that feeling when you make your lyft smell like garlic bc of the delicious potluckness you brought in and you end up getting pumped with the driver about all the ways you can cook chicken on the ride
I just published Building a Culture of Unit Testing with React on a Small Frontend Team link.medium.com/ezlSzGe8m1

also learned that you can accidentally set an object to {undefined:undefined} if you pass in an undefined variable into an object using JS object property value shorthand. This is probably a good use case for a default parameter - to always guarantee an empty object! #Javascript

just learned passing undefined as an argument in Object.assign doesn't really have an effect. This will allow for cleaner conditionally adding keys to objects 💯💯💯

Getting reader questions a few months after publishing a story is such a motivator to write more #React and #graphql articles!

went from 75 and a gorgeous clear night at the Rockies to 38 and biking home in terrifying freezing rain in less than 24 hours. Denver get it together!

i've been learning about partial application from @getify's @FrontendMasters video series and functional-light js book and FINALLY understand how the concept can help clean up all of my input onblur validations. Helping me write cleaner, explicit, and easier to maintain code!!

gonna write another medium blog post about getting after this concept, practically applying it to my react app, and deepening my understanding of closures! Thank you @getify! <3

why have I gone so long without using @Cypress_io? Feeling the magical productivity gains and so easy to really nail down the TTD workflow with their handy browser view. Docs are amazing too. This is a fantastic tool!

Why is the @youtube comment section still the best place on the web to come together, remember, and bathe in the nostalgia of songs that defined our pasts. Whenever I wanna enjoy or connect with the audience of songs I loved x years back that’s where I go. Am I missing something?

Your intro for a technical article should answer these questions: 1. Who is this for? 2. What do I need before I start? (knowledge, software etc.) 3. What will I learn? Save the long rambling story for your recipe blog.

nothing is more fun / rewarding then helping a friend launch their business and getting their site configured, up and running, and ready to customize. The @onepagezen tutorials on launching @WordPress instances on @googlecloud were so detailed, relevant, and helpful!
