Software engineering fundamentals are more important now than ever. I don't care what any influencer or CTO has said.

Good fundamentals means you can direct AI to write more productive code for you.

Bad fundamentals means your AI-written code will be a liability.

[Prof. Carl Sagan @ProfCarlSagan]

In 1990, as Voyager 1 was leaving the solar system, Sagan fought a long internal battle at NASA to turn the cameras around one last time to photograph Earth. Many engineers opposed it, fearing it might damage the cameras or waste time.

But Sagan’s successful effort resulted in the "Pale Blue Dot" image. He used this tiny, 0.12-pixel speck of Earth to write his famous reflection on how "every human being who ever was" lived on that "mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam".

[Paul Graham @paulg]

It's so much more interesting focusing on things that are unfashionable, undervalued, overlooked. And there are so many of them! People are great at overlooking.

[Ryan Holiday @RyanHoliday]

The purpose of knowledge is action.

[Peter H. Diamandis, MD @PeterDiamandis]

If you wait until something is obvious, you are already too late.

[Prof. Feynman @ProfFeynman]

The imagination of nature is far, far greater than the imagination of man.

[Paul Graham @paulg]

If you're inexperienced, don't try to pretend you're not. It will fool no one and make you look ridiculous. Instead just be openly curious. This will seem natural instead of awkward, and you'll learn a lot more.

This iconic photograph is still considered one of the most-terrifying space photographs to date. Astronaut Bruce McCandless II became the first human being to do a spacewalk without a safety tether linked to a spacecraft. In 1984, he floated completely untethered in space with nothing but his Manned Maneuvering Unit keeping him alive.

Are you curious about LangChain or LangGraph? This recent video by one of their engineers provides a clear, high-level introduction that explains their use cases. https://t.co/Ry6ZcXSVJD

@chrisains Unfortunately, I haven't worked with this library in a few years now. I no longer work at the organisation that owns the Github account, so I cannot maintain the code anymore. I suggest you fork it and make the necessary fixes yourself by reading the docs https://t.co/bWHhDdz82G

@buildsghost Guilty as charged. I wanted to use this logo.

@shl How do I know I'm the smartest tho?

[Jorge A. Borges @jorgeborgesc]

While the SOLID principles are valuable for designing object-oriented software, I've found the IDEALS principles explained in this article to be an excellent guideline that I keep revisiting for microservice architecture 👍

I've been doing lately @kentcdodds course on React Performance, truly a goldmine of good advice!🌟

For example, it explains how to measure and optimize your JS, so it doesn't block the browser's main thread for too long, breaking the smooth 60 frames a second user experience.

When things get crazy,
make sure you don’t.

[Picard Tips @PicardTips]

Picard management tip: The truth is that sometimes you just won't know the right thing to do. You still have to try.
