I like running, hacking, building web apps, networking, watching endurance documentaries, and doing headstands.

When you think you're good at commenting your code but then see some of Apple's open source stuff

For the past couple of months I’ve spent hours in the morning studying, reading, getting ready for my masters. Then would have a whole day of work.

Needless to say I’m excited for my first long holiday hiking in the Lake District starting tomorrow!

I just completed #CryptoZombies Lesson 2! My zombie ate some #CryptoKitties, and I learned more about #Ethereum development. Watch my zombie battle more CryptoKitties: https://t.co/fy56HA7kQY

Really enjoy reading The Short History of Nearly Everything by Bill Bryson. So much detail in a compact narrative. Curious to know just how much Bill had to remove in his earlier drafts in order to fit all this knowledge.

just occurred to me that a great way to boost engagement with a feature is to constantly pretend that it’s being removed tomorrow

30 days of #kaggle has begun and already I’m building models and using datasets. Great opportunity. #100DaysOfMLCode #MachineLearning

Really enjoyed this course. Learned a lot despite working with JavaScript for almost two years. More courses/books/workshops should be taught this way. Kudos @Mappletons and @dan_abramov. I hope to see more content like this. 🎉

Accidentally stumbled onto @Apple’s Maps Flyover feature. Wow that’s impressive; was really cool to see my childhood home rendered in detailed 3D on a phone.

This is a great quick blog post on understanding React composition. Thanks, @kentcdodds! https://t.co/mvsSYaJKdS

I just completed "Introduction to Node.js, v2" by @scotups on @FrontendMasters! Thanks a lot, Scott for the great refresher. https://t.co/uktwiDQHp1

@ASpittel Looks neat! Do you have a recommendation on a good blog post or tutorial to get started with serverless functions?

One of the best parts of working remote is the ability to do a 15 minute workout when I start getting stressed.

Interesting fact of the day:

[Oliver Jumpertz @oliverjumpertz]

Did you know that Math.max() < Math.min() in JavaScript?

It's a fun fact about the language that is periodically brought up, but do you know why this actually happens?

Let's take a quick look at Math.max and Math.min to understand the issue.

A thread.

@EddyVinckk Exercise! Stretching! Walks! Reading! Personal projects working with tech that inspires you!

[Alex @AlexKharouk]

@flaviocopes Do it.

[Alex @AlexKharouk]

@kvlly What should you do if the project/idea/unique selling point you’re working on has just been released/announced by a major company?
Do you still go ahead with it or is it back to the drawing board to find another startup idea?

"I have a good gist of what's going on with JavaScript, but I struggled to explain the basics, simply because I never looked inside the JavaScript engine."
