I didn’t learn programming from college, bootcamp, or courses. I used roadmap.sh and taught myself by researching each topic, practicing in VSCode, and explaining things out loud. If you're struggling, it’s not you. You might just be using the wrong learning style.

Never in my entire life would I ever think my dream would come true to experience Harry Potter in real life. #WBTourLondon made my dream a reality.

Ran into Request is not defined errors testing Supabase API routes in Next.js with Jest (jsdom env). Turns out NextRequest needs a Node environment. 💡 Just add the comment I show in the photo at the top of your test file — no config changes needed!

Tested the same .md hero section prompt on two AIs—one old, one new. The new one nailed it with just one prompt (and only two “You still did nothing” nudges 😅). Safe to say I’m switching. #AI #AIDesign #WebDesign #PromptEngineering

After listening to @DThompsonDev and @leonnoel's podcast episode, I want to echo what they talked about: "Invest in yourself." Your dream job might not come today, but it’s not out of reach. Keep grinding, keep learning, and trust the process.

If I wanted to host a developer meetup in Austin, TX, where would you recommend hosting it? Any companies willing to sponsor office space for these monthly meet ups?

If you started from the very beginning of software engineering with no knowledge and no network. What frontend frameworks would you learn and what learning route would you take? (college, bootcamp, self-taught, etc)

Are you hiring Junior Frontend Engineers? I know of a few that would be fantastic candidates. I have personally mentored them and put them through a vigorous corporate agile process. Skills learned were team communication, not over doing the work if it's not part of the task,…

As a Developer, I have a horrible lower back! After 15+ years of hunching my back, I now have a herniated disc. There wasn't a plan to be precautionary and take care of my back because I was active, played sports, and exercised. Not until I went up for a routine volleyball spike,…
