Why did I join #100devs? Accountability! Learning from great engineers. Framework for an amazing community Learning To Learn: Process > Determination && Absolute Effort Networking: Coding looks like a loner experience but to be successful it's a social experience

Slow is smooth, smooth is fast.

Vibe coding is 100x more powerful when used by a professional software engineer than by a novice.

In SWE slow wins the race. You can try fight this but the come down is brutal. You will eventually get fast but you'll need to go slow and deep first.

Working with AI be like : "I need this." AI: "Copy pasted answer about general information around this topic." "That's not what I asked for." "Oops sorry. Here's what you're ACTUALLY Lookingn for." "Repeat X number of times."

The best way to network isn't to have virtual coffee chats(although this helps a lot). Find a collaboration project you're passionate about with a team of developers.

If you build it, they will come.

TIL about process.memoryUsage() in Node.js. Handy for quick sanity checks when you don’t want to reach for a profiler.

For the Cursor AI users out there also using some form of Vim. How did you reconcile them?

Sharpen your saw.

Me having a shitty day. My best: "Dude. We're living in a simulation. Enjoy your life. Nothing matters." 😂

Today is my first day at Neon! 🎉 I am joining as a Senior Developer Advocate, focusing on in-person events in the SF Bay Area. Super excited to grow into this new role, work with an incredible and passionate team, and build for the tech community! Meetups are so back! 🔥

Professional athletes spend 90% of there time focusing on the basics.

Private victories are the most profound ones.

Got a full stack software engineer job in the worst job market ever in 2024. It’s possible guys. Here’s what I did differently: DMd/direct emailed hiring managers vs clicked apply, made projects tailored to the job, and held boundaries with employers and stuck with them #100Devs

Did a thing I would have never thought possible just 3 years ago working for barely over minimum wage. I bought my first house! My son and I were in a 1 bedroom all his life. Now we have our own home. Would not be here if it wasn’t for @leonnoel and #100devs

"There is nothing more humbling than an awareness of death. Death is the opponent that every single one of us will lose to. It's not a pretty fact, but once you get it through your head you begin to live more honestly."

I'm proud to host @ArisvdZ & Srgjan from @catawiki for the next @torontojs Online tech talk installment!

Discipline > Consistency >Impact > Quantity

Pareto principling the shit out of SWE.
