Wow, Samsung Cloud does literally nothing but show you how much data youre using per app or redirect you to a marketing site. I can't see my photos, notes, reminders or anything. What is the point of this?

Listen to these wise words from @TreyBotard about #devrel and #documentation. Choose wisely what to pay your attention first ;-)

Probably the best thing you'll see today. In 2017, a group of developers hilariously competed for who could create worst volume control interface in the world. The results 🧵 1/22

"Where do we go from here?", asks @mattstratton in his keynote from #DevRelCon Prague. He advocates for collaboration to make #DevRel more effective in the downturn, while maintaining the focus of our mission. See the video or read the transcript: developerrelations.com/strat…

And just like that, I've been a devrel for 2 years... crazy how that works. I've learned SO much. Gonna start posting about my journey and learnings. I think our role is not well enough understood and i'd like to start to change that.

I keep thinking about the "if a tree falls in a forest, and no ones there to hear it, did it actually make a noise" thought experiment when I think about the role devrel plays. If you build a product and no one can figure out how to use it, did you create any value? I say no.

Been digging way into how browsers handle things like message passing between window instances and manage iframes for the past couple days. Web devs stand on the shoulders of effin giants. Theres so much to the platform and browsers. Never ceases to amaze.

Idk how or why, but I've been _obsessed_ with @Lightroom for the past week or so. I'm pretty awful at editing photos, but I'm really digging learning how it all works.

Tomorrow, I'll be joining @jonmarkgo of @MLHacks on the State of Developer Education pod. We're gonna talk all things #devrel, #fintech, and @atomic_fi, but specifically docs - the cornerstone of dev experience. Excited to hear from Jon and share my exp building docs sites.

I'm probably missing something but @nuxt_js 3's auto-import functionality seems to break cmd+click. I dont want to see the components.d.ts. idc about that. Thats just a list of all the imports. I want the docs for the types or to go to my component when its one I made.

If you're a content creator, your goal is to create content that resonates with your audience. • Understand their needs & wants • Show them how to solve their problems • Illustrate what happens when they do It's not hard, as long as you don't overthink it.

I just subscribed to Optimism (for the web) @leeerob's substack. I've enjoyed Lee's content on other platforms and I'm thinking about creating a newsletter myself. leerob.substack.com/subscrib…

If you use React, you should be using a React framework. If your existing app doesn't use a framework, you should incrementally migrate to one. If you're creating a new React project, you should use a framework from the beginning.
