I had a cheeky few days in Gran Canaria last week, sans code, and now I’ve forgotten all my GraphQL learnings again.
I went to an awesome meetup just before my holiday called Her+Data in Manchester: really nice group of people, interesting talks and well-run!
After creating many Atom extensions and never finishing them, I published Rainbow Tree, which changes the colours of you project directories to rainbow colours depending on the directory depth.
Enjoyed reading this blog post by Rachel Smith about not having imposter syndrome. To be honest I don’t feel like an imposter in tech either and can’t empathise with this movement where everyone likes to admit to being an imposter. I had bad times and moments when I doubt myself, but I’ve never been an imposter - I deserve to be here as much as anyone else and know just as much as the next person about my job.
How have I not read anything by Joel Spolsky before?? His five worlds blog post is a classic and talks about how not every solution is relevant to your world/situation/setup/product/company.
