   Don't treat your colleagues like compilers 🙅‍♂️ Write your code for humans — you aren't going to "lose points" if you leave helpful hints or little breadcrumbs to indicate how and why you've done things a certain way.

4. Some people see this as a negative. Junior developers should see this as an opportunity. Become the best in your team at some bleeding-edge CSS while others are grumbling about how they just got their head around flexbox @meyerweb/929097712754098181

5. Duolingo is quite possibly the best thing to come out of “the app era”. Delightful product, genuinely useful, encourages learning, the free offering is so good that you *want* to pay. Well done everyone at @duolingo honestly, you should be proud. Not many products are like this

   • Can't empathise with new devs (juniors or people new to the code base) • Don't understand that code alone can only tell a fraction of the story (ie. who, what, when — never WHY) • Will be lacking in communication skills in all the other situations you need to work with them

17. Not interested in the metaverse. Not interested in VR. Not interested in web3. Honestly barely even interested in computers; they’re just a tool. It’s all about people and places and experiences in the real world for me. I do not want a future where I’m _more_ online
