@nathan_covey Yet a product can grow to 7 figures with zero marketing 🤷‍♂️

What's stopping you from coding like this?

@neiltyson Voyager 1 is currently about 15 billion miles from Earth for some context.

@MarcelFromMimic I don’t have a portfolio as I’ve just left Cisco but plenty of Next.js/Tailwind experience if you wanna chat.

I’ve been on Dribbble since 2009, it was a great source of collaborative inspiration for years…

…but wow, their latest announcement? Massive own goal.

@shadcn Same, just rely on AI now.

Can we all admit that ‘pull-to-refresh’ was the last innovative UI pattern? Everything since feels like reinventing the wheel. Maybe it’s time we focus on performance over pretty pixels.

Freelancing makes you appreciate the little things, like clients who send clear requirements…

The best developers I know aren’t the ones who write the most code. They’re the ones who ask the best questions.

Tailwind (utility classes) vs traditional CSS!

Had this debate today, and it’s wild how hard it is to explain just how much utility classes level up front-end development, especially in component-based UIs and larger teams.

Do you use them? Love them? Hate them? Let’s hear it!

[Miles Wheeler-Smith @mwheelersmith]

CSS is easy. Just pick a font, set some colours, then spend three hours trying to vertically center something. 😅

Debugging async issues is like time travel: you know what should happen, but the past, present, and future keep interfering.

@hnshah Spot on. ‘Culture fit’ often reinforces biases, while ‘ways of working’ determines real success. I’ve seen great engineers struggle in one org but thrive in another, the work didn’t change, the environment did.
