Are you familiar with the card game "Spot It!"? I'm absolutely horrible at it. So, my next project will be a Spot It! clone written in

@Ionicframework

and

@angular

. I plan to build it in public with regular updates. If you're interested, please follow along. #BuiltInPublic

I'm going to try something fun today. Follow and RT and I'll DM you a link to my get my video course, Develop Progressive Web Apps with Angular and Dump the App Stores, absolutely free.

I always love it when I can have a meaningful impact on someone.

I got my family to listen to the latest @pageit2thelimit episode where I interview @walkingriver about Communication Breakdowns and his latest book, "You Can't Say That At Work". After listening to the episode my brother ended up buying the book! pageittothelimit.com/communication-

Another Angular testing tip. If you don't have any expect calls in your test, it still passes. Great way to get test coverage without the pain. 😅 (Please don't do this)

I could name it Spymoji!

I once worked with a guy who thought if we used too many GUIDs we'd run out. This web site is awesome! I burned through about a dozen of them today.

If your project's instructions require me to alter my /etc/hosts file, we may end up having words 🤨

I found a bug this morning. The "card" score toast is showing the total score. I'm also not seeing the PWA updated automatically on my phone. I scored 17306 points in SpyDuh (van-yacht-memory with 4 symbols per card). Try to beat my score at

SpyDuh! is a game where you try to find the matching symbols on the cards.

I don't know if this is significant, but I earned more on my blog posts at medium in January than I did on my courses on Udemy. Neither is huge, but it feels backward.

I was on a team call once and sent a coworker a message over Skype that said, "Well, this is going down a rat hole." He was sharing his screen at the time and everyone saw the message pop up. The manager asked, "Something you want to say, Mike?" 😅

If you are presenting to a room full of people, remember to turn off your notifications for email, slack, etc. Most of us don't need to see a notification pop up that says, "Hi, Mike!" Or worse...

Not many votes, but at least it wasn't a tie.

Not what I wanted to see early on a Monday morning.

Overheard a coworker when asked about an estimate: "I am very confident that it could be done within a finite amount of time."

I have been a proponent of YAGNI (You ain't gonna need it) for years now, whenever someone suggests over-complicating our code. At the risk of being presumptuous, today I am coining a new term for those who think everything needs to be abstracted: NOENT: No one else needs this

Apparently few people care about how the cards are laid out. 😁

I may do this a few times. This one is my "political" version. I can also do an "NFL" version. The four people I've met and chatted with all have something in common, but that is not how I ended up meeting them.

Let's see what my friends think: 1) George W. Bush 2) Mitt Romney 3) Harry Reid 4) J. W. Marriott Jr. 5) Orin Hatch twitter.com/CharlesPPierce…

An interesting downside to not paying attention to any news media for a week is that I have very few topics of conversation. Does that mean I was only talking news and politics?

List 5 famous people you've either met or have been within a few feet of, but ONE is a lie. Then let your friends guess which one they think is a lie. 1) Barack Obama 2) Bobby Orr 3) Pete Townshend 4) Lady Bird Johnson 5) Mel Gibson

Alrighty, it's after midnight, but I wanted to get this "quick" #buildinpublic update. I added a side-bar navigation menu with the ion-split-pane and the app's version # at the bottom of the menu.

I can't decide which is worse: ‣ No documentation ‣ Inaccurate documentation Yes, I can: inaccurate documentation is definitely worse.

Reminder of the day. When you're pushing a Node/Express app to Azure, don't hard-code your listening port. Instead, listen on process.env.PORT. I can't tell you how long that one had me baffled.

I recently got two teams together who didn't know each other. One had a business problem, and the other a technical solution. No code written, or money spent, but we now have an enhanced guest experience. Can I still call myself a software developer?
