TypeScript tip: stop using optional properties so much in your internal app logic. ❌ prop?: string; ✅ prop: string | undefined; Being explicit about undefined values eliminates the silent bugs that happen when you forget to provide a value.

“This delivery trap is the result of an organization that is laser-focused on team output and pushing new features through the system as quickly as possible; essentially robbing teams of autonomy, mastery, and purpose” search.app/nN8cFLjXSjf8hQmXA

Si tuviera que dar un consejo de carrera profesional, sería que estés mejor o peor en tu empresa, asegúrate de que estás aprendiendo. Si son cosas técnicas genial; pero también puede ser a nivel de modo de trabajar, organización, comunicación, producto o lo que sea

“Coding” was never the source of value, and people shouldn’t get overly attached to it. Problem solving is the core skill. The discipline and precision demanded by traditional programming will remain valuable transferable attributes, but they won’t be a barrier to entry. Many times over the years I have thought about a great programmer I knew that loved assembly language to the point of not wanting to move to C. I have to fight some similar feelings of my own around using existing massive codebases and inefficient languages, but I push through. I had somewhat resigned myself to the fact that I might be missing out on the “final abstraction”, where you realize that managing people is more powerful than any personal tool. I just don’t like it, and I can live with the limitations that puts on me. I suspect that I will enjoy managing AIs more, even if they wind up being better programmers than I am.

TIL you can use a regex with pnpm run to run multiple scripts simultaneously. No more npm-run-all or concurrently!

Three agile camps on estimation: 1. Estimate everything (hours, story points, tee-shirts, whatever). 2. Eliminate estimation; produce continuously and let business decide when to stop or start something new. 3. Forecast completion based on statistical methods instead of guessing

⚠️ ATENCIÓ! El PSOE pretén implementar la #regulaciódelloguers amb un índex de preus altíssims. Això vol dir que els grans tenidors que estan llogant habitatges a preus de bombolla, no hauran d'abaixar el lloguer. És una vergonya, ajudeu-nos a difondre!

What a fantastic way to present #UIDesign history: The Evolution of the Scrollbar Interactive scrollbars you can actually play with from the very first (Xerox Star, 1981) until 2015. scrollbars.matoseb.com/ h/t @karger

Software development is the art of replicating the atypical architecture choices made by Google, Facebook, or Netflix into trivial projects with modest requirements.

contrary to popular belief, having readable code is actually better than having cool looking one liners 99% of the time
nested ternaries are bad and you should feel bad using them

The hardest part of Engineering Management for me is context switching. Not the jumping from meeting to meeting but understanding the current status of 50 different projects, their blockers, dependencies, etc. Still trying to figure out how to get a good handle on this 😳😁

🔴 Glovo dejará de pagar el tiempo de espera a los repartidores que esperamos un pedido delante del restaurante. Esta medida implica que no nos pagarán por nuestro tiempo de espera, significa que trabajaremos gratis. Con Glovo la precariedad no tiene limites.
