What about all that “just f*king use React” and all other variants? 😅 #frontend #softwareengineering

Just noticed my VO2max increasing to 48. So happy about it. Hard to believe that it was at 34 just 2 years ago. #garmin #running #tennis

@jonathanyeong.com I really like your approach to comments and likes via BlueSky on your blog. Thinking of doing the same. Are you happy about that solution so far?

A thought I’m reflecting on this weekend: “A person must choose, again and again – to burn bright or only smolder. If something isn’t worth dying for, it isn’t worth living for.” – Roman Kołakowski, Źródło (originally in Polish) #poetry

I find it quite funny that I go to big cities to relax – an unexpected perk of living in the countryside, I guess. 😅 BTW, #Warsaw never stops impressing me.

Am I the only one who finds #running without a preplanned route so difficult? Even when I try to run freely, I catch myself looking for a logical explanation for the direction I've chosen. 😅

I would like more people to learn that Sometimes You Need to Save Even Valid Criticism for Later When Your House is Literally Burning Down

Everyone focuses on the "technical" part of technical interviews, but another important thing being evaluated is communication. If you can share your thought process and walk the interviewer through your reasoning, you might pass the interview even if you can’t solve the problem!

What would you recommend to someone who would love to start contributing to #OSS regularly, but struggle to understand where to start? Tagging some of the best contributors I have in my network hoping to get some advices 🤞 @tkdodo.eu @crutchcorn.dev @graphieros.com @danabra.mov @tannerlinsley.com

Navigating the #AWS console was always intimidating for me. So how did I end up with their Pro certificate and all three Associates in just 7 months? More importantly, was it worth it for a #frontend dev? You can read the full post here: chudy.me/blog/from-ze... And here are some key highlights 🧵

Just upgraded my first site to @tailwindcss.com v4, and oh boy, it's so fast! It took me a while to fully migrate to the CSS-only config, but it gives that feeling of "this is exactly how it should be." Amazing work, #tailwind Team!

"The fact that two components look or behave similarly (or even the same) doesn’t automatically make them good candidates for abstraction." Damn right. Great post from @chudy.me 👏

Don’t Repeat Yourself, also known as DRY, is a foundational principle in #software development, often learned early in a developer’s journey. At first glance it sounds simple and straightforward. But can it be misapplied? Let’s explore it from the #frontend perspective: chudy.me/blog/fronten...

Damn, writing those blog posts takes time 😅

When I started my blog three weeks ago, I thought it would have a maximum of 10 readers: my wife, a few colleagues, and… me times five. Testing on every browser and device counts, right? 😅 But I didn’t see that coming... 🧵 #frontend #blog

This year, I plan to start contributing to #OSS. And guess what? I've just noticed that my very first PR was merged! Nothing big or fancy – just a small bug fix. But wow, that feels great 🙌 #Frontend

And the next step: creating a culture of blameless incident response.

@cassidoo.co, @tkdodo.eu, and anyone who relates: I've seen you advocating for BlueSky over X and announcing your transition to that platform. What would you recommend to someone just starting to build their network? Is BlueSky sufficient, or would you still recommend starting Twitter as well?

Every time I write about “software engineering” I feel like I shouldn’t be so general, as my perspective is limited to the web development only. Tough, but one cannot learn everything, right?

The idea of #Micro-Frontends has become a trending topic, often highlighted for enabling better separation of concerns, team autonomy, and faster delivery. However, after years of excitement, I found myself recommending against them. Here’s why: chudy.me/blog/when-mi... #frontend #software

"Never ask if somebody needs help, always ask if they want help." 🤔Join our conversation with @swizec.com, author of the “Senior Engineer Mindset” book, and Dan Ilies, mobile SE & tech content creator. Check it out: www.youtube.com/watch?v=VXQ3...

“In web development, HTML is the noun, CSS is the adjective that describes the noun, and JavaScript is the verb that makes it do something.” – @cassidoo.co cassidoo.co/post/web-dev...

That’s how I prefer to handle routes as well. While nesting them in directories makes it tempting to colocate logic there, this creates unnecessary coupling. Unless we're working with a very simple application, it's better to treat route files purely as route definitions (including loaders etc.).

The past year has brought me several transformative insights. Here are the top seven lessons that shaped my journey and, hopefully, might inspire you as well. You can find the complete write-up in the linked blog post, along with key highlights in the following thread. 🧵 #frontend #web #wrap-up

Stuff you could do in 2025 that will increase your luck surface area:
 - Podcast - Give a talk - Take a course - Go to meetups - Promote your work - Go to a conference - Publish on YouTube - Create a side-project - Write a blog/newsletter - Attend a founder retreat - Build something in public 💻🌱

I've been thinking about starting a software-related blog for quite some time, but I've been reluctant, mostly because I feel the web is already oversaturated with content. However, after reflecting on my reasons, I decided to give it a try. Is anyone here also writing? I'd love to network 🤗

The accounting tool Bench shut down with no warning 3 days before the end of the year. They had raised $110m in venture capital. The app is no longer accessible. There will be a way to export your data, but it's not available yet. File over app is not just for individuals.
