Remembering the time a CEO told me to fix login taking 20s on an app. He said it was a front end issue.
We isolated the problem to the backend, we fixed it and login now took 2s. We had the graphs, the PRs, the report, everything.
He insisted it was still a front end issue.

Netlify announced a company-wide restructure last week and my role was impacted.
As a result, I’m excited to be looking for my next role as a Developer Experience Engineer.
Here are 5 reasons why you should hire me.
Please share with your networks!

I wrote loads of code, including tests (lol), for two hours, without running the app, and it worked first time.
I'll never come down from this high.

Just setting up a fresh MacBook Pro.
Kinda feel like not replicating my old dev environment (of the last, like, 6 years) and branching out.
So far I have just installed Arc Browser and Raycast.
What tools do you recommend?

I’M OBVIOUSLY NOT SAYING BUILD EVERY SINGLE WEBSITE USING ONLY HTML FOREVER BUT IT IS ACTUALLY ALL YOU NEED TO GET A WEBSITE ONLINE AND I DON’T UNDERSTAND WHY YOU CAN’T HAVE EMPATHY FOR BEGINNERS AND THE HURDLES THAT JS AND CSS PUT IN PEOPLE’S WAY WHEN THEY ARE JUST STARTING OUT

Asking “How do I get started with web dev?” is like asking “How do I get started with cooking?”
Decide what you want to make. And then reframe the question.
“How do I make lasagne?” or “How might I build a blog?” is more straightforward to answer — and you’ll get better help.

Still thinking of the moment someone came into my stream yesterday, saw me updating the DOM using plain JavaScript for a basic proof of concept, and asked me why I wasn't using a state management library.

There’s a difference between coding and building!
If you’re studying data structures & grinding leet code for hours a day, you might be coding, but you’re certainly not building.
Coding skills are over-indexed in interviews, but it’s the builders that make a successful product.

Literally didn't understand caching before this. Understand it more now. Great explanation as ever. Ben is cool.
With serverless on the rise, cache is king 💰
To speed up responses and cut down on your server biil, let's walk through Cache-Control headers that'll fine-tune *how* and *where* cache is stored!

Today I shipped a website on stream that is a bit silly and pointless. But here's the thing — it helped people learn about:
• prefers-color-scheme
• prefers-reduced motion
• colour contrast for a11y
• building sites without frameworks
• how 100% FUN web dev is!

If you're using nvm to switch between node versions, you might run into an issue where the "wrong" node version is loaded on launch of a new terminal window, and your usual package commands don't work.
Set the default node version via nvm with:
`nvm alias default {VERSION}`

When I start a new job I like to change up my office space so it feels fresh. This corner used to have a built in desk that I inherited with the house.
I ripped it out, tidied up the walls and created a lovely cosy corner. Here’s where I’ll take my meetings from now on!

A TikTok embed on my blog was bothering me.
On page load, it downloaded over 3MB of JavaScript, despite the TikTok Embed being at the bottom of the page.
Lighthouse perf: 51 🚫

I'm becoming more and more convinced that ruthless competition in the front end JS space is ruining productivity and DX for developers.
I wasted >1 hour debugging last night, all because a very specific feature in a specific framework, didn't work on a specific hosting platform.

DevRel roles are getting eliminated all over the place.
Makes me _really_ wonder whether I should side-step out of it for safety reasons on this new job hunt.
But I just love the variety of the role so much.
I’m torn, but uncertainty is my nemesis.

Just saw a DevRel job posting requiring applications to have 5k+ social platform followers. 🫠
There are many, MANY ways to be effective in DevRel without that type of following. After all, this role is not centred on the individual, but around the community it serves.

I DID IT 👀
Recently,
@whitep4nth3r
improved *all* her homepage Core Web Vitals by focusing on improving just one metric: Time to First Byte (TTFB).
All it took was two small changes to how data is fetched to reduce the p75 TTFB from 3.46s to just 704ms.

2023 is the year I embraced finding hobbies and not making my job consume my whole life, and honestly it’s the happiest and most balanced and fulfilled I’ve ever felt. Ever.
My only regret is that I did it ten years too late.
Find hobbies, have fun.

2023 was a year.
My dad passed, both cats died, I lost my job (and got a new one). I didn’t stream as much as I wanted + didn’t hit the arbitrary goals I set.
But you kept coming back, and new people found me, and for that I am so grateful 💜
The numbers don’t really matter.

I just discovered that WebP preserves animated frames in GIF images!
This GIF converted to WebP reduces the file size by 87% from 1.2Mb to just 167kb. (Look at the file types in the network tab!)
Does this mean an end to hugely lossy GIF compression or am I missing something?
