Hi @Logitech, I know this looks great on a spreadsheet, but please don’t do this. There are better ways to build a product that lasts.

Didn't like the way this @JDVance1 bloke (newly picked as #Trump's running mate) slagged off the UK lately. Looked into him. Not great. Made a parody song inspired by @ABBA called "Vance VP" 🎶 Shout out #americast (@BBCsarahsmith/@awzurcher) & @RestIsPolitics for ℹ️ profiles 👍

For facts sake: Transgender Day of Visibility has been on March 31st for the past FIFTEEN years. Easter is NOT always on March 31st. President Biden has no control over the overlapping dates, so quit the lying, Republicans. And, grow up & stop being so afraid of trans people.

For the record, I like working with self taught engineers. I love their hunger and curiosity

Just remember, we can all be Devin. I'm an "AI" programmer. I'm not Artificial Intelligence. I am Artificially Intelligent. (patent pending)

I'm a software engineer looking to join a product team. I have years of experience in full stack web development, GIS, and education. I'm most proficient with Javascript/HTML/CSS/React/Python, but I'm open to learning anything. If you're looking to hire, send me a message! :)

“I don’t need Tailwind. I’m a CSS expert.” ⚠️Will your docs will be as comprehensive? ⚠️Will your class structure will be as thoughtful? ⚠️Will your dev tools and extensions be as robust? ⚠️Will your build automatically exclude unused styles? ⚠️Will new hires potentially already have experience with your approach? ⚠️Does your entire dev team have a shared understanding of your CSS strategy? The answer to these questions is almost certainly "No." So, the most likely outcome of not using Tailwind...is creating an inferior alternative to Tailwind.

React performance problems are rare. So, if I have a performance problem, I typically did one of 4 things: 🚫 My component is too big (so I split it) 🚫 I put state too high (so I move it down) 🚫 I'm changing state many times/sec (so I throttle state changes) 🚫 I'm rendering 1000's of elements (so I add pagination, sort, search, filter, etc)

I’ve been reluctant to try ChatGPT. Today I got over that reluctance. Now I understand why I was reluctant. The value of 90% of my skills just dropped to $0. The leverage for the remaining 10% went up 1000x. I need to recalibrate.

You don't need a MacBook to code. You don't need a MacBook to code. You don't need a MacBook to code. You don't need a MacBook to code. You don't need a MacBook to code. You don't need a MacBook to code. You don't need a MacBook to code. Just FYI.

I used to admire him. I can't stand him now. I had to block him because seeing someone that is supposed to be one of the "greatest minds" of our generation act like an absolute moron day in and day out is depressing. I don't understand the obsession with this guy at all.

Almost a year since I started using Go and I still believe PHP (Laravel) is the perfect match for building web applications.
