The biggest scam in frontend is thinking HTML is so hard it requires multiple levels of abstraction.

No matter your title, no matter your seniority, no matter your industry…
There are two characteristics that separate good and great.
The first is critical thinking.
And the second is bias to action.
So hard to find, so hard to teach.

key failure point of many complex systems: the code being authored isn't the same as the thing that is running in production which makes debugging a murder mystery

🚩 "lots of dependencies"
Building software, frontend or backend, is not inherently complex. The key is to be use case driven and start with the simplest thing that could possibly work.
Tools don't solve problems: people do.

To be a pioneer is to stand on a shore and look out to a land no one can see, know there are dangers we cannot imagine...and set forth anyway.

I wish employers would understand that culture is not just perks & happy hours. It’s also the way employees work. 8am & 5pm meetings? That’s culture. Constantly being scheduled over lunch hours? Culture. False sense of urgency? Culture. Improperly scoped projects? Culture.

One of the clearest barometers of curiosity is how often you share ideas and insights with others.
A hallmark of discovery is bursting with excitement to tell people what you've found.
Frequent enthusiasm about communicating knowledge is a sign of intellectual engagement.

Expertise isn't about being consistently right. It's about becoming decreasingly wrong.
A hallmark of understanding is the ability to rule out inaccurate theories and flawed evidence, and thereby move closer to the truth.
Learning is the art of discarding mistaken ideas.

People often hesitate to give honest feedback out of fear of damaging the relationship.
If you tell them how you're working to improve, they feel safe to speak up.
Being forthcoming about your shortcomings makes it clear that you can handle the truth.

My view on life and business completely changed once I looked at each through the lens of game theory. @simonsinek is incredible; this is great insight into why playing the wrong game at the wrong time can destroy everything, starting with culture. youtube.com/watch?v=3DZmv6jp…

This is and always has been a people game. Surround yourself with great people. Work tirelessly to create an environment where they are empowered to be their best. Be honest and vocal with how you feel on their path to greatness with you.

Founders, if I told you that you could:
🧱 Increase productivity
♻️ Reduce turnover
🤗 Build loyalty
All in 15 minutes a day, you might think I was peddling snake oil.
There’s actually an easy way to do it.
Show gratitude
Here's a simple practice that I've seen work:
