At some point I was considering recording YouTube videos but there’s absolutely no way I would endure having to create those YouTube face thumbnails

You know which ones I wonder if *The Algorithm* somehow rewards facial recognition in those thumbnails

IMHO most content creators are making one simple mistake - they don't re-promote their content

Imagine that you've written a blogpost that you're really proud of and decide to tweet it out - to your surprise, quite a lot of people seem to like it

Why do I test JS apps, a thread To start, I don’t enjoy writing tests _that much_

I don’t wake up in the morning and go “oh boy, I’m going to write some tests today!”

What I do enjoy is the value they give me, not the process

10 rules of a successful meeting in a tech company - a thread

👇 There's an agenda, emailed to everyone days in advance. Preferably with a desired outcome of the meeting.

Everyone attending should be able to answer the question: "why are we here?"

Fetch a random Star Wars character data using @sveltejs demo

Features:
- Fits in a tweet
- Handles loading state using the #await block
- Renders a _beautifully_ formatted JSON

Code in the next tweet 👇 <script>
async function sw() {
let r = await fetch(
`swapi.co/api/people/${Math.ceil(Math.random() * 9) + 1}/`
);
return await r.json();
}
let p = sw();
</script>

{#await p}<p>Loading...</p>{:then char}<pre>{JSON.stringify(char, null, 2)}</pre>{/await}

This is the biggest achievement in my speaking career 🥳

At the beginning of 2017 I gave my first talk at a local @meetjs meetup in Poznań

Two and a half years later I was invited to a conference on another continent 🤯

Thank you @react_india! 🙏

@meetjs @react_india If speaking at meetups/conferences sounds like your thing, I cannot recommend it enough - please give it a go!

I wrote this about the things I've learned since I started:

dev.to/tlakomy/what-i…

I’m incredibly impressed by this talk by @Rich_Harris and I absolutely agree with everything he said

Apart from the content, there’s also wit and fantastic delivery - I wish I could see it live

“Write less, do more”

Of course the fact that he also speaks fondly of jQuery helps a lot, not gonna lie 😅

Doing things on the web used to be so much easier as a beginner - jQuery did make you feel powerful, in a real way

$.slideUp(), $.ajax() and all that was there from day 1

Hi there,

I'd like to spend some time to address this tweet from yesterday after reading through excellent discussion that started with thoughtful @dan_abramov replies to it

https://twitter.com/tlakomy/status/1191782832261271554

First of all I'd like to say that I have tremendous respect for the entire React team, I've been using React professionally since the beginning of 2016 and I'm a huge fan

(It also helps pay my bills which is neat-o)

Okay, I've managed to create this @sveltejs JIRA/Kanban board with Todo/In Progress/Done states with a single item moving through those on click.

I've been trying for quite some time and I don't think it's possible to fit it in a single tweet :(

Maybe someone will be able to 🤔 REPL can be found here:

Get a Star Wars character with @sveltejs

<script>
function sw() {
return fetch(
`swapi.co/api/people/${Math.ceil(Math.random() * 10) + 1}`
).then(r => r.json());
}
</script>

{#await sw()}
<p>wait</p>
{:then c}
<p>{c.name}</p>
{/await} If you'd like to learn how this works, I've just published an @eggheadio lesson which is FREE for the next couple of days! 😁

It's only 80 seconds and you can add "await block in @sveltejs" to your LinkedIn 🥳

I’ve seen some seniority topics popping out here and there, so here’s my take:

Senior developer is so much more than “someone who has been writing good quality code for a while”. Seniors should make other developers (and by extension - the company) better at their work Productivity of the development team is more important than productivity of a single, experienced developer.

Of course that doesn’t mean that they shouldn’t get the time to get into flow and code. They’re developers, after all.

But at some point you shouldn’t “just code”

A while ago I used to work on online casinos. I liked it (especially from technical perspective) but it wasn’t exactly useful

That’s why I’m glad to be working at @OlxTech - our products HELP people. My mom is running her small cake business on OLX, my cousin is selling cars etc One of our core values at @OlxTech is “Take Ownership” (which is also a sticker on my laptop)

We own what we build, ship, deploy because not because we’re told to but because so many people are affected if we screw up
