I used to have imposter syndrome. I still do, but I used to, too.

[Chris Mlinac ⚛ @ichbindev]

@dustatron Yep, that works. But doing it this way is technically more efficient for large strings (O(n) vs O(n^2)) and apparently that’s all that matters at FAANG.

#Ruby code of the day. I’m starting to get used to this, still just solving simple stuff though. Let me know if there’s anything more idiomatic I should be doing!

"You're underpaid/under-leveled because you didn't negotiate"

This is precisely why we continue to tell you that negotiation is an inequitable practice that upholds status quo.

Many of us don't have the ability to risk a job to get paid and leveled fairly.

And by that I mean it’s just some context-specific wrappers and closures around useContext.

Writing my first custom hook and loving it. It’s like Redux but without all the redux.

[Chris Mlinac ⚛ @ichbindev]

Writing my first Vue today, let's see how this goes.

Job Description: “Most importantly, you are passionate about playing a key role in the development of a revolutionary fleet of robots.”

Sure sounds like they want me to help robots take over the world.

Short and sweet.

Today’s German: Squirrel is Eichhörnchen. Eich is oak. Makes sense. So what’s Hörnchen?

Small optimization: Hash takes a parameter to use as a default value.

[Chris Mlinac ⚛ @ichbindev]

Always a classic.

Second #Ruby function in the books. I’m not sure which is more idiomatic between saying return result or just putting result at the end. Just putting a random variable as the last line of a function feels weird.

[Chris Mlinac ⚛ @ichbindev]

My first function in #Ruby. I’m sure I’ll look back on it and cringe but it’s a start!

[Chris Mlinac ⚛ @ichbindev]

#Ruby here we come. Any advice on a good place to start?

[Chris Mlinac ⚛ @ichbindev]

I have a ticket that lets me delete a bunch of awkward and hard to read business logic I wrote a few months ago. So hyped.

[Chris Mlinac ⚛ @ichbindev]

@CBielstein IT WORKS! Now I can spend the rest of today playing DDR, then put it away and never touch it again.

[Chris Mlinac ⚛ @ichbindev]

Spent a while splicing an old Xbox cord with a USB cord to connect a DDR pad to the PC. It’s been a while since I did any kind of hard mod on electronics.

[Chris Mlinac ⚛ @ichbindev]

@CBielstein Hey, if it works it works! I’m waiting on Amazon to deliver a new adapter that *hopefully* will work, putting my 2 hours of wire stripping and taping to no use. Apparently pressing up and down at the same time is a luxury.

[Chris Mlinac ⚛ @ichbindev]

I can’t even with these two.
