Microsoft ❤️ Linux

You know, if I had a time machine and shown this photo to someone from 2005, they'd probably think I photoshoped it 😂

But, Microsoft changed over years and admitted they were wrong before. Now pushing more in open source with vscode, github, npm, Linux on Windows etc. Even aforementioned Fluent UI - you can see they are trying 😂 and that's well done. Even though we will still criticize them to make them better.

This one 🔥

Although that's something that didn't happen today, but you can still see the road path they chose (and are still on track).

Thanks to @PerspectiveIX who shared it here

And yeah, you probably heard this before, but if you not yet subscribed to perspectiveIX, you are missing out!

I don't often encourage too much to join other channels, but this one is a great exception, which I actually have in my Daily folder in telegram (yea, you can do it).

Remember how you've always been difficult with me that I praise Framer while its not available on Windows?

Oh well😂

It is now available on Web with a decent free plan. I guess that the closest so far for Windows users

Turns out the guy who created Bulma has a personal website with some interesting stuff

PS futurama is a must
PPS thanks to @SrZorro for sharing

The psychology of choice or why giving less options for your users is better for UX.

Not too sure Adobe read it.

​​Antd UI

I got quite used to this UI library that I use on a daily basis now - ant design

Turns out, it has much more sophisticated work behind it like Animation, own charts library (AntV), Sketch plugins, tons of well written documentation (sometimes in Chinese though), integrations with Vue, React, TS/JS and generally quite slick design🔥

The morale, if you are looking for something new to try, this one is clearly worth your time.

So, as you see the spread of answers is quite interesting. And in fact the very reason I posted this poll is that this topic has some contradictory opinions.

Well, let me share mine then😂

"Web Developer = Full-Stack Developer"?

Short answer: no. And to avoid getting into another holywar, think of fullstack devs who work on mobile / desktop apps. They are fullstack devs, but not Web devs.

Long answer: I believe it depends on who is asking the question. If its coming from a Dev then read short answer and make a discussion out of it. If it's coming from your friend who can barely use laptop, then just tell them "YES, it's the same" . This will save you quite some time. Otherwise you will have to explain what's frontend, backend, fullstack why such split happened, why nowadays Web dev can develop mobile apps, why and how responsive websites are not mobile apps, although with PWA they are heading there etc. Well, you get the idea.

How to progress as a developer

I've received a number of questions on where to start from, helping to find good resources or courses to help learn and become a (better) developer.

The reality, however, is such that its all about practice.

It's not about that specific course that you need to pay for that guarantees that you ll get a job nor its about a degree (trust someone who got a degree in computer science after all)

It all comes down to 2 main things:

- your passion
- willingness to learn and grow

My most useful courses that I went through to learn "that best language that can help you earn money" were just guiding me in understanding that its up to me and my curiosity to become a better developer (although, quite humbly I don't consider myself a great developer as there is always something to learn, quite indefinitely in fairness).

This is my advice. You can take it or not, it's up to you.

Don't waste your money on courses that promise you anything as promises are worth nothing. Instead start developing something today. Even now.

It can be as simple as a calculator, new trello board, perfectly designed yet another Todo list or your own UI components library, doesn't really matter. As long as you pick a language and start coding, trust me there is more than enough free material that can get you there.

Quite soon you will get stuck. And you will find that this community is one of the most helpful out there. Even our own chat, it amazes me how some people (looking at you @SrZorro) spend their time to help and answer (quite calmly and understandably) to people who need a bit of support/guidance.

Another great piece of advice is to start participating in contests, competitions, hackatons etc.

You will end up meeting great people, progressing as you read their code and winner's solutions. In fact, reading other people's code is probably the most useful thing out there. It cannot be underestimated.


Point being, guys, all you really need is picking up a language, framework, tool, instrument and start using it. Small pet project, fun competition or a contest is something that can really help you to learn or become a better developer.
That's the only way🔥

Interesting UI approach for side menu.
