What’s a real thing from your childhood that kids these days would find completely foreign?
Like, how we used to be able to walk right up to the gate to meet our family coming off a flight.
Or how we had to pick a spot to meet at the theater BEFORE we went.

Got a PR review comment that one of the functions is not readable and potentially unmaintainable.
I didn’t write it. I just moved it.
The reviewer did. A few days ago.

I've been using AI assistant as a "general-purpose codemod".
Recently, I had to migrate a large part of our backend codebase from CJS to ESM, where it helped me a lot.
It is only about 60–80% accurate, but that's been good enough to give me a strong starting point and speed up my workflow.

What matters most is the value that the project brings.
There was a project that I enjoyed alot, but was shelved 3mo after the launch.
While there is another project that I did because I had to, which is still in production (I have left that org and it hasn't received any updates since).

This is such a good advice, this doesn't mean showing a ton of half baked half iterated features, but a few super specific very polished features that you have iterated over and over.

Working on a React project where the core members hate any sort of props and uses store for even passing props from a parent to the children.
