2. Devs - do you have a system for getting things done? Maybe you use no system at all and that really works for you? I'm planning to record episodes for a podcast I'm calling "How Devs Work." Reach out if you'd like to be a guest & talk about the system that works for you!

3. I don't know who needs to hear this, but... You have an identity that you chose for yourself years ago, and it's not serving you anymore. It's okay to let that identity go, and choose a new one. You don't have to be the stories you've been telling yourself.

8. After rejections from @syntaxcon and @NDC_Conferences, I was feeling pretty down. After some complaining to @davidpine7 and @rachelkrau about it, they reminded me to channel the energy in a positive direction. So I wrote this. Maybe it can help you! stevenhicks.me/blog/2018/01/on-overcoming-rejection/

9. Yup! Snapshots optimize for time of test-write, instead of test-failure. But test-write is when you have all the context to understand why the test would fail, and at test-failure you have none. In most cases, snapshots are a shortsighted solution that future-you will regret. @searls/1011999853243719680

12. A while back, @sebmarkbage wrote up a ton of perspective on people's reactions to React hooks: github.com/reactjs/rfcs/pull/68#issuecomment-439314884 It's great reading, if you're curious about the motivation for hooks, or where they might be headed. h/t @djsheldrick, who shared it in a PR discussion 🤗

23. The sun sets on another edition of #creamcitycode, & I have so many confusing, conflicting emotions. I don't know what my future is with this thing I've loved and helped build. I'm just really thankful for everyone who has ever been a part of it, in any capacity. 😘😘😘
