Пилотния за сезон 2019 епизод е със Стефан Кънев. Поговорихме си за мениджмънт и лидерство. Приятно слушане.

Ето един малък коледен подарък - епизод номер 19 на NADCAST. Последните няколко месеца съм на вълна продуктивност. С Радо Станков и Минко Гечев си поговорихме за TEA framework. Или казано по друг начин, как да намерим повече време (time), енергия (energy) и фокус (attention). Приятно слушане.

Recently I spent some time working on my own JavaScript playground called Demoit. Something like CodeSandbox, JSBin or Codepen. I already blogged about why I did it but decided to write down some implementation details. Everything happens at runtime in the browser so it is pretty interesting project.

I had some time during the weekend and decided to work on my slides for an event at the end of the month. I reached the part where I have to do a live coding session and I was wondering what tool to use. At the end I created my own called Demoit. This is a short article explaining how it works.

If you use React you probably know about the so called hooks. They were officially announced at this year's ReactConf by Sophie Alpert and Dan Abramov. Their presentation could be seen here. I, same as many others got intrigued by this new feature. A little bit confused by if I like them or not but kind of excited. This article pretty much sums up my thinkings around React hooks and aims to give a balanced opinion.

This episode is with Sara Vieira. She is doing a lot of interesting things with React, GraphQL, Apollo and with JavaScript in general. She's also part of bunch of conferences doing talks and workshops which itself is a big challenge. Happy listening :)

If your users deal with images (photos, product images, etc.) it will be great if they have the ability to apply some basic editing after upload, e.g. adjust brightness and contrast for sharper view, crop, add some text, etc. However, if image editing is not the primary feature of your product, the profit from investment in such secondary feature won't cover the costs. Integrating a 3rd party image editor appears to be a wiser choice.

След дългата, почти два месеца пауза, епизод 17 на NADCAST е с Радо Станков. Започнахме с някои много интересни новини като предстоящия NotAHackathon и VarnaConf. След това си поговорихме за различните по вид работни среди. През freelancer-ството до работата в продуктова компания.

Long long time ago in a kingdom far far away there was an app. The app was supported by the well known React and Redux families but there was a problem. It was damn slow. People started complaining and the app had to do something. It had to deliver its content quickly so it provides better user experience. Then the server-side rendering was born.

Много ценен разговор с Владо се получи. В този 16-ти епизод дискутираме code review процеси, навици, мотивация и като за финал малко за баланса в нашата професия. Надявам се да ви хареса.
