Group or peer programming is really exhausting especially when you’re the one in the driver seat. Having someone look over your shoulder always really kicks up the pressure a notch. Here are some ways to relieve the extra stress:
1. Use an editor that supports live code sharing so that everyone can code together rather than looking over each other shoulders.
2. Take breaks regularly set a timer so that you don’t forget when you need to take a break.
3. Don’t be afraid to hand the keyboard over to someone else.

Improving developer experience can lead to improved velocity of development. However, sometimes our focus on developer experience removes us too far from our actual objectives. In this case, we may benefit more from an iterative approach to implementing developer experience as we implement our products.

I’ve been looking for this for a while now. Thanks!

We live in deeds, not years; in thoughts, not breaths;
In feelings, not in figures on a dial.
We should count time by heart-throbs. He most lives
Who thinks most, feels the noblest, acts the best.
And he whose heart beats quickest lives the longest:
Lives in one hour more than in years do some
Whose fat blood sleeps as it slips along their veins.
Life's but a means unto an end; that end,
Beginning, mean, and end to all things—God.
The dead have all the glory of the world.
– Philip James Bailey

What is #Typescript really good at?
✅ Pointing out flaws that exist in how you write #Javascript.
✅ Documenting code contracts.
What is it bad at?
❌ Inferring the type of a thrown error.
❌ Code flow analysis, in generic factory functions.
*not an exhaustive list*

Awesome! I’ve never heard of JDEdwards. I’ll have to go look that one up. Do you have a favorite?

In what order did you learn your languages?
1. #C++ 2016 (during my undergraduate at #BYU)
2. #Javascript 2016
3. #Python 2017
4. #TypeScript 2018
5. #Golang 2022 (still learning)
6. #Nix 2023 (still learning)
Typescript is my main programming language for now. Some that I want to learn are #Rust and #Kotlin. What other languages should I pick up?

When I started programming, I was fortunate to have great mentors. They taught me everything that has led me this far in my career. I owe it to them to pay it forward. Now, I see my former self in all the new programmers at work and I do my best to help them like my mentors helped me.

You could try more-speech or nostr console. But web based apps are probably your best bet on linux for now. There are plent of command line clients as well.

Rules for distributing code for the web:
1. Keep it lean. Only publish what is required. No extra docs, tests, or examples should be published. Minify and uglify your frontend code.
2. Follow a well-known versioning system such as semantic versioning.
3. Automate the publishing process. You may need to publish multiple times a day or maybe only once a year. Either way, manually publishing slows down development.

The concept of middleware is not new but I love the implementation from #AWS because of it's flexibility and simplicity. I've adapted it for personal and business projects alike. The latest use I find for it is to leveling up #WindRunner: a highly-opinionated #nodejs web server framework for building fast, secure, and scalable #microservices and clients.
WindRunner is still very much a WIP but sharing the middleware stack concept in both front and backend software is what I call #DRY ;)

First day back to work after parental leave. I’m grateful to #BYU for their family-centric work policies. It’s great to work here!

There’s so many web server frameworks in the #Javascript community but none really satisfy me when it comes to providing type-safety between a client and a server besides [sinclairzx81/sidewinder](https://github.com/sinclairzx81/sidewinder). Sidewinder provides type-safety though to backend dependencies too. I’m exploring new ways to simplify #restapi development even further by building REST API best practices into a typesafe client and #webserver framework.
