To those newish to #engineering: Asking for help early on in a new problem isnt a cop-out. It's an opportunity to see it through different eyes before you're 100% fried& feel impostor syndrome. Coding doesn't have to be solo to be real #pairprogramming #programming #todayILearned

Whenever I need a self-esteem boost I send my mom a screenshot of my VSCode with the most basic HTML file, maybe throw in a terminal window with like an ls -l command or smth, and she will not believe how clever I am, and can I continue my fake life in peace.

Commence the flame war!
Coding is more about communicating than computing. New data: the best predictor of how quickly people learned to code wasn't math or cognitive ability, but language aptitude. Math skill was almost irrelevant. Coding is mastering a language, not numbers. nature.com/articles/s41598-0…

That Bluetooth bit made me laugh☺️ Me: I thought we talked about your breaking up and forgetting those headphones, Bluesy? BT: Oh, um, yeah, I forgot. Plus, I'm named after a Viking, so what'do'u expect?
Regex, CSS, Bluetooth. If you had the chance to build one technology over again from scratch, what would you change? the-stack-overflow-podcast.s…

America, I’m honored that you have chosen me to lead our great country. The work ahead of us will be hard, but I promise you this: I will be a President for all Americans — whether you voted for me or not. I will keep the faith that you have placed in me.

The nation collectively holds its breath as we come together to watch a python script periodically scrape a json feed and shove it in a bootstrap table.

Every frontend engineer & UX/UI designer reeeeally wants/needs that blue to touch that dotted line!! For UI reasons of course. 🤣 @kentcdodds

The whole country needs to stop right now and listen to Killer Mike. He’s verbalizing what a lot of us don’t know how to express
