A book review suggestion popped up on my LinkedIn timeline. It wasn't the book but the structure of the article that stuck with me:

• Short summary about the author
• What the book is about
• What's great about it
• What's annoying about it
• The best quote
• Why you should read it as

The last point in particular offers a lot of potential to make the book review interesting for a specific target group.

The article highlights 10 TypeScript AntiPatterns. Code examples show how AntiPatterns are used and what the code ideally looks like. I particularly like the attempt to explain why the AntiPattern exists. Finally, the argumentation for the improvement suggestion follows.

I listened to the 6 Minute Podcast today and learned that there are two good ways to deal with anger. Firstly, the breathing technique "psychological sigh" (inhale twice through the nose and slowly exhale through the mouth).

If you are interested in more details, listen for yourself and follow the link.

There is an article about dealing with mistakes available in the "Lean Principle" LinkedIn group that you definitely need to check out.

On the one hand, there is a chart with possible reactions to mistakes that makes you think - do I acknowledge a mistake and try to learn from it or do I look for someone to blame? On the other hand, the article describes the importance of a good error culture. And how incredibly difficult it is to establish such a culture.

I think our children should learn how to deal with mistakes well at school - or even better at daycare. They should welcome mistakes as an opportunity to improve. They should understand errors as a necessity in the process and learn to use them. And not, as is currently the case, being punished with bad grades for mistakes.

A list of Javascript frontend libraries that are current, small and helpful. Pleasantly no Lodash, moment, but actually good alternatives like radash and dayjs. Look for yourself.

Every year when I'm faced with the question of how to develop a native mobile app, it comes back to the performance question. Which approach offers good fps values? My focus is on the cross-compiled approaches React-Native and Flutter. Here is a comparison from August 2024.
