New programmers are often uncertain if they will ever be good enough. As we grow more experienced, we learn to relax in the total certainty that we'll never be good enough.

As an adult, I find it hard to be in a beginner state. I constantly berate myself for not being a master from hour 0. As a child, I was a beginner at everything, and learned almost exclusively though play, and when playing, I did not think in terms of failure and success.

As a person with multiple years of using microfrontends at Spotify I can with some authority say: microfrontends makes as much sense as roommates washing clothes with individual, tiny washing machines in their room, because they cannot deal with the discomfort of negotiation.
A commonly used but largely misunderstood word: a "microfrontend".
What's the "right way" then? Because I've heard 15 answers. Someone good at the economy please help.

This is cool! However, remember, your app does not have this performance problem - your app has an unoptimised image or one extra http request or an extra reflow. Never optimise without profiling.
🚀 Perf tip: if your web app ships large JSON-like configuration as JavaScript object literals, consider using JSON.parse instead. It’s much faster, especially for cold loads!

Duplication is bad.
But a bad generalisation or shared mutable state is much worse.
Let duplication grow a bit before extracting.

I've been thinking about why I mysteriously find weakly typed languages to be easier to work with than C# which I used to do before them. I think one contributor might be that weakly typed languages are less forgiving of bad naming, and culturally drives stuff like this:
Better Boolean Variable Names 👏
Coming up with good variable names can be a challenge. For boolean values, you can follow this convention. Prefix it with `is`, `has`, or `can`. Just by reading the name, you'll know it's a boolean 👍

This advice is for Swedes and Germans. Brazilians can safely ignore, best audience ever.
Advice for conf speakers:
When someone you care for is speaking, sit in the first row. Be there for them. Laugh at their jokes, _actually_ watch the talk (Twitter can wait), make yourself visible for them.
Be the audience you'd like to have, and next time you will have it.
