Articles on remote work say you save 10 years over time by not commuting As a woman working remote I just think about all the time I save by not doing my hair, not doing makeup & not deciding on a cute-but-work-appropriate outfit By my calculations I've saved 210 years so far

Me: Wow I work remote now. I’m going to travel the whole world. Me six months later: Hi I’d like to cancel my co-working membership I’m finding it difficult to leave my house and drive the ten minutes it takes to get here. Also putting on shoes seems like a lot of effort.

If you're learning JavaScript, you've likely heard people tell you how important it is to learn the fundamentals. But what are they? And where do you learn them? Here's a list of JavaScript fundamentals and my favorite free resources for learning them. 👇

Crazy how often I see this: -Open source devs getting shouted at for not fixing enough issues. -Devs who make free coding courses/tutorials getting shouted at for not offering enough free mentorship. Stop telling the devs who contribute the most that they don't do enough.

Unpopular opinion: The senior developers who tell juniors “you don’t need to code on the weekends!” might mean well but the thing is, those seniors probably *did* code a lot on the weekends to get to where they are now.

I asked a dev I met a few years ago at the airport what advice he had for aspiring programmers. He said, first stop calling yourself ‘aspiring.’ That implies you aren’t something but hopefully will be someday. It undermines your self-esteem. If you program, you’re a programmer.

Watching a senior developer get stuck on a bug and then walk through his/her process for fixing it is one of the most helpful things a junior can witness. You learn their strategy for thinking through problems, and you also realize that everyone gets stuck sometimes.

I think most Americans don’t read because they were forced to as kids in school. Most homeschoolers I know were never pressured to read & now they live & breathe books. When you’re forced to do something it becomes a chore. When you choose to do something it becomes a passion.

From an early age, we’re taught that we can’t truly learn something unless we get a degree in it. That we can’t learn as effectively without school or college. This is the most important lesson to unlearn. You’re capable of teaching yourself so much more than you think.
