ALWAYS notify me when you're done with a task or if you need input. Use
`say -v Zarvox [brief notification message]`.
You're welcome.

Amazing. Just staggered by the humility of this man. Humanity needs more Jonny Ives.

Coding assistants have made for the case for TypeScript 10x stronger.
- AI agents use TS's type errors as an extra feedback loop
- AI agents need handholding to investigate runtime errors
- The cost of writing types has dropped to zero
Please, don't use .js for anything

DOM components in expo router with shared tailwind is amazing. My question is: when will @expo and @Baconbrix wave their magic wand and replace the WebView under-the-hood with native, react-strict-dom components? ๐ช

I believe the benefits of GraphQL are fundamentally under-realized. Most organizations fail to capture much of the value it can provide.
In thought Iโd sketch out a "GraphQL maturity model". How mature is your org? Would you appreciate GraphQL more if you were at 13?

Great article by @cnakazawa! I wish I knew how to needlepoint. There are a few quotes I'd like to hang on my wall... mostly to help me avoid repeating some of these common mistakes we developers like to make. ๐

Thinking of going back to college to get an advanced degree in configuring Babel and Webpack. Anyone recommend a program?

There has to be a term for this. As craftspeople, we get excited about new tools. Sometimes our goal is not to build the thing, but to [mis]use the shiny new tool.
Ever since Swift gained support for multiple trailing closures, I see people writing this SwiftUI code:
Button {
doWhatever()
} label: {
Text(โButtonโ)
}
Instead of:
Button(action: doWhatever) {
Text(โButtonโ)
}
I liked the old way better.

I remember the early days of Swift when _everything_ was modeled as an enum, and there were protocols coming out our ears.
Our CEO, @DonBrownIndy, talks about the healthcare landscape post COVID-19 and how businesses can prepare for the next pandemic.

An awesome opportunity for kids to show us how they are #KeepingCOVIDAway. Remember, the more we share, the more we are together. Thanks to @FromTheLabBench and @LifeOmic for making this possible!

Just got off the phone with my 69 year old friend Woodrow who is now in ICU fighting COVID. He made me promise something so this is me making good on that promise.
โYou get on your website and you tell people to take this (stuff) seriously. Use my name and tell them I said that.โ

If youโre still wearing a mask when you go out, please retweet this tweet. I would just like to see how much common sense is still out there.
