I quit my job a few years ago so I could be an independent consultant.
The difference in my daily routine is amazing.
Before, as a full-time dev:
6am - Wake to alarm
630 - Drive to work
7-4 - At work. Eat breakfast and lunch at desk while working.
430 - Home. Fam time and dinner.
7-10 - Build my consulting biz
After, as an independent:
7ish - Wake to sunlight - No alarm
730 - Breakfast
8-930 - At gym with my wife
930-4 - Client work in my home office. Lunches with friends and fam. Afternoon walk with my wife.
4-9 - Relax. Fam time. Read.
Independence is amazing. Getting here was hard, but worth it.

Vite Tip: Seeing weird behavior? Run the build. Here's why:
Today I taught a team React with Vite. Someone's changes weren't applying on save.
Vite would load the latest file changes successfully on startup, but then fail to show any updates upon save.
Super confusing... 👇

Did you know that the phrases uppercase and lowercase came from the box the printers used to set the type? The caps were in the upper case and the smaller letters were in the lower case. #WritingCommunity #Print

⚛️ React context tip that I didn't learn until recently:
The Provider is *optional* – you might not need it!
This makes working with React context simpler for singleton-like ("global") usage.
ALT import { createContext, useContext } from 'react'; export const SomeContext = createContext({ message: 'Hello' }); // ... function SomeComponent() { // No provider needed; will use default value const data = useContext(SomeContext); return <marquee>{data.message}</marquee>; }

Your mistakes don't define who you are. It's what you do after you have made the mistakes that makes all the difference.
Every mistake you make is a learning experience. They don't make you less capable. But it's how you correct them or learn from them that defines you.

I love the Russian people. That is why I have to tell you the truth. Please watch and share.

You cannot get educated by this self-propagating system in which people study to pass exams, and teach others to pass exams, but nobody knows anything.
You learn something by doing it yourself, by asking questions, by thinking, and by experimenting.

The difference between a good student and a great one is that a good student is concerned more about the outcome while a great one is fascinated by the process of learning.

Performance tip: do you know about `overflow: clip`?
It is a modern alternative to `overflow: hidden` with better performance

For all its evil,war sometimes has a tiny silver lining. It can clarify the mind and reboot our ethical compass. It puts less serious things in perspective. It nudges us towards our neighbor and reminds us that our needs and interests are intertwined. It reignites our compassion.

Just learned about Ky, an elegant alternative to fetch or Axios.
github.com/sindresorhus/ky
Ky requires VERY little code to make HTTP calls. 👍
Here's a comparison making the same call with Ky vs fetch:

I find myself copying code, a “logger”, into a new repo. It’s the third time I do this. The logger is too tiny to even bother package as a library, but useful in many projects.
“I wish we had Polylith in Python” 🤔
We have that now! #Python #Monorepo
