@adekunleoduye Loved your Gatsby video about building a design system. However, when I cloned the design-system-starter from your github, I couldn't get the project to run. Any advice?

@DThompsonDev What makes good documentation?

[Jonathan Butler @jonathanbutler7]

@catalinmpit This is great advice. It’s not easy to do, but I’ve learned that if I can phrase my question in this way, I am very close to a solution already.

@RandallKanna just landed my first job as a jr dev and want tips/advice on how to set myself up to become a sr dev over the next few years. Does the standout developer address this? Or is it more focused on landing the job?

[Jonathan Butler @jonathanbutler7]

@drbr153 It’s very tricky. The css one is similar in “difficulty.” Agree that they are not good indicators of skill.

@DevSimplified been working on writing frontend tests in React lately and ran into an issue with an undefined error when testing components that rely on useContext. Would love to see a video on how to incorporate useReducer, useContext, and unit tests. Thoughts?

Today I started my job search in earnest by writing and designing a cover letter template to match my resume, reaching out to a few contacts, studying algorithms and now I have so many tabs open with jobs. #100DaysOfJobSearch

@DThompsonDev Hey @DThompsonDev, any thoughts on mine? https://t.co/opc2pBv9xh

@DThompsonDev
Just did a LinkedIn revamp based on one of your videos! Wanna hit me up with some criticism? I'll bet five bucks you've never seen a cellist/coder's LinkedIn before ;) https://t.co/opc2pBv9xh

@catalinmpit For what it’s worth, based on reading your tweets, I never knew English was your second language!

Today I took the day off from coding...didn't even realize it was my 100th day of #100DaysOfCode until just now. 🥳🥳🥳

[Jonathan Butler @jonathanbutler7]

Yesterday I worked more on the mobile design and also went back and worked on a search bar feature in a different project. Day 99 of #100DaysOfCode

[Jonathan Butler @jonathanbutler7]

Today I implemented a mobile design from the UX team. Day 98 of #100DaysOfCode

[Jonathan Butler @jonathanbutler7]

Today I converted a class component to a functional component. It had some pretty complex stateful logic so it was really informative. Day 97 of #100DaysOfCode

[Jonathan Butler @jonathanbutler7]

Today I learned about <Fragment> in React which solved my issue of needing to add a key prop to a <> that I couldn’t change into a <div> for a few reasons. I love when solutions are that simple! I also used react-bootstrap for an accordion effect. Day 96 of #100DaysOfCode

[Jonathan Butler @jonathanbutler7]

Days 91-95 were filled with either meetings or beach days, and not much coding, aside from looking into the useEffect hook in React. Days 91-95 of #100DaysOfCode

[Jonathan Butler @jonathanbutler7]

Yesterday I finally solved the issue of connecting to the payment service. But I also encountered another complicated issue of making getting my page to wait to render until an API call is finished. Day 91 of #100DaysOfCode

[Jonathan Butler @jonathanbutler7]

@DThompsonDev I love when people are more prone to ask a question than give an answer

[Jonathan Butler @jonathanbutler7]

Today I logged my fourth day of struggling with getting the payment service wired up. I've tried so many different ways of doing, that it's hard to know if it will work, which is frustrating, but I will keep trying. Day 90 of #100DaysOfCode
