Well it finally happened! Several weeks of tedious re-architecting, diving deep into Monorepo mental model, learning every toolings support (and limitations) for Monorepo support. This all after the initial effort of team buy in:. MERGED 🎉🎊 @turborepo.

I have 2 MacBook Pros, a custom-built PC running Windows & WSL2, and another laptop on Linux. None of them are "superior" they have their trade-offs. My suggestion, don't get into the brand loyalty camps or hate bandwagons.

@_noid_ @viviofgridania @Firr @LilScaryAndCute I always just assume someone is trying to replace me. That way I'm always motivated to be looking externally and trying to move up or laterally internally. I don't suggest this mindset for most. It's constant anxiety and paranoia, which I have anyway. might as well use it. 😅😆.

@AmarachiAmaechi I've developed on Linux, Mac, and Windows. It's about preference. I mean if you're developing with .NET and using Visual Studio. Windows can even be in your favor. I say go with what you like and comfortable with, not what's popular or trendy.

IF you get a unknown Zelle transfer, immediately report it to Zelle or your bank. There is a "chargeback-like" scam happening. They will text you trying to get you to send the money back then immediately report their original transfer as fraud. My bank didn't even know about it.

@sarah_edo Because misogynists and sexist gatekeepers don't have issues with men's accolades and accomplishments in tech confirming their fallacious bias. Bouman is a rockstar and deserves credit where credit is due. I am stoked on her accomplishment.

TypeScript sucked the joy out of writing JavaScript. I'm forever grateful I didn't listen to anyone early on and kept writing TypeScript. Now I can enjoy my favorite language ecosystem with superpowers.

I can't stress the importance this library has been playing in our ecosystem. - tRPC is a great example which gives FullStack apps TypeScript superpowers . Zod is a big part of giving TS superpowers.

@scottjehl I love all technology. Any strange allegiance to one, in particular, is a projection of ego and pride, generally insecurities in something unfamiliar or subjectively difficult to grok.

I like Danny Thompson, when you see me talk bad about grifters and self-help-like hustlers trying to pull you into their scheme. He ain't it, Danny is as legit, supportive, and just wanting to help, people as they come.

Huge advocate for this pattern myself .await + .catch() = OP Promise handling.
@jamonholmgren @housecor Dot catch is *the* way to handle errors in promises without over scoping their catch . Devs avoid it because they learned await as an alternative to method chaining but they’re so powerful used together.

This is toxic/unethical UI/UX. I would normally say "in my opinion" but it's just a fact. Tricking your users for your gain is wrong.

I will be the first one to DM and criticize Theo when he is fucking up. He isn't, he attempted to do this amicably & privately. T3-OSS isn't just a CLI its a community and he is trying to protect the community, thats never punching down in my book.

I am moving all my personal AND work projects to pnpm. I was doing it before this Tweet, now I want to do it more.
it's absolutely killing me when library authors list "pnpm install" as the only command in the readme. lmao there are literally 14 ppl using pnpm so chill.

I'm flabbergasted. Giving Prime a big fat W following up with this golden, thoughtful response.
@elonmusk First, here is an example:. TL/DR; Found some weird behavior in TypeScript, thought it was cool to share and lots of interesting takes. Attachment? .- seems fine as long as the preview window is well done. Characters?.- anything longer than 150 lines, no.

Finally, I can move off React and back to the true GOAT.
After nearly a decade of hard work, jQuery 4.0 is in beta. Despite being the most popular framework on the web, I'm concerned this one will slip under the radar, so I decided to make a video about it

My home is on fire, I grew up on Maui. It's worse than you think or most of the mainstream news is portraying!. Lahaina is gone, fires are everywhere else on the island, 37 have died, and even more people are missing or unaccounted for. .

Way to alienate an entire industry. 100% uptime is a myth, even for the biggest and best tech companies. Everyone makes mistakes, especially in complex systems. Glorifying failure is better than glorifying arrogance.
@IanColdwater Nope, 25 years of being an analyst, engineer, project, program manager - never taken Prod down once. It’s called “knowing what you do”. If you think as someone who has to deliver - and assuming the remit is 100% uptime - then either you do, or you don’t. Stop glorifying failure.
