2022-11-1157 minRuntime Rundown - JavaScript and Web DevelopmentThe One About the Wrong AbstractionWhat did we talk about
In this episode, we’re talking about “The Wrong Abstraction" by Sandi Metz. We go against years of programming best practices and propose copy-pasting code….sometimes.
Along the way, we mention "AHA Programming" by Kent Dodds and "The Wet Codebase" by Dan Abramov, and generally rail against speculative generality.
If you listen long enough, you’ll hear Joe mouth-coding something called a “bloom filter” and Evan makes an offer you can’t refuse.
2022-11-0448 minRuntime Rundown - JavaScript and Web DevelopmentThe One About The 10X Programmer MythThis week we read The 10X Programmer Myth by Justin Etheredge. Point Hogs and Rocket Turtles, Code Fountains and Obsessors, this article is a menagerie of developer archetypes. Evan examines whether Preact Signals might actually be exactly what he needs, and Joe learns something about NextJS he probably should have known already. Let's go!

Evan has one or two Typescript hot takes, and Joe tells us about a headline he read.

We talk about the good traits of senior+ engineers, a bit about how to get there, and some things we think a senior+ shouldn't do.
Also, Joe shamelessly self-promotes his new Let's Build Tetris! youtube series (jk, he paid me to introduce it "naturally").

The devastation of being seen by some as disposable in a COVID precaution weary world, and the dehumanizing burden of becoming a "Brand" when you choose to share your struggles publicly. On the lighter side, we d...
