You just need 4 things to learn coding: - An internet connection - Willingness to learn - A laptop - Time If you have those, nothing can stop you from becoming a developer πŸ”₯

for years ive been hearing β€œswitch to iPhone, everything just works and the polish is great!” so I gave it a try.. and this is how my phone looks now. Keyboard keys lost icons, my todo app navigation is inaccessible, and Mission Control looks absurd. How do y’all live like this

My only (brief) experience with PHP was in Wordpress. But the Laravel ecosystem and community seems so awesome that I'm tempted to dive in... Is it the right choice if I just wanna build some cool stuff πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ?

I spent most of today dealing with linting and TypeScript issues in my code at work. I could basically hear @levelsio laughing as he shipped 4 features in the meantime

https://t.co/oG1l3OYxYM https://t.co/rgHeMRUBXS https://t.co/D0AuFdMmWA There's nothing wrong with accepting payment to promote a service. But to wrongfully market it as free when it's actually a paid service, AND to not disclose that you're doing a paid promotion, is not okay.

A professional photo is essential on LinkedIn. But a photographer will cost you $1500. I will show you how for FREE. [Thread] 🧡

I've seen 3 basically identical threads today promoting an AI service. They all claim the service to be free, when it's actually not. I'm guessing the posts are sponsored, but none of the posters disclose it as such. Links:

Yes, all the new AI stuff is cool. And yes, it will change how we work. But damn I'm tired of the "these 8 prompts will 10x your productivity and change your life" posts.

Jam allows the user to take screenshots (with annotations) to make it even more clear exactly where the problem is occuring. They also support Instant Replay, where the user can submit a video that automatically recorded the steps leading up to the bug.

Luckily, the smart folks over at Jam have created an awesome Chrome extension to easily report bugs in seconds. Complete with network / console history, URL where the bug occured, browser / device info and much more. Basically everything you need to find + fix those pesky bugs!

When this happens, you have to ask them for step-by-step instructions, device type, browser version etc... a total headache. And even then there's no guarantee you'll be able to reproduce the problem.

All code has bugs. The problem is that to fix these bugs, you need to know *exactly* how to reproduce them. There's nothing worse than getting notified by a user, client or stakeholder about a particular bug that you can't recreate yourself. 🧡 on avoiding this below πŸ‘‡

In case you haven't noticed, I've stopped being active on Twitter πŸ˜… I realized I just don't have the same fun and energy on here compared to LinkedIn and my newsletter. So if you're still keen to keep up with my content, links are in the next tweet - no hard feelings if not ✌

There's really only two steps you need to follow to write good code: 1. Write lots of bad code 2. Get feedback on that code By writing bad code, you'll run into problems. And solving those problems will generally lead to good (or at least better) code.

Fair disclaimer: This is a paid promotion. But I honestly think Jam is an awesome product that I will definitely be using myself. Being able to reproduce bugs is the first step to fixing them - and Jam makes that as easy as possible πŸ™Œ Learn more at
