Check out @OpherV as he takes a break from fixing his mom's computer to talk about implementing complex #animation systems at @ReactNext

[Opher Vishnia @Opherv]

Excited to share my new series - #UIMath
I'm going to show & explain the math that makes #userinterface work! 😄 We're starting off with LERP and how to use it to calculate progress bars. In the future we'll get to more complex stuff. What would you like me to cover next? ⚙➗

@YGLC_conf @YGLF_IL @Rich_Harris @sveltejs @Una @dsternlicht @mweststrate 4 eko devs attended that fateful talk which resulted in us Svelting up many parts of the @ekovideo tech stack!

Watch @OpherV build a multiplayer game with @trostcodes using @PixiJS & @Firebase in front of a live audience on @FrontendHorse’s #ComponentCarousel. Each participant got to play with their own procedurally generated monster! 👾

#Hasoub is an NGO paving the way for the next generation of Arabs in #tech & we were so proud to sponsor their 2021 conference, “The Change from Within”. Our @OpherV shared how junior #devs can lift themselves & kickstart their careers in his talk “Go out there and Rock🤟”

Video is everywhere, but our CTO @hofshy has a face for radio, so he went on @barvazg to talk about how we’re making it just as fun and interactive as other interfaces.
An interesting discussion (in Hebrew) about tech and the people who make it happen.

Most importantly, keep your old dev PC around at least for a couple of weeks before turning it back in. There’s bound to be something else you’ll need from it (even if it’s just a sense of nostalgia).

Switching to a new laptop? Maybe a fancy MacBook Pro M1 Max from work? We got you covered. Here's all the stuff every developer needs to copy over but always forgets to:

Downloads folder: 99% of it is email attachments, memes, executables, old drivers, and other assorted, unsorted trash. The other 1% is probably important and let’s be honest, you’re never going to sort it anyhow, so might as well migrate all of your junk with you now.

Speaking of things that kinda are and kinda aren't Tetris did you check out iFramily yet?

Handling technical debt is a lot like playing Tetris. Or gardening. Or cooking. (and also like none of those things). Great post by @shaiyallin

[Shai Yallin @shaiyallin]

Software engineering is like nothing else we ever did before. Which is why all metaphors we use trying to make its problems understandable to non-engineers are doomed to fail. I wrote a short post attempting to do that anyway: https://t.co/yPzJO4p1bG

Suddenly autoexec.bat means something completely different...

Ok, so we have to wonder - the IT that has to maintain all these computer systems...are they a ⬜, 🔺 or a ⭕? How do the staff even open support requests if they can't talk to each other? Do they have a Squid Slack?

[eko Engineering @EkoEngi]

We know where we’ll be at 2pm EST tomorrow (9pm in Israel)…join us and watch eko dev @OpherV live on @FrontendHorse!

@vaidehijoshi We don't do that at all as a principle when we interview. If both candidate & interviewer can just google/memorize an answer, then it's just an empty ritual that doesn't predict whether someone's a good dev. def not useful for screening & frankly a bad use of both's precious time
