recent example github.com/jamespankhurst…

gm to everyone currently struggling with JavaScript

@danielcranney I was on strong painkillers for a while, couldn’t look at the screen for too long.. so started working out code in my head, then typing it. Remarkably I found I got very few errors, often running straight off. Now I’m off the painkillers I’ve returned to typing and bugs.

Is anybody else suspicious when their code just… works?!?
