Mike and I will be talking to Xandor Schiefer next week about the intersection of #react and #functionalprogramming. meetup.com/fedsa-communit…

I'm very happy to announce that I'll be speaking in both Cape Town and Pretoria at this year's DevConf ! I'll be covering what real quality in Software Engineering is, why it matters, and how to get it! There may also be an informal keyboard meetup! ⌨️

Xandor Schiefer will be joining us to discuss the art of software maintenance. Why it's sometimes a trade-off (& sometimes not), what quality is (& isn't) and why we need to care about these things. Take a look at the overview on our #DevConf website for more info! #software #quality

Not long ago a gave a talk at NodeJs One Africa about Functional Programming in JavaScript. It's a gentle introduction to the topic. If you've ever been curious, have a look: youtu.be/_FVK0mD76Ds #javascript #programming #africa #nodejs #functionalprogramming

Xandor Schiefer is presenting “Zen and the Art of Software Maintenance” and it’s a hot topic because the room is packed! #devconf #software #quality

Where has Anthony been lately?? youtu.be/b-owBhLGaH4

Strange Loop was a labor of love from 2009-2023 - thanks to everyone that spoke, attended, or watched our videos online. While our conference has ended, the friendships remain!

Just published a small holiday project I was working on over December: npmjs.com/package/zod-dev. Shout out to Mike Murray and Xandor Schiefer for all the great suggestions and early feedback! 🏆

Yesterday, myself, Mike Murray and Xandor Schiefer chatted a bit about what went down in #javascript land in 2023, and our predictions for 2024: ⏰ Date & Temporal APIs 📺 Signals Pattern ⚡ HTMX 🌐 React Server Components 💚 Personal Goals youtube.com/watch?v=tAIubF…

Honoured to have my talk "I Can't Believe It's Not Native!" accepted by DevConf! I'll be showing how the gap between native mobile applications and web applications has shrunk a lot lately, both in terms of platform capability and polish! Hope to see you there!

My previous employer had a fully remote policy. You could book a desk if you wanted to go into the office in Cpt cbd. They changed their policy - everyone needs to be in the office everyday and the offices moved to an industrial area. 20 people had quit so far.

I did a "dry run" (really more a conversational version) of the topics I'll be covering at DevConf 2024 last night with Schalk Venter for FEDSA. It's 2,5 hours long. 😅 Gonna have to condense that a bit! #pwa #web #webdeveloper #apple #ios #android #webapp

🎤 Don't miss Xandor Schiefer's "I Can't Believe It's Not Native!" at #DevConf2024! 🙌 Discover how modern web apps can rival native with access to platform features like Bluetooth, NFC, and push notifications. Get insights on making web UIs feel slick and deciding when to go native.

Fixed the illusive bug and add example code from last week's "Web Components in React 19" session to Github: github.com/schalkventer/r… For anyone curious, the bug was that I destructured "value" from the HTML element, thus breaking the in-memory reference.
