About

• Tech things I’m curious about (no particular order):

  JavaScript, TypeScript, React, developer productivity, component libraries, npm, code sharing, code review, bundlers, linters, compilers, node, semantic HTML, accessibility

• Favourite quote on development I strive to live by:

  If you don’t understand why a piece of code works, you have no hope of understanding why it breaks, other than guesses

Some bio facts if you must:

1. Got my first web developer job in 2007
2. For the first little while, knew just enough JavaScript to be dangerous ^{with jQuery}
3. Was actually quite happy mostly doing Rails for a few years. ❤️ Ruby
4. Found React in 2015, ES6 just came out as well. Started getting more into front end, learning JS
5. Fun contributing to eslint-plugin-react in 2018
6. Finding myself excited by JS tooling, code sharing techniques, helping devs be productive in general
7. Started this blog 🎉 Largely inspired by this sage advice:

   If you’ve ever considered writing a blog post but didn’t because it was already covered by other people, please reconsider.
   I’m searching for a tutorial on a topic and have passed on about 5 of them so far because their style doesn’t resonate with how I learn.
   We need options😊

8. Whatever the future holds, chances are there is JavaScript in it
