@taylorotwell Amazing add - did you think at all about closure based context as part of this (context that's relevant for anything executed within a third closure arg?)

[Alex Babkov @alxbabkov]

@taylorotwell Personally love the config files for how expressive they are, the clarity of available options and how they're namespaced. Often also end up hard coding specific values in the config files that aren't secret and don't change environment to environment to try keep the env light.

@johncutlefish @IamHenrikM I was going to ask if you intentionally phrased the question that way deliberately to evoke a particular response. Dig into the outcomes being sought - coming from head of product probably has to do with being better able to enable pms and design to create insights for teams.

[Andrew Clark @acdlite]

On GitHub, I wish you could review parts of the code that haven't changed.

Maybe this was an intentional product choice, the idea being that unchanged lines aren't relevant to the PR.

But sometimes they are relevant precisely because they *should* have changed.

[Devon Govett @devongovett]

“Handoff” is perhaps the worst term in our industry at the moment. It implies that design and development are completely separate and that design can be “done”.

Design and development are really a single collaborative process. Our tools need to unify to reflect that!

Nobody learns how to write good software without writing lots lots of bad software first. Don't let fear that your code will suck paralyze you.

@assertchris You could try shorter sprint cycles - 2 weeks or even one (one is a bit ouch) which will give you faster feedback loops.

[Alex Babkov @alxbabkov]

@assertchris Mood and health is def relevant - standups should be check-ins with regards to progress, blockers, collab needed on sprint goal - individual deliverables are much less important than the goal itself.

Inexplicable moments you’ll never forget as a founder:

The first time you...

- see people having a meeting you didn’t know about
- pass two employees walking somewhere and realize they’re talking about their work
- see a feature live that you didn’t know about.

What a job.

@dan_abramov Not sure what this means, but it would have been better as a poem. Like this:

[Senior Oops Engineer @ReinH]

Do any of you also do this ADHD thing where you stop paying attention to something you're listening to / watching, realize, rewind it to catch up, then tune out *again* while it's playing the bit you already heard, and repeat this about 10 times?

[Alex Babkov @alxbabkov]

@loklaan @reactbris @theharold9000 Haha did you just backhand yourself @loklaan

[Alex Babkov @alxbabkov]

@bonfues @_ericelliott @foreachdev I'm not sure he's attacking ppl without this knowledge... but when you do know these things (outside of the context of interviews) problems become a lot easier to solve. As a "senior Js developer" a deep understanding of the language and diff paradigms is v valuable.

@brian_d_vaughn @DaveGomez If you look at chrome Dev tools (in particular mem profiling), the problem with conf talks is that small changes to the tools over time leave the talks out of date - I'd say same holds true here. No docs = no viable alternatives for info... But, to be fair, docs are hard

After you turn 30 the “walk of shame” becomes showing up at Home Depot 30 minutes after you were just there.

@mathias @LinguaBrowse @addyosmani @mathias I know you said you're still working on changes so there are no docs - anywhere we can look for change logs or rough pre-release docs? We're working through some detached iframe retention issues so have noisy heap dumps and are struggling w loss of highlighting atm

[Alex Babkov @alxbabkov]

@mathias @LinguaBrowse @addyosmani This has been confusing me for sooo many weeks now. The official dev tool docs are really out of date and all the articles i've found reference highlighting to help isolate leaks - thank you for this tweet!

@GooglePlayDev how long does it take for your policy team to reply to these forms - https://t.co/Enr6mmf44u?
