Developer productivity requires balancing two competing desires:
1. Improve process.
2. Finish the current task.
Itโs often tempting to improve something thatโs important, but unrelated to my current task.
So, these two desires must be balanced.

The Laravel community is growing, and the packages developed for it are also increasing. We'll look into a few packages in this article to improve PHP coding standards and automate some tasks that were done manually.

There's a balance between individual coding and research. If you can figure out everything solo, you leveled up. Look at if there are better alternative methods, more complex functionality, or read some blogs. The industry changes fast and there's always more to learn #DevDiscuss

Skill plateaus are good in short bursts - when I switched from Java to Django, I needed to feel steady for a hot sec.
But often, itโs a ๐ฉ- either the work isnt exciting you or the company isnt supporting your growth.
The best antidote is jumping into a new domain

Going from junior to engineer is pretty easy. But getting past this point seems quite difficult. I need to show more leadership, but also have to do a lot of work to find good projects.
It requires a level of networking and connection that's not easy today. #devdiscuss

#devdiscuss the best way Ive seen to grow through a skill plateau has literally been to throw myself into a new language or environment.
Earlier this year I went from only ever doing frontend work to having to learn Kotlin to build a new service Such a great forcing function

We constantly argue about cosmetics vs. "functional" features, but that's essentially a matter of personal taste. To solve problems, we need to spend more time on the intrinsics.
Here's what I mean...

Working in the a11y space and advocating for accessibility on your development team can feel like you are never making progress. It takes a very persistent and tough mindset to push throughโso take the small wins!

Overall, I feel that Rails is amazing, has a lot of design wisdom in it, and is very classic.
But if Rails has to rely on Ruby in the end, why don't I just use Python?

So, in short: when Strict Mode is on, React mounts components twice (in development only!) to check and let you know it has bugs. This is in development only and has no effect in code running in production.
