How quickly someone answers you is rarely a sign of how much they care about you.
Delayed replies to emails, texts, and calls are often symptoms of being overwhelmed.
Unless it's urgent, the true test of a relationship isn't the speed of response. It's the quality of attention.

A busy life is not a symbol of status. It's a symptom of trying to do too much for too many people.
A full calendar brings a surplus of stress and a shortage of energy. Reflecting and relaxing should be top priorities.
Unscheduled time isn't wasted. It's invested in well-being.

I’ve been incubating this opinion for a long time, and it’s that having documentation separate to your product is a waste of time.
The documentation should be _in_ the product, and it should surface itself when needed. I like to use the Rust compiler’s error messages as an example.

Users never read.
If you’ve ever done support for a product of any kind this is immediately apparent. And that’s when you realize building intuitive UX is really hard!

React 19 removed a number of deprecated features like legacy context and string refs. The release notes said this "makes React smaller and faster".
Out of curiosity, is there any actual noticeable change in perf because of this? My intuition says no, but curious if anyone's run a benchmark.

There's this evergreen joke on software development that goes something like this:
"We're done with 90% of the project. Which means we only have the other 90% left to go."
It's funny because it's true. It's also why experienced engineers are in-demand: they are the "finishers."
AI tools: not now.
