Time for some good stuff.

If you are like me and waiting for official telegram client to add group/users/channels split - then read below.

When you start using telegram a bit more often, you typically find yourself burdened with dozens of channels that will push to you all their 'crucially important content' just like @thefrontend does 😂

Just after you finally realise to mute all your channels, you might also consider trying a better telegram client 🤔.

By better I mean having such a basic, but important split, where all channels are separated from your friends.

For Android users thats a Plus Messenger - gave it a go for a few days, it is actually a great alternative + turned out to be more battery efficient. It has a few other perks, but those are cosmetic changes.

Oh yes, and its also fully customisable.

Apple fans can check out - Teleplus, you'll have to Google it as I don't have 🍎

Talking about customisation, please go for dark theme - it looks so much better and might even help your eyesight 👓

PS in official android telegram client:
Settings - Theme - Dark

Plus messenger vs official Telegram client battery consumption🤷‍♂

Not sure if that's intended, but the numbers talk for themselves.

Phone: Pixel, Android Pie

Interesting fact. Try to guess if its more or less than Boeing 787 avionics + its online system?

How to become a frontend developer roadmap to assist your learning.

Nicely visualised that you shouldn't jump into Angular/React right from the start☝️

Critical thinking in software development

Have you ever heard this:
Good code should always be DRY (Don't repeat yourself)

But when you hear such argument, does your opponent considers you unique scenario?

Found a great article for you that proves that this is not always the case and describes other typical misconseptions and stereotypes in software development.

Found this Russian book in one of the North Korean libraries 🤷‍♂.

It called: Business for beginners. How to open an online shop from scratch

I think they are pranking themselves with this 😂

I keep getting requests for free online dev courses. What I normally say is don't limit yourself like that and if you really want to master specific topic prepare to go through both: free and paid material.

Wrote an article to elaborate a bit on this.

What programming languages do hackers use?

Good article describing top 5 languages.

Someone just told me that promoting 'informative channels' in telegram is useless and people don't need it as they only need movies, memes and porn.

Wait. What?

Do you agree with that?

You asked about personal recommendations for good quality channels that I follow myself.

The above post is from @dev_useful_stuff - a small channel that collects all the good dev stuff and share it in a very nice, short format.

The content is similar to what you saw on this channel in the beginning (well, before it somehow got mixed with a travelling blog🤷‍♂😂) - the NK story is on its way, guys.

Anyways, have a look at the channel - give the guy some support for what he is doing✊.

How commenting your code can screw you over 🤷‍♂

As some say extensive comments are used to either compensate too long, unreusable code or simply stuff noone understands.

As an example to prove the point, look over the 2 code snippets, which one is easier to grasp?

What a pleasure to read a well explained article with links to fill all the possible gaps you might have.

No idea what Hapi.js is or don't know how is it better than Express? Still not sure why mongodb should go with mongoose or how to connect it with mlab?

And if you think I am speaking chinese - the article is for you.

Building strong APIs is something that can transform you from an average developer to a good one and allow you service to be flexible enough for adding extra functionalities.

Let's have a look at something useful.

Imagine your are JS ninja. 🥋

You (obviously🙋‍♂) would know that there are comparison operators that type-cast:

==/!=

And the ones that don't:

===/!==

And then:

————
1=="1"; //true
false == " nt "; //true
[[ ]], [[ ]] == true; //true

//FUCKED UP 🤯? Agree.
————

Which is why it's always a good idea to use === as it will check that both operands are identical

————
1 === "1"; //false
false === " nt ";. //false
[[ ]], [[ ]] === true; //false

//thats better 🤘
