Every business is a lifestyle business. Some just have no life outside of business because they work 80 hours a week. That’s a lifestyle too.

As a startup, always bias toward simple. Customers will tell you when your product doesn't do enough, but will never ask for fewer features when they stop using your product because it's too complex.

“Separation of concerns” is just as much about *grouping* things that change together as it is about separating things that change independently. That side of it deserves a lot more attention than it gets.

This months attempt at @typescript! 1. Changes perfectly working .js file to .ts. 2. Immediately gets not-a-real-error 3. Googles around for 15 minutes trying to figure out solution. 4. Switched back to plain .js Yep, static types still work just like I remember them.

Watching JavaScript's ethos move from "you don't need types, they hold you back from poetry" to "types are going to solve every problem we've ever had" is a fun journey from one incorrect idea to another.

A lot of programmers make the mistake of thinking the way you make code flexible is by predicting as many future uses as possible, but this paradoxically leads to *less* flexible code. The only way to achieve flexibility is to make things as simple and easy to change as you can.

console.log is the best debugging tool period. If you think it's a bad habit, get off your high horse

If you haven’t checked out Ember.js in a year or more, it’s undergone a lot of modernization. A lot familiar from other frameworks, and (I’d say) a lot of advantages too! Here’s a quick overview of modern #emberjs2018 codingitwrong.com/2018/08/16…
It’s short-term fun to build, but long-term fun to refine.
