The adapter works great with the Shure SE846 IEMs. I’d rather use the speakers than die on the no adapter hill.

It’s just focusing on the moment, not something to really master the art and craft of cleaning dishes. Dishes is just an example activity that many might find venal, but is an opportunity to practice mindfulness

I very specifically stopped targeting “buyers” in favor of individuals. The buyers want us to develop “whips & dashboards” Lucrative! Not what we want to build. That’s one of my favorite aspects of being self-funded and profitable.

The egghead Redux series has been very popular and useful for users. We’d love to talk about how we can compliment this documentation revamping with updated/new free resources. joel@egghead.io

We use MobX as a dependency injector, and it’s been great. Scales up very well and is fairly simple to get people up to speed when they drop into our project. Redux was a “wtf” as it grew in our app and was a real struggle to back out of.

So far none of my kids have really cared about coding at all. We’ve got python books, js books, ruby books, scratch, Lego Mindstorms, arduinos... they aren’t interested. Definitely wouldn’t pick it up unless prompted. We home educate, so th

I don’t have a lot of parenting regrets but spanking my kids is one of them. Fear is definitely a solid deterrent though, no doubt.

I got the X because I like the screen to size ratio and my purchased media is resting on Apple’s markets. A few hundred bucks either way is inconsequential. Style-wise, they aren’t visibly much different than the last several generations of

I started my programming career at 35. I’ve had many great mentors. Many of them much younger than myself. I’ve also paid professionals for mentorship for both programming and business. For the most part people want to help those that

React is excellent. I've been building UIs for 20 years and it is by far the best development experience I've ever had. Watch out for contrarians and purist wonks. Set aside your preconceptions and bias against new things you don&

Your age is an advantage, assuming you've been a working professional of some sort. The mechanics of learning to code simply takes determination and hard work. In my experience, the vocabulary is the first major hurdle. By the time you

I've used Behance and Dribbble with some success. I took the approach of hiring several designers for the same small project. It isn't the cheapest approach, as I paid market rates, but it gave a baseline for comparison, was total

I've invoiced 5-figures a day for short term gigs repeatedly. Many times to repeat customers. This is actually a result of Patrick's "charge more" mantra. Confidence in the value provided and delivering on the value.
