@dan_abramov That was one of the biggest bummers of Reactiflux moving to discord. I think this is a great post, except I think a more effective presentation would be to how to make someone a more effective contributor

[Harry Hedger @harry_hedger]

@dan_abramov What let me know that there was a need for doc contributors in the first place was your participation in the #redux channel of the Slack Reactiflux group. Having that kind of contact with you was a force multiplier for people to contribute

@mscccc @swyx Don't just pay them as much as a new hire, pay them a little more than they can get anywhere else. That'd make me feel appreciated and stick around longer.

@duane_moody @wizardcloud @bernam92 @acemarke 👍

@duane_moody @wizardcloud @bernam92 @acemarke If there is no other option, then so be it, but 99% of the time it makes no sense to diy

@tannerlinsley I think I'd call somebody a tryhard if they used generics in a straight forward application. CRA has a Typescript option. Once you learn how to work with React and other libraries it gets pretty straightforward.

@micahgodbolt I learned about them when someone made an alternative react-redux binding that used proxies to track which pieces of state a component was using.

@electra_chong @KatieFujihara @rhyannonjoy Glad it didn't turn you away from programming forever!

[Harry Hedger @harry_hedger]

@KatieFujihara @rhyannonjoy When I was starting out, I felt like an imposter for being financially motivated, when some of my peers were all "i love to code, if I rich I'd still code."

Funny enough, one of them actually hates coding now and doesn't even want to do it for work.

@Facebook For some reason, I can't get the "See Translation" button to show on posts, despite my settings being correct based on your help docs.

It's been this way for a few years on both web and mobile. Something seems weird with my account, which is very old, if that matters.

@ScottWRobinson @Shpigford You can get health insurance through Justworks as part of their group. Their fee is $100/month per employee, but you can run your payroll, HR, etc. through them.

@iamspecialized Any word on when these will be back in stock?

[Harry Hedger @harry_hedger]

@jamonholmgren More importantly, how do you center things in Flutter?

[Harry Hedger @harry_hedger]

@ClayDowling @BlueGoesMew @dabit3 I once spent ~20 hours trying to figure out why a minimal C++/CUDA project wouldn't compile for a school project. It made no sense. Finally, I tried compiling it on a Linux box, and it worked fine. Failed horribly on OSX for some reason.. 🤦‍♂️

@jayphelps @getDanArias Just read this and see what you're getting at. Team Centering Question. :P

[Harry Hedger @harry_hedger]

@jayphelps @roach_iam I haven't been in a situation where CSS was important enough to ask specific questions to a senior FE, honestly. Asking how they feel about CSS tells me if they're in the "I don't like doing CSS"/"Idk how to CSS" camp or not.

[Harry Hedger @harry_hedger]

@jayphelps @roach_iam Which part? The design implementation, or asking if they're any good at CSS? :P I like talking about interview methods! I also haven't had great luck with things like take-home projects, so I feel you.

[Harry Hedger @harry_hedger]

@jayphelps @roach_iam I feel like I can get the same read as the centering question by just asking something like, "are you any good at CSS?" The centering Q is such a low bar that it'd raise flags if they failed it, but most people would probably pass it, esp if they study before interviews.

[Harry Hedger @harry_hedger]

@jayphelps @roach_iam If you're really concerned about their CSS, the benefits of this are you could give them harder problems like abso positioning something between two sections, and see if they implement things to spec or are sloppy. You could also set this up in ways that are minimal effort.
