6 reasons why JavaScript's async/await blows promises away - https://hackernoon.com/6-reasons-why-javascripts-async-await-blows-promises-away-tutorial-c7ec10518dd9 Just doing some research for a technical interview coming up this week and came across this article.

Trying to get a solid grasp of promises, generators, async/await, and observables... on a Saturday night. I really know how to party.

IRC is 30 years old - http://www.oulu.fi/university/node/54247 - I met my husband on IRC back in '98.

"The best coders in the world only know a small fraction of everything there is to know about coding.

The only skill you need is to know 1) how to identify what you don’t know / when you don’t know something; and 2) how to look things up, how to read documentation, how to try & try & try and keep trying while things fail, until they work. That’s literally the job of writing code. " https://threader.app/thread/1022532179887353856

@Neurotrace I avoided it due to title for awhile and having read the first part, I almost put it down. But I agree, it gets to be a good book.

As to non programming related stuff, too many to mention. I would like to buckle down and read one book at a time but it never happens. Most recent book I finished was The Subtle Art of not Giving a F*ck, which was counter intuitive but thought provoking. The start is pretty rough (v. crude) but it gets better.

Reading JavaScript Patterns by Stefanov along with Mastering JavaScript Object-Oriented Programming by Chiarelli. Also Secrets of the JavaScript Ninja 2nd Ed. object oriented chapters. Really enjoying Mosh Hamedani's OOP in JavaScript video course.

I also subscribed to Front End Masters which is expensive, but at least I know the quality is there. Udemy can be cheap but sometimes you get what you pay for.

As to my continuing quest to learn React, I really like Mosh Hamedani's videos and teaching style.

Yay my 3rd edition learning JavaScript data structures and algorithms arrived finally

Currently reading up on interface animations and other microinteractions...

Really looking forward to receiving the 3rd edition of learning JavaScript data structures and algorithms in the mail, hopefully next week.

Cancelled my Evernote subscription and trying out Turtl - a secure, encrypted Evernote alternative - https://turtlapp.com/

Looking at a Wordpress theme with 357 demos. Why should I code my own theme from scratch again?

Paid for 3 yrs hosting for my main domain name and in the process of transferring the domain name to the new host. This used to be harder.

I was so excited to install and try invision studio... Then I realized I have no ideas to design...
