The adapter works great with the Shure SE846 IEMs. I’d rather use the speakers than die on the no adapter hill.

I just use the adapter and keep a couple in reserve for when I lose one.

Works great.

It’s just focusing on the moment, not something to really master the art and craft of cleaning dishes. Dishes is just an example activity that many might find venal, but is an opportunity to practice mindfulness

“Web Dev” encompasses a hell of a lot of material. I’m still a fan of books.

I very specifically stopped targeting “buyers” in favor of individuals. The buyers want us to develop “whips & dashboards”

Lucrative! Not what we want to build.

That’s one of my favorite aspects of being self-funded and profitable.

Ives said it was relatively easy to swap out the node bits.

The egghead Redux series has been very popular and useful for users. We’d love to talk about how we can compliment this documentation revamping with updated/new free resources. [email protected]

We use MobX as a dependency injector, and it’s been great. Scales up very well and is fairly simple to get people up to speed when they drop into our project.

Redux was a “wtf” as it grew in our app and was a real struggle to back out of.

The audience wants you to succeed and are generally very forgiving.

So far none of my kids have really cared about coding at all. We’ve got python books, js books, ruby books, scratch, Lego Mindstorms, arduinos... they aren’t interested. Definitely wouldn’t pick it up unless prompted.

We home educate, so they have access and time to explore.

Nope.

Our oldest picked it up after a 6 month stint making sandwiches when they were 17.

“Dad, can I still learn to code?”

I miss the days when “tell turtle forward 50” was amazing.

I don’t have a lot of parenting regrets but spanking my kids is one of them.

Fear is definitely a solid deterrent though, no doubt.
