I don't' think the article is focused on the temperature itself but rather the rate of change. During the time period referenced the speed of temperature change was fastest.

Others here have already made good suggestions for books that focus more specifically on communication...which is what you were asking about. I wanted to share a book suggestion I found helpful regarding emotional intelligence (or emotiona

I prefer using Next. I've been using Remix at the day-job for about a year now. It's fine, but I still choose to use Next with all personal work. I'd also prefer to work with it professionally. My personal dev-blog starte

Have you ever checked out the old school amusement park Knoebels[1] that's about 20 minutes away? I highly recommend it. We lovingly refer to it as "Chernobyls" (not b/c of the park itself, but b/c it rhymes with

This looks great!! Hopefully you can answer a couple questions for me. You mention you're using TablePlus. Doesn't look like it has a free option. Can you recommend another similar database GUI tool so I can "code along&qu

Curious why you went with RadixUI over HeadlessUI? Not that you shouldn't, just wondering what your decision process was. I also noticed in `_app.tsx` that you wrapped <Component /> in a <main> element. Wouldn't

This might be off-topic...but you're saying these are devs with only 1-3 YOE, have a "don't care" attitude, and are employed at a MAANG company? I must really be naive b/c I thought it was only cream-of-the-crop th

I'm pretty sure that with the newer `create-react-app` version 2, it will use Yarn in your project if you have Yarn installed globally on your system. If you do, and you want to keep it there, but use npm in your created app, then add

Interesting. I see a lot of interest in woodworking/carpentry. Also read a surprising number of people talking about film. I started in film. Evolved into carpentry/metal fab. I'm now starting my career in programming.
