8 ways to measure success:
1. Contribution
2. Connection
3. Contentment
4. Autonomy
5. Health
6. Wealth
7. Happiness
8. Consumption (house, car, etc)
The trap: #8 is a common way to measure success. But it’s the least relevant.
Look at 1-7. Success is often invisible.

2. Convert type definition to propTypes
Takeaway: TS requires little extra code.

Improving your life is not complicated, you just repeat small, simple behaviors over a long period of time.
- Sleep
- Exercise
- Don’t eat garbage
- Talk to a friend
- Be productive for a few hours
- Repeat every day for years and years
It's simple. Not easy.
Years later, I was working in Knockout. I wanted to work in React the moment it was open sourced. So I learned it at home. Then, I convinced my boss to let us use it on a project.
Summary: I control where I’m headed, not my job. My career trajectory is my responsibility.

@pixelcrowngames@gacrivastudio Oh well that's correct. No errors. Just missing semi colon (if it is still matter, yet if you use eslint it shouldnt be a problem) and unused variable Hi and sayHi (as we never call the function)
I set up #Holiday plan in the corner of my whiteboard to keep the spirit. Sometimes when I feel stuck on 1 #bug, I would check new destination and plan the holiday. But plan stay as a plan 😬 #programminglife
