Code quality: a concern for businesses, bottom lines, and empathetic programmers - StackOverflow

Code quality affects the mental state of a programmer, communication within their team, and the incentives attached to their work. Improve your code and you can improve your organizational health and competence as a whole.

How do you select the right tech stack? - TechCrunch

You have to pick the right tech stack for your product. Without a good technical foundation, you can end up accumulating a lot of technical debt.

Why hooks are the best thing to happen to React - StackOverflow

Originally, React mainly used class components, which can be strenuous at times as you always had to switch between classes, higher-order components, and render props. With React hooks, you can now do all these without switching, using functional components.

Where Does GraphQL Fit In the Stack? - Apollo

In this article, we’ll first do a quick recap of what “the stack” looks like without GraphQL, and then we’ll dive into how adding GraphQL changes it and what that means for building applications.

Why Outdated jQuery Is Still the Dominant JavaScript Library - The New Stack

The fact that GitHub contributions to jQuery are well down on its peak years (2006 till around 2013) also signifies that not much more can be done to make jQuery more compatible with our current web.


Designer

The Museum of Annoying Experiences - Zendesk

This exhibition takes you on a journey to a more primitive time, when bad customer service was common, and most interactions were incredibly annoying.

Adobe brings Photoshop and Illustrator to the web - Engadget

The idea is not to do let you do complex work from a web page, but allow collaborators to open and view your work from a browser to provide comments and feedback — much as you can with a Google Doc.

User friendly UX writing all starts with good storytelling - UX Studio

Usually, those of us who create digital products receive a concept, which is a summary of a product. After that, all teams involved in the design have to think about how the interface should look, how the user will navigate through it, and what words can describe the product. This last step is not a minor one, and you may not be paying enough attention to it.

Smart CSS Solutions For Common UI Challenges - Smashing Magazine

Writing CSS has probably never been more fun and exciting than it is today. In this post we’ll take a look at common problems and use cases we all have to face in our work and how to solve them with modern CSS.


Entrepreneur

How to interview no-code developers (and agencies) - Webflow

If you want the best no-code developer for your organization, you need to know how to interview candidates.

How acquisition and retention work together - Productled

Most businesses with a product-led growth (PLG) strategy think that once they acquire a customer, they will convert into a paying one shortly after. But that’s often not the case. Users are often not fully aware of how a product will help them despite signing up. In this scenario, retention is a priority.

Create products that people love by validating your idea first - Hitenism

Most of the time if you are asking other people about the idea itself, you are at the earliest stages of the idea and haven’t validated it yet.

Building A "Community-First" Company - Nfx

what we’re seeing in crypto broadly, and NFTs are really leading the way, is that creators are building a community first.


Marketer

37 Tasks Every Marketer Should Automate - Hubspot

To maximize your automation strategy, Lucy Fuggle has compiled some of the best marketing tasks that you should automate in your workflow.

Content strategy for creators: How to grow an audience - Ghost

Understanding the marketing funnel will help you find an audience, build trust and grow your business.

How to Create a Winning Blog Content Strategy in 7 Steps - Ahrefs

Much like a business strategy, a blog strategy will point your blog in the right direction and guide you towards what you want to achieve with your blog content.


Interesting Read

The forgetting curve: the science of how fast we forget - Ness Labs

most of us focus a lot more on learning rather than remembering. As a result, our mind is often a leaky bucket we keep on trying to fill, only for all of that new knowledge to soon disappear. This is because knowledge does not only have a learning curve. It also has a forgetting curve.

Focused and Diffuse: Two Modes of Thinking - Fs

Our brains employ two modes of thinking to tackle any large task: focused and diffuse. Both are equally valuable but serve very different purposes. To do your best work, you need to master both.

5 Mantras to Help You Find Your Focus - shine
