Tras este tweet que publiqué

He sido freelance, emprendedor y trabajo desde hace años para empresas USA de diversos tamaños en remoto como programador fullstack. Ahora en GitHub. Si puedo ayudar a alguien en orientar su carrera, mis DMs están abiertos. Ask me anything.

he recibido muchos mensajes y escribo aquí algunos de los consejos que he dado en resumen. Nota: algunas cosas son concretas de trabajar en España. Si vas a trabajar desde Sudamérica sólo una nota: tienes la ventaja de la zona horaria para trabajar con EEUU.

Inglés

Tener un buen nivel de inglés es fundamental para poder trabajar con clientes extranjeros. El conocimiento del idioma tiene que mantenerse en el tiempo. Es como mantenerse en forma física; si lo dejas, lo pierdes. Personalmente aunque trabajo 100% en inglés desde hace bastantes años, intento crearme un entorno diario con el idioma para no perderlo:

Meownica's packing list

I travel a lot so I'm down to like 30 minutes of packing per any kind of trip. I always bring one carry-on suitcase for any trips up to 2 weeks (that I never check in unless forced) -- I have an Away suitcase because it's got a built-in (removable) battery, and amazing wheels.

Stuff I wish I'd known sooner about service workers

I recently had several days of extremely frustrating experiences with service workers. Here are a few things I've since learned which would have made my life much easier but which isn't particularly obvious from most of the blog posts and videos I've seen.

I'll add to this list over time – suggested additions welcome in the comments or via twitter.com/rich_harris.

Use Canary for development instead of Chrome stable

Chrome 51 has some pretty wild behaviour related to console.log in service workers. Canary doesn't, and it has a load of really good service worker related stuff in devtools.

Make it useful

• Install Package Control. For SublimeText 2, paste the following in Terminal:

import urllib2,os; pf='Package Control.sublime-package'; ipp = sublime.installed_packages_path(); os.makedirs( ipp ) if not os.path.exists(ipp) else None; urllib2.install_opener( urllib2.build_opener( urllib2.ProxyHandler( ))); open( os.path.join( ipp, pf), 'wb' ).write( urllib2.urlopen( 'http://sublime.wbond.net/' +pf.replace( ' ','%20' )).read()); print( 'Please restart Sublime Text to finish installation')

From here on out, use Package Control to install everything. ⌘+Shift+P, then type Install to get a list of installable packages you can 'livesearch through. After installing plugins, they should be running.
