Great idea.

I've never written a conf talk, blog, or course without learning a ton in the process.

Tip: You can automatically add a code review checklist to GitHub pull requests by creating PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md.

Event organizers: If you give us a quality shirt with: 1.

Most bugs come from side effects, so write "pure" functions: 1.

Why write pure functions?

Tried Vue.

Wow.

Tip: You don't need to declare a constructor in your React component to initialize state.

Create React App has been upgraded: Webpack 2, PWA by default, and really slick error overlay.

Sure, destructuring props makes code concise.

A decade ago, nearly everyone was rendering their web applications on the server using technologies like ASP.NET, Ruby on Rails, Java, and PHP.

So here's my favorite new way to rapidly prototype React components.

Q: "How about we just ignore tests for now?

Love this.

A function name should describe what it does, not when it's run.

Software maintenance is not "keep it working like before."

After over 6 months of heavy research & writing, I've finally started recording!

ES6 modules support lands in browsers!

My take on #reactjs setState: 1.

Node debugging used to be 😔 In @code it's 😍 Watch window, call stack, hover vars to inspect...

React tip: State that references itself leads to out-of-sync bugs.

To increase quality: 1 TDD 2 Pair 3 Stop bug tracking.

My talk from Nodevember just went live on YouTube!

I spoke at Fluent conference in San Francisco in March of 2015.

I purchased the new Macbook Pro (MBP for short, below) with Touch Bar one week ago.

The hardest decision in software development today: What should I ignore?

I just published my newest course on Pluralsight!

Confession: Last week I burned an entire morning configuring SSH key authentication on our Enterprise Github account.

Save typing in npm: npm i -D <- install ---save-dev npm i -S <- install --save npm t <- npm test #node #javascript

Important: Named imports still import *the entire resource*.

Tip: Avoid using switch in #JavaScript.

JavaScript’s this keyword behavior has confused developers for ages.

Devs, watch out for this in 2016: You can easily spend all your time learning fleeting new tech instead of the timeless fundamentals.

I’m admittedly in the minority: At the end of a conference or user group talk, how should the speaker handle questions?

After over 6 months of preparation, research, writing, and recording, “Building Applications in React and Redux in ES6” just published on Pluralsight!

It's live!

These days it feels like everyone is attacking classes in JavaScript.

Common coding mistake: Trying to do too much in one commit.

I know what you’re thinking.

Angular 2 has reached Beta and appears poised to become the hot new framework of 2016.

Casing jargon for developers: camelCase PascalCase kebab-case Train-Case snake_case Camel_Snake_Case SCREAMING_SNAKE_CASE #programming

Well, that’s disturbing.Disclaimer: I speak in absolutes below for brevity.
