Why Good Tests Start with Good Code Why writing testable code matters more than writing tests. My journey from spaghetti code to clean architecture using SOLID principles and the Controller-Service-Repository (CSR) pattern. Learn how se...

Hot take: healthy coding patterns matter more than test coverage! 🔥
At early stage start-ups, the reality is you need to ship fast and find product market fit.
This can result in buggy spaghetti code.
The fix isn't necessarily more tests - it's better architecture.

Which AI co-pilot do you prefer for coding?

I've heard some people talk about toxic positivity and I think it's good to remember that "being positive" doesn't mean you have to pretend to be happy all the time. 🙃

Why the Problem Matters More than the Solution at Tech Startups In the world of tech startups, it's easy to get excited about an innovative solution. However the real key to success lies not in the solution, but in accurately defining the problem.

Thank you!

How to Influence the Product Process as an Engineer As an individual contributor (IC) software engineer in an early stage tech start-up, you have the opportunity to exert influence on the product development process in several ways.

🔨 I rebuilt my site from scratch! 🔨

I wanted to challenge myself to create my own blog from the ground up using minimal coding libraries. Admittedly, I’m having more fun building my blog than writing articles for my blog.

#BuildInPublic #WebDev

This is pretty cool, I didn’t know about this.

I’m using firacode and VSCodeVim which has sped things up and improved my coding experience.

It’s nice that @authjs.dev has a Prisma adapter, but the docs are so opaque it took me forever debug the errors I was getting. Really would’ve helped to know what was going on under the hood.

What is some advice you wish you knew before starting your current project?

The Getting Started with AI Stack for JavaScript | Andreessen Horowitz A very simple “getting started with AI” template for those who want to play with core technologies, but not have to think too much about tooling.

a16z created an open source template for creating an AI project in JavaScript. It includes a lot of the boilerplate code and integration required.

It's a great, hands-on way to get to know how an AI stack works.

I’ve heard some buzz around Astro, I’ll have to check it out!

I’ve been building out some basic forms for my job. Next recommends using Server Actions to handle form inputs over the POST API. But SA are an alpha feature that require being in experimental mode.

I’m optimistic that it’s moving in the right direction. Next 13 feels kind of like it’s in beta - not all the features work as expected, but the fact that it’s backwards compatible solves a lot of those issues.

I think RSCs are the future.

This is awesome - thank you for putting this together!

What are your thoughts on NextJS 13 and the app directory?

🔥HOT TAKE: I prefer take-home interview assignments to algorithm challenges. I’d rather spend a day working on something realistic than spend an hour live coding tic-tac-toe.

wow this is actually amazing.

Nothing causes imposter syndrome more than someone using an acronym they expect you to know. That’s why I intentionally try to speak without acronyms. Not just for junior members but also for cross departmental people.

The internet went from static HTML sites with event listeners, to heavy JavaScript single page apps, back to static sites with event listeners.
