Interesting how it turns out 🙂 Prompt: create a caricature of me and my job based on everything you know about me

AI is fast and convenient. But that’s exactly why understanding starts to slip. My rule when reviewing AI-suggested fixes: If you can’t explain why it works, stop. Shipping with AI ≠ learning. If AI can answer for you — what are you actually responsible for?

Engineering isn’t about having the right answers. It’s about making decisions without certainty, and owning them later. Episode 3 of Build With Maya is live 🎙️ open.spotify.com/episode/1HAT...

“What will I do without AI?” 🤔 I wrote a new blog post about how AI fits into my actual engineering workflow. AI doesn't replace thinking, but help you cut through noise: onboarding, code analysis, docs, and decision-making. 👉 mayashavin.com/articles/wha...

Soo true that it is hilarious 😂 Cre: www.reddit.com/r/Programmer...

Technical presentations aren’t just about what you built — they’re about why it matters. 💡 Last week, I shared my talk “Tell the Story, Not Just the Specs” internally @salesforce — on turning complex ideas into clear, engaging stories.🎤✨ What’s your #1 tip for giving better tech talks?

Happy Rosh Hashana! 🍎🍯 This year brought fresh starts, new achievements—and even a sweet new addition to my not-so-big family 😆. I’m grateful for all that’s happened and excited for what’s ahead. As the saying goes: Don’t worry, be happy—everything happens for a reason 😘. Cheers! 🥂

Liquid what you said?

22000 steps logged today 😝. Portugal and the weather is too cute today. 🥰

Ok I’m trying to figure if I should upgrade my shoes from Pegasus 39 to Pegasus 41, or Vomera 18, or nothing at all. What do you say? Cc @henrihelvetica.bsky.social

Just wrapped my talk at #JNation 🇵🇹 on bringing Accessibility into CI/CD! From Playwright to axe-core, Lighthouse, Evinced, and even Copilot Agent—we explored tools to automate a11y checks and generate clear reports with LLMs. Demo: github.com/mayashavin/a... Make your components accessible, fast!

happened to know about GitMCP project - gitmcp.io and how it turned from side project a full scale and popular project on AI and MCP topic 🚀. The idea of instantly transforming your public repo into documentation hub, and allowing Cursor to access latest documentation and code sounds just amazing!

🚀 New article! Sometimes wrong usage of CSS, such as positioning properties can make your component inaccessible, when it may not look like so. Let’s learn how the right use of CSS Flexbox can make the difference, and keep the code clean for a custom input counter 👇🏻 dev.to/mayashavin/m...

Who will be in Paris this week and wants to have a coffee with me? :)

Welcome to the family 😂🥰

Stay calm and let’s meditate 🧘 Good morning!

Excited to announce me joining the Salesforce Israel R&D as Lead Software Engineer. Can’t wait to see what we can accomplish together as part of the blue cloud and baby Einstein 😉

What an amazing 4 years at Microsoft! I've grown so much, from front-end to leading projects from start to finish, from web to AI. It was a blast! Deciding to leave wasn't easy, but I'm ready for my next adventure. I'm sure we will see each other again! Thanks @matanbobi.dev for the mat!

I've noticed many UI frameworks reinventing dialogs/modals. HTML's <dialog> element offers a better approach. It provides native accessibility support and essential features, simplifying development. Learn how to leverage it in my new article: mayashavin.com/articles/bui...

My talk video for @vuejsnation.com is up - let’s talk about State and XState ☺️

Seriously we need Polling here in Blue Sky 😥

This blog post shared some of my feelings towards React in the recent years, especially the part of Vercel involvement, useReducer and Context usage as a state management. Not to mention useEffect() and a bunch of hooks that do more harm than improve performance 🤷🏻‍♀️. www.felgus.dev/blog/react-i...

How to improve Webpack performance? ❌ Try to dig in and configure Webpack ✅ Run `npm uninstall webpack && npm i -D vite` 😆😆😆 credit goes to @yonatankra.com
