I am a Minneapolis based digital engineer for Target working on Cartwheel. I do all things front end with a background in animation and design.

@CourtneyRules Omg, we do that too now

@ethaneisenhard @ASpittel @kentcdodds @ow @lesliecdubs @1Chenzo @EmmaWedekind I usually review the diff on the code review, but then look at the actual larger component/page/context to look at how the whole is making sense. Super important step IMO.

I am currently refactoring the worst code I’ve seen in years. Scratch that... rewriting.

[Bob Cahill @cahillim]

@HugoGiraudel So true. I do a lot of interviewing and rarely do front end candidates understand anything about HTML, accessibility, SEO, or document outlines. Even things like ‘can you put an H1 tag in a span tag?’, ‘can you explain the differences between article, header, footer?’

I’m beginning a code style guide for front end development for my team. The purpose is to reference in code reviews. Any advise or resources? Google search is showing me all dated things.

@sarah_edo Email is solvable only if all email providers decide to force their platforms to be evergreen. Otherwise it is the last holdout of success = knowing hacks. And the ones that don’t disappear very fast. Too many companies rely on it for communicating to their customers.

@sarah_edo I’m going to put this at the top of my teams code review standards/checklist. Yeah!

[Bob Cahill @cahillim]

@fvsch This is absolutely true.

@SaraSoueidan How to deal with not yet fully adopted css features, like width: fit-content even with prefixes doesn’t work in some places. So don’t use it? Or progressive enhancement or feature detection? I avoid if caniuse shows me red on supported browsers.

@EmmaWedekind What is the worst thing that has happened to an application/website that you were in some way responsible for? Then how did you deal with it.

[Bob Cahill @cahillim]

@seldo @getify An iOS engineer I work with says JavaScript isn’t a real programming language like Objective-C or Swift. I think that way of thinking is dangerous for his future.

[Bob Cahill @cahillim]

@brad_frost Ah, and testers too. Using an evergreen Chrome on the latest OSX is used end to end too often. This is great.

[Bob Cahill @cahillim]

I think copy and pasting FAQs from a word document into HTML is my least favorite thing, except for copy editing said FAQs after they are in code.

@necolas I still float and clear when I work on applications that need to work everywhere, but love flex box when I don’t care.

[Bob Cahill @cahillim]

@sarah_edo My first impression in using with a production level application was that it was a pain, BUT very quickly saw that it caught a few bugs and now in the flow of it, love it.

Just inherited an Angularjs 1.x site. I forgot about how rediculous directives are / were. And it's been a while since es5 and no typescript

[Bob Cahill @cahillim]

@angustweets Sure ruined my day today. So dumb.
