The "Ask AI" feature in the @drizzle.team docs is what ALL docs need. Very helpful.

Happy to see @freecodecamp.bsky.social just shared my React Native for Beginners course before year's end! 🎉 I try to donate at least one video course per year to their amazing YT channel. Truly an honor to contribute to such an outstanding resource. www.youtube.com/watch?v=sm5Y...

With the new free tier of GitHub Copilot, this cannot be said enough ... Beginners should NOT use AI coding assistance. It is frequently wrong. Learn the fundamentals so you know how to correct it.

My most watched video is on freeCodeCamp's YT channel (@freecodecamp.bsky.social) - and it's a great place to start or refresh some fundamentals. "HTML for Beginners" has over 3 million views! 🤯 youtu.be/kUMe1FH4CHE?...

Lots of code to write.. but there are NJ drone videos to watch. Seriously, "nothing to see here" and at the same time, they hold a classified briefing. Talk about mixed messages!

It's the end of the semester, and my university students are asking me for advice on getting started in the dev job market. What would you suggest to these students? Here's some specific advice I share that they don't get from the career guidance office 👇

Good communication skills and patience are underrated developer skills. For example, I asked a user to send me some files I needed to see. I _assumed_ they knew I meant attach the files to an email because I need to see what is inside of them. 👇

When you're building something and think "There must be an easier way..", there usually is, but you haven't found it yet. And sometimes you just have to write a regex to pluck out what you need.

I like BlueSky. However, it is clear my audience is not here yet, and I should cross-post. Same post here got zero response.

Looks fun! 🙌 I'm also looking forward to other fun in December like Advent of TS, etc. The hardest part is finding time. I'd like to spread all of the good stuff in December throughout the year.

My daughter and her friend are listening to Christmas carols while working on her fall break culinary assignment in the kitchen. I can hear them having fun, and it makes me happy. This is a remote work intangible. I wouldn't go to an office for all the bitcoin.

There are many benefits to creating content even if you don't build a large audience. Document your knowledge. You will also have another way to display your activity that isn't measured in commits.

Watched John Carpenter's "The Thing" last night. I like how old movies build stories. However, they will also test modern attention spans.

Debug December is coming. Think of it as an Advent Calendar of Bugs. Almost like the Advent of Bugs. The Yeti find his way home. Each week we’ll raffle off prizes to all who complete the puzzles. 🎁

Fellow devs - what starter packs do I need? Please share some recommendations.

Keyboard died. Bought a new one and plugged it into the same port on my KVM switch. Didn't work. Now I have a KVM switch with a bad port and two working keyboards.
