  Hiring a senior JavaScript developer

  I will risk a thesis to start with - you can’t judge seniority of the JavaScript developer by experience counted in years.

  Why so complicated

  Sometimes it's worth to share an opinion. But as I decided to go more with the facts I'm going to base it on some recent experiences.

  Hello again

  In the beginning, over here was a blog. Teenage, developer-plus-anyone wannabe blog. It turned to portfolio-showoff. Then I-want-to-look-serious business site. Then nothing. For one-month random porn site. And as I turned full self-discovery circle it’s blog again.

  React with RxJS

  When we started the migration to React we faced an interesting problem. Most of the resources explained data structures in React on very simple examples. Our data model was far more complex. Also, we had to combine React with other stacks, like GridLayout (based on jQuery) and leave the ability to shift to any other codebase in the future.

  doc2dot

  

  TLDR Documenting massive redux models with asynchronous actions can be simplified by using old good Graphviz and few comments in the code.

  Preparation trips

  

  Almost every day I do 20 miles cycle and gym workout, connected with intermittent fasting and low carb regime to prepare for the trip. But for a really good preparation, we need a bit more. Therefore I "organise" two longer trips (details may change depending on the weather).

  Bike stolen, Walking istead

  

  I was just finishing my last prep workout. Made 70 miles from Wimbledon, via Windsor, Watford and back to London. I stopped for a moment in Patisserie Valerie on Marble Arch. Chained my bike in front of the entrance. Cameras were there and people were sitting in front of the place. I went inside, started to drink coffee and charge my phone a bit before cycling next 20 miles home. I went out the coffee and there was no bike.

  Why react is so easy?

  Don't get me wrong. To be a JavaScript developer you need to focus on understanding the language and mastering it. Then on specifics of the runtime ("place" where you code runs) environment, which most commonly will be either browser or node (which in many cases will mean "backend").

  Arrays - from zero to practice

  One of the first obstacles for people just learning about software development is difficult to get real-life examples. Where it comes to learning types String, Number and Boolean are quite clear (tricky still). But when it comes to Object and an Array it's a different story. The concepts are too abstract for someone who never worked with code.

  Retrieving history

  I decided to dig in my history and find records of my internet activity since the begining. And I've been here for a while, constantly rediscovering myself. Why I want to do? For myself, for my memories, but also to show how I developed so maybe someone can learn from it to. This post will be used as a list for research and will be updated continously...
