So true. My fantasy company (please anyone start it) is "reverse-Amazon-prime"-- Remove anything from your house in 2 days. Then you have all the connections to a) sell and share the money back with me, b) donate it, or c) dispose of it responsibly. This would be so awesome done right with solid research into the best ways to do all of the above for a huge variety of stuff.

Yes! He was featured on the cover of a bicycle magazine back then and quicky became a nerd-hero of my youth.

I like the mainframe PC analogy but I think in this case we are running up against ergonomics. People's hands are not shrinking and our eyes aren't getting any better. More interface may get offloaded to audio/voice, but we are such visual creatures. Until we are beaming data directly into our eyes, I don't think we will abandon the palm-sized display-- maybe foldable one like paper, or a tattoo, or my shirt sleave, but something.

I also have a soft spot for subs that reveal high craft in unexpected places. r/conduitporn is also on this list.

Thank you for that link! I am starting in react and there is a blend of ES6 and ES5 in the tutorials (maybe even within the official react tutorials?). This hits the spot in clearing up some confusion for me.

Although, isn't this more true for writing tests at all versus writing tests first or last in the coding process?
In terms of technical debt, does it matter when the tests are written?

This is trivial compared to lots of good advice here, but I've benefited in stuck times by cutting my hair. Of course, alone, this doesn't do much, but sometimes that moment in the mirror with someone looking slightly different-- it helps me lock-in a course correction just a bit.
