LearnCode

Can you believe we get to do this for a living? Sometimes I have to remind myself how I did all of this for fun before I got paid to do it. Sure there are "those days"...but "those days" in any other job would be way worse.

The #1 dislike I hear about @tailwindcss is "it clutters the markup" - ironically, often from coders who love TypeScript, but see the value prop & gladly overlook how much TS clutters the code. Tailwind actually UNCLUTTERS your css...it's self-cleaning as things move & change.

@ninjoah xCode is ...the absolute worst. Thank God I only touch it once a month. I honestly don't understand how it's so bad.

@LearnCodeAcad Oh you’re gonna love expo! Totally saves you from xCode drama.

Ok, I have to say, after (very intentionally) avoiding mobile jobs for many years, React Native has finally made mobile fun for me.

@ninjoah Hey Noah! Still on react-native cli here, but it's surprisingly happy to build on.

@LearnCodeAcad Are you using Expo?

@UriGoldshtein That's...what I totally need to spend time thinking about, but just keep procrastinating on haha. I have this gut-feeling that you could structure something where you opt-into manual control + ceremony where it makes sense...but magic by default (like next.js is for react).

@LearnCodeAcad if you would to imagine the perfect structure, how would it look like?

GraphQL still feels like Redux before Redux-toolkit (or MobX). Lots of ceremony to make changes is willingly endured on the backend for the amazing client benefits. Where's my open source GraphQL-toolkit?

@UriGoldshtein In prod: apollo, urql, express graphql, vanilla `graphql`, graphene (python). At scale, you always find yourself doing what you did pre-redux-toolkit: bouncing around multiple files to get things added...forgetting the ideal order if you haven't modified schema in a month.

@LearnCodeAcad What are the current tools you are using with it?

@abby_fsd No worries...just dm me when you're good! We are hiring for multiple positions, so not a mad rush.

@LearnCodeAcad Cont'd: I've the reminder set already & I'll definitely get back to you asap! Please do lemme know if it is okay! Thanks!!

If you're a boss with React + Node + Postgres, come work with me at Truebill! (now Rocket Money) We're hiring several fully-remote (or onsite if you prefer) seniors. I love working here. I can get your application fast-tracked with HR.

One important skill of a good senior engineer: They steward their passion well. They self-monitor for burnout with strong awareness. Should they notice burnout or low-passion creeping in, they make adjustments to keep their own engagement and passion solid.

@abby_fsd Amazing! DM me your email address, I'll get you an apply invite that goes straight to an HR person.

@LearnCodeAcad It'd mean a world to me if I can get an opportunity to work w/you. I'm already excited. I saved this post & added to my reminder. Within a week or so I'll update you. Thank you so much for sharing ❤️

@LahoriJawan1 DM me your email address. I'll get you an invite!

@LearnCodeAcad How to apply?

Pay/benefits/bonus, etc is all great, obsessive avoidance of meetings is glorious, but my favorite thing: working on a product my family already uses & loves everyday & willingly pays for...for the first time in my career. Amazing how rare that is.

After years of wondering if a small-footprint treadmill would be nice for my standing desk, I finally got one. And I know we’ve only just met, but I think I’m in love.

Pro tip! Don't name your color swatches as words that may ever appear in user copy, lest someone globally find-replace those swatches one day and the user sees this lil bit of glory:

Never let a year go by where you don't take on something so wildly unfamiliar that it makes your head hurt at first.

@aarondfrancis @ninjoah Noah is clearly a wise soul. 😆

@ninjoah @LearnCodeAcad Thank you!

Who are your favorite developers on YouTube? Either live streams or produced. I want to start watching more dev content over there!
