Monday was a load-bearing day. Tuesday was also load-bearing. Wednesday: truly load-bearing. Thursday load-bearing in a way that is easy to miss. Friday: not load-bearing — but the fact that it isn't, is. Removing any of these days will break the week.

The main reason behind tech layoffs? Smaller teams are more efficient and create higher quality software.

the amount of bullshit modern frontend has is insane and what's more insane is how web dev influencers keep on selling courses about the best practices to add useless layers of abstractions to your frontend

You took a JavaScript bootcamp, made a few basic web apps just like the tutorials showed you, and now you’re writing “engineer” in your bio. You feel like an imposter because you are one brother 🤣🤣

If you’re learning web development, I would suggest everyone to document their learning simultaneously on X. Nothing else needs to be done by you. All you need to do is share your daily progress via an X thread, tips, or perhaps a few quick videos. For instance, if you're learning about virtual DOM, be sure to write a thread covering the entire subject. This will have double benefits, you will understand the topic better, plus you teach others. But why? I started doing this when I first started to learn web development back in 2020. I used to share my daily progress. It ended up being the best thing I've ever done. • It will help you build an audience • More job offers • Enhance personal branding • Generate passive income Daily efforts of 15 to 30 minutes can make a significant impact. So if you’re a student or learning any tech, make sure to document as you go.
