I would suggest to read Jason Schreier's book: "blood sweat and pixels" - it opened my eyes about the process of building AAA games - which sometimes is soo chaotic that is hard to believe they could build anything.
Despite the fact I like some of the changes presented there, one particular detail has shot me: lack of understanding why github has put commit messages in file list and removing it - this might be a harsh opinion, but proved to me that the author doesn't fully understand how most users (developers) are using GitHub.
After couple years on OSX, many years on linux, I've gone back (I was using windows before I've started working as a developer) to Windows (10) - and I'm very happy with it!
WSL works great for my needs (Node.js / front-end development mosty, but I run RoR / Python apps without any problems).
after 2 years on osx, 5+ on linux, I've ended up on Surface Book 2 15" (Windows 10 with WSL - I don't use Window's cmd at all) and I'm pretty satisfied with the result - AMA.
Before that, I've been using ASUS Zenbook UX32LN - I think it was the best machine I've ever had (now my wife is using it, I wanted to try out Surface devices since I've fell in love with the design of that product line)
Following @jefflombardjr example, I would like to share an example of my personal website: https://lukaszkups.net .
Why do I like it? Because I've literally built it by myself from scratch - starting on design (all the graphics, even the map in experience tab) to the static site generation tool that I use to manage content (will release it soon as my first truly open source project).
Same here. I've recently been put on the 'other side of the table', first time as a recruiter, and tried to be someone like you've mentioned in your comment. If someone would like to learn more, here's my brief blog post about the whole process: https://lukaszkups.net/notes/on-the-other-side/
I really try to convince myself that this is not a troll comment.
But I can't.
[edit]
Since somebody downvoted my previous form of comment (probably because of lack of constructive opinion) I'll fix it now:
Calling other programmers noobs doesn't make you a better person by any means.
On one side you're saying that Vue.js is that easy to learn so there's lots of noobs using it, but on the other side you're saying that you need constantly google/look into to docs for help.
Vue documentation is the best introduction to the tool I've ever encountered. Same for the rest of the docs for the Vue's ecosystem - they're written in consistent form, so you can just simply 'jump in' and learn progressively. Even templating language looks like already familiar good old HTML. I was prepared to build production-ready application after a week of messing around with Vue & its documentation.
I can't tell same much good words about React, since after spending a month with it I couldn't figure out how to solve some basic edge-cases (like finding proper way to style components - are you kidding me, React is like 3+ years old, used by thousands of developers and people are still arguing about proper way of styling its components? In Vue you just put it into `<style>` block of Single File Component, or serve generic ones in the global stylesheet file and that's it, simple as that.)
But I think it's just a matter of personal preferences - Vue just suit me better, while React doesn't. I don't like react personally - but I do respect the people who created it and these who uses it on daily basis. Period.
Every developer can choose hers/his tools that suits best, but calling someone because of that a noob is... just unprofessional.
besides standard folders that are delivered with the OS, I tend to create folder `/projects` with my personal side-gigs and `/work` with commercial projects for other people. nothing fancy.
I think it.. depends - I use instagram as my inspiration feed - it's full of nice things, not other people's lifes - so I think it depends who are you following or what content are you interested it - most of my instagram feed contains professional lego builds, custom mechanical keyboard or bauhaus-like designed products.
Same for twitter - despite the fact I'm now slowly move into joining some weekly emails about the stuff I'm intersted in I still use twitter as a my main source of news about front-end tooling / programming / entrepreneur / design stuff.
good point. I've never met any client that would like to write in markdown though, but I love it, tbh. My most desirable feature of markdown editor is drag&drop images that turns automatically into `` tags - I wish more editors offer such feature.
