When I began learning front end dev, I almost quit. Several times in fact. I thought I would ever be a good developer. But I didn’t quit. If I had, I wouldn’t be here. Push through the self-doubt. You are awesome. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.

A forthcoming defensive programming skill for front-end developers: assume third-party scripts are blocked (by ad blockers, the browser itself, etc) and gracefully handle the situation instead of throwing exceptions all over the places!

Better Boolean Variable Names 👏 Coming up with good variable names can be a challenge. For boolean values, you can follow this convention. Prefix it with `is`, `has`, or `can`. Just by reading the name, you'll know it's a boolean 👍 #100DaysOfCode #CodeNewbie #301DaysOfCode

My “Enough with the JavaScript already!” talk wasn’t about JS being bad, it was about HTML and CSS being good. If you can do something in just HTML, do it; if you can do something with just CSS, do it. Only when HTML+CSS fails you is it time for JS.

There will be an entire generation of savvy computer users, who will not have a clue about “bug”. You have to explain it using their choice of word: “glitch”. Tip: spend some quality time with an avid Minecraft player.

🔥 Did you know CSS has a `turn` unit? It’s often easier to turn something `rotate(0.75turn)` instead of doing the math to `rotate(270deg)`

We all write buggy code. But there are obvious things we can do to limit the amount of time we spend hunting down bugs: 1. Write less code. 2. Strictly separate concerns. 3. Simplify anything and everything that can be simplified.
