@mattpocockuk @getTobiasN @jfhector fp-ts’ approach is to catch as deeply as possible and return a typed error (that you define) instead. A number of its modules have a .tryCatch method to facilitate this.

@getTobiasN @jfhector Yep, that's what I'm interested in - if there's any abstraction which can robustly guarantee that my errors are of a certain shape.

Want Rust-style 'Result' errors in TypeScript? Follow these 4 steps:

@GergelyOrosz I like this approach, but its effectiveness relies on accepting that you may realise in a few weeks/months that it wasn’t the right fit, and having a way to deal with that.

Of course, everything has tradeoffs. No coding during the interview means more emphasis on past achievements and resume, and leaning more on referrals. It also means a lot more "hands-on" trial period. It's all about tradeoffs with hiring, always.

From a startup CTO: "Now that offering full-remote work is no longer a big differentiator for hiring, I wonder what the next big differentiator can be for smaller companies like us." They ended up betting on a simple hiring process with no coding exercise for senior engineers.

@sarah_federman Guess I’m unpopular too! In general, I’d rather work with average people aligned around business/shared goals than exceptional people aligned only around their personal goals.

Unpopular opinion but I would rather work with an average designer who understands the medium and is a pro at working with devs to ship than someone who creates exceptional work that takes twice the amount of effort for everyone else on the team to get shipped

@housecor I also do this when users can update the page (e.g. comments) and I want their update to participate in SEO.

3. Server-side rendering (SSR) I use this when: - The page shows different content for each user - I want to render it on the server for better performance and SEO Example: Bank account page

4 options for rendering in @nextjs: 1. Static Site Generation (SSG) 2. Incremental Static Generation (ISG) 3. Server-side Rendering (SSR) 4. Client-side rendering (CSR) Here's how I pick between these options. 👇 🧵

I was gone. Now I’m back! With thoughts (those were never gone). thchia.com/blog/head-in-t…

@nedlowe82 Ban meetings which comprise someone reading their slides pretty much verbatim to everyone it’s not primary school.

For every meeting ask “Can this be an email?”. For every email ask “Can this be a Slack message?”. For every Slack message ask “Can this be a yes/no question?”. For every yes/no question ask “Can this be a ‘object or I’m going to’?“. Cascade through that each time. #productivity

@wgao19 I think I did something similar to manage multiple modal/dialog type elements on screen.

used this pattern in my code today, put a stateful variable + setter function in a Context wrapping the parent component, and have children notify parent on its mounting particularly like the fine-tuned boundary it provides youtu.be/O1JCHV7xonQ

@qiannyqian What chair is it? Also, LONG LIVE PAPERONE LAPTOP STAND.

MY CHAIR HAS ARRIVED wow that was FAST

finally caved and ordered myself a semi-decent chair to work on I might be broke but at least I won't have butt pains from continuously coding on this dining chair fml

@hj_chen @lakatos88 Bewdy

designing and building @lakatos88's website refresh was the most fun i had in a while 🙆‍♀️ chenhuijing.com/blog/the-one-i…

@qiannyqian How can the paper box lid be topped though 💯 💯

All I need is for my laptop stand to arrive and my desk will be complete (for now)!

@giacomocerquone I have tried this and it’s possible. You’ll need to write a binding between the store subscription and your UI though.

Could a single instance of #redux (or any other state management library) be the bridge in a communication between vanilla js and a react app? I'm trying to port a #Wordpress #jquery based app to #react and I'm encountering many difficulties and uncertainties. Is aknown practice?

@cheeaun I’m more of a container slides person

It’s amazing that so many folks are still quite unskilled in presentation slides design, even when it’s part of their job to present all the time.
