@Arlieth According to this article, it's because the Thai government sponsors the restaurants to increase tourism to Thailand https://t.co/Pip4SralwE

@quazirfan @Actualize All the code in each lesson is linked under each video, you may need to scroll down to see the links!

[Peter Jang @peterxjang]

@quazirfan @Actualize That's exactly the goal - each course will be designed around building the same application, to directly compare/contrast how to build the same type of features using these different approaches!

@quazirfan @Actualize Sure thing! Just made a new years discount for 50% off using the coupon code NEWYEARS2022, it expires at the end of February.

We'll also be releasing similar courses for Vue.js and React in the coming months, so stay tuned for that!

@fitzgerald1337 You're welcome, hope you have fun with it!

@vponamariov Autonomy is a good lens for this - a junior dev needs guidance to complete tasks, a middle dev can complete tasks on their own, a senior dev can identify which tasks should or should not be completed

[Peter Jang @peterxjang]

@rsms https://t.co/BQ9SSTeuOz was released relatively recently, basically a naked PCB with low profile switches so it can't get much thinner. Requires soldering though, I don't know of any pre-built keyboards that meet your requirements...

[Peter Jang @peterxjang]

@vponamariov @JasonSwett I think by this definition, a senior dev is someone who can decide what are the right tasks to work on in the first place

[Peter Jang @peterxjang]

@vponamariov Agreed, although I just heard an interesting definition on @JasonSwett 's podcast - a middle dev should be able to complete a task without a lot of hand holding. Not a perfect definition but way more clear than most https://t.co/DsxsYAAeCI

[🔎Julia Evans🔍 @b0rk]

we think about debugging as a technical skill (and it absolutely is!!) but a huge amount of it is managing your feelings so you don't get discouraged and being self-aware so you can recognize your incorrect assumptions

[Peter Jang @peterxjang]

Listen to radio stations from around the world with https://t.co/0vmSttKCHx from @StudioPuckey - it's a beautiful app where you can spend hours exploring the globe. Give it a shot, I guarantee it'll put a smile on your face!

Why do we teach history forwards? The beginning is boring until you connect it to now.
Start from now: From BLM to the civil rights movement. Why? Jim Crow. Why? The Civil War. why? ...

[Peter Jang @peterxjang]

Just published a new blog post, going deeper into the rabbit hole of weird custom keyboards...

[Peter Jang @peterxjang]

@meganmorrone If you think that's crazy, you should check out the keyboards at https://t.co/Bn8QWZSGHM!

[Peter Jang @peterxjang]

Just published an article on how to get started in the world of ortholinear keyboards!

Throwback music player by @panic with user-designed skins, a nostalgic reminder that computers used to be a lot more whimsical and fun, at least from a customization standpoint!

[Panic @panic]

🎵 Here's a fun little thing! Over on the Panic Blog, Michael has reconstructed a basic Audion player for modern macOS, just so you can try and enjoy the many wonderful faces that people designed for it.

Also, in a time where every website uses the same blandly minimal aesthetic, @css's website design is refreshingly whimsical.

It's difficult to do well, but here's to hoping we see more design diversity like this in 2021!

[Peter Jang @peterxjang]

Perfect end-of-year reflection from @css: "We asked web builders that we admire the same question: What is one thing you learned about building websites this year?"
