We're all the product and the user on these social platforms, so I made this "Social Sponsored Ads blocker" chrome extension that aims to dynamically remove all "in content" ads from Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, and Reddit. Let's take some power back. ✊🏽 https://t.co/ZngQtm5pmb

Here's the difference between amateurs and pros:

My friend is a wood worker. He noticed multiple problems with my cabinets.

🚫 Cheap hinges
🚫 Low quality wood
🚫 Poorly applied stain

My reply? “Seems fine.”

If he looked at my software, he’d say “seems fine.” too.

The point: A pro rarely looks at someone’s work and says “Looks good”.

A pro sees the tradeoffs, mistakes, and compromises.

Knicks hold the Cavs to just 79 points.

That’s the fewest points scored in any game by any team this entire season.

Tonight is also the first time the Cavs have lost by 20+ points this season.

Apparently React frameworks invented submitting forms.

much easier to fall into this trap at startups sometimes due to timing, but docs are even more critical for teams that are growing quickly

keep the long term focus, invest in the future

[Sarah Drasner @sarah_edo]

For the thousandth time, docs are critical.

What we build is perceived through the lens of our documentation.

They should not be an afterthought or uninvested in.

this plugin for @vercel's https://t.co/L7zwMn8BQy is more satisfying than anticipated 🤔

A pet theory of mine is you learn more about a programmer from how they review code than from how they write it. Code review should be part of interviews.

idk if this goes anywhere / would be a labor of love / a lot of work to get right, BUT just bought the domain https://t.co/7kiz64jfyk 😛

the knicks-verse is super fractured right now...for various reasons lol but I mean specifically by platform (twitter, reddit, youtube, etc), and each with it's own set of passionate fans.

What if there was an app built specifically for knicks fans? 🧐

even if you're right / speaking factually, how you say things can be as important as the content, especially when wanting to convince others or sharing feedback
