Actual 5 Regrets of the Dying: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_To… I wish I’d had the courage to live a life true to me. I wish I hadn’t worked so hard I wish I’d had expressed my feelings. I wish I had stayed in touch with my friends. I wish that I had let myself be happier. (7/10)

Inspired by Cal Newport's Digital Minimalism book, I'm doing an audit of all the social media / communication services I'm using, and figuring out how to extract max value. If I unfollow you, I promise it's not personal ❤️

I missed the opening keynote of HackTheNorth so I went back and watched it today. Y'all have to see this. He gets so real in the first 15min alone, and speaks with such self-awareness and empathy. youtube.com/watch?v=nHHCrTjc… Highly recommended 🙂

Loved @_hannahjl talk's on writing better docs. All docs need: 1. Description (one or two sentence summary - what does your thing do?) 2. Installation (how do people get your thing?) 3. Examples (code sample/screenshot of your thing in use) #Jazzcon
(paraphrasing) "Research + Design + Dev = Building a house w/o Design, the bathroom might be in a weird place w/o Dev, there might be no bathroom at all w/o Research, we might be building on a sinkhole and none of it matters" - @marisamorby @Jazz_Con

Sticking with the react track at #JazzCon and I feel like I'm seeing a pattern of functional programming being used to solve common problems. It's neat!
Had loads of fun (and learned a lot) at the functional JS / ramda workshop, by @jlengstorf at #JazzCon . Especially how far you can go with es6 + functional programming! And what a cute end result 🐶🐶🐶

One of my fave takeaways was learning that .bind() can be used for partial application of a function -- not just to make sure you have access to "this" in the scope. Just like using functools' partial in Python!

this broke my heart :( I know there's stigma around homelessness and its ties to mental health, but it's sad to read about how it can compound silence to harassment [TW] huffingtonpost.com/entry/opi…

Speaking of food insecurity, I found this article on some great things to drop off at your local food bank! I'm gonna add a bunch of these to my grocery list: buzzfeed.com/ryankincaid/can…

Give generously to your local food bank this holiday season, and make sure you’re giving the stuff they really need.

Nifty quick read: davidwalsh.name/es7-es8-feat… I like how entries() will be like iteritems() in Python 🐍
"Would you rather fight 1 horse-sized pull-request, or 100 duck-sized pull requests?" I love that this talks about extracting max value from PRs! kurtfunai.com/2017/12/100-du…
