Reading the Mastodon Recap of 2021, I wish the rest of the universe was more like the fediverse.

The tech lead of the React Core team is moving to work at Vercel, which is the company producing Next.js.
He will continue contributing to the React team, it sounds like, so the intergration/collaboration between React and Next.js will be even more seamless.
This reinforces Vercel tech as a good bet imo.

I don’t know who needs to hear this but…
Privacy isn’t:
- A premium feature
- A setting you must configure
- About having something to hide
Privacy is:
- A basic human right.

Frustrated/disappointed to see it appears Instagram is banning #BLM related content.
For the record - Black Lives Matter is a peaceful social justice organization.

I did get tripped up due to my editor adding a newline at the end of the puzzle input. "Why does my program work correctly for the test case and not for the puzzle input?" probably because your puzzle input got messed up somehow. Now I know.

Dumbo octopi are so cute. I enjoyed seeing the visualizations people came up with on Reddit! https://www.reddit.com/r/adventofcode/comments/rdwebv/2021_day_11_dumbo_octopus_flashes/

Does this all make sense? Is there some other approach to learning/mentoring that I'm missing?
So by this logic, the learning mainly happens as you *do* the thing, and your success at doing the thing can be measured as a proxy for measuring the learning itself.
The other way to improve is to get feedback - either from a coach, or by studying and learning the right/wrong way. Example; the coach watches you try to dribble, and then corrects your technique.
I can think of two main ways to improve - one is to practice.
Just like learning to dribble a basketball; you try, and fail, and keep trying, and eventually start to succeed.
I've been reflecting regularly on professional growth, and how to help others grow professionally. Always becoming a better and better engineer. 🧵

Have you seen a Mastodon post make rounds outside of Mastodon? If so, let me know which post it was, and where you saw it. If I get like, 5 of them, I'll add them to our blog.
