brings up this excellent post on writing more so that you get through the surface layer crap:
You think you don’t have anything to write about because you aren’t digging deep enough. Say the deepest thing, and you’ll find that something appears beneath it, like a set of Russian matryoshka dolls, an infinite uncovering.

- Early recruits like Sophie Alpert, Cheng Lou, Dan Abramov liked internals of React, not "look how fast i can build an app" (35 mins)

A thought provoking blogpost from a devtools PhD:
> "tools research is still light-years ahead of what’s being deployed. It is not unusual at all to read a 20 year-old paper with a tool empirically shown to make programmers 4x faster at a task, and for the underlying idea to still be locked in academia."

I've been reading the handbook for a while, and I am enjoying it a lot.
My two biggest takeaways so far:
My two biggest takeaways so far:
- I was already familiar with many of the topics of the book, but having them in a single place I can reference is pretty handy and refreshing knowledge is always great.
- The sheer amount of external links is amazing. That helps me to collect more information about areas I want to dive deeper.
