I have a puzzle for you. A famous one.

But if you didn't know the answer, try to solve it.

🧵
You are on a game show, being asked to choose between three doors.

Behind each door, there is either a car or a goat. You choose a door.
The host picks one of the other doors, which he knows has a goat behind it and opens it, showing you the goat.

You know, by the rules of the game, that the host will always reveal a goat.
The host then asks whether you would like to switch your choice of door to the other remaining door.

Assuming you prefer having a car more than having a goat, do you choose to switch or not to switch?

Form validation is cool.

But have you tried to help users fill the form without errors?

🧵Here are a few tips on how you can do that
1. Reduce the number of inputs.

The less the user has to input, the less probability they'll make an error.
2. Auto-fill the data you can auto-fill

- Try to guess the user location, language, country etc.
- Put the current date/time if it's reasonable
- Save what the user has previously inputted

I bet you don't know how powerful the <img> tag is.

Let's find out 👇
Here is the most simple case of using it.

If the path is correct, the browser will display a picture of the mobile phone.

So far so good.
Now, we forgot to specify the alt tag for better accessibility.

There are two important rules:

1. You should always specify it

2. If the picture serves decorative purpose, you should put an empty alt, so that screen readers don't read it.

I want to share with you something private.

I remember when I was ~13-15 I was learning HTML/CSS/PHP.

My parents thought that this is childish, it has nothing to do with "real coding".

They told me that real coders use deep math and binary code.
So I was demotivated a bit. But now this is what I do for my living.

Then I started building sites, and I was learning SEO.

My father told me: "How is going to visit your site about learning English?".

I ended up with 4000 uniques/day and significantly improved my English
Then, I remember I wanted to go to English courses and pass FCE/CAE certificates.

When I found a cool English school in Moscow, my father told me: "what a suspicious company! Who needs the certificates? Who told you they are accepted worldwide?"

Now I write tweets in English
