Bikepacking Info

Questions for the bikepackers in this channel:

I’d like to try bikepacking before committing to buying all the specialized bags I see on a lot of bikepacking setups. I already have a bike and I’m a backpacker, so I’ve got all the necessary camping gear, and I have a set of small panniers.

I’ve read through this REI guide and this blog post, I’m aware of Yawp Cyclery in Edgewater and follow their socials, and I’m a member of the Front Range Bikepacking Group (@parsonsmatt is one of the organizers!)

If I were only going to buy one soft storage bag for bikepacking, which one do you recommend (or should I just strap dry sacks to my bike)?
What’s a good 1 night route in Colorado? Are there any other groups out there that facilitate trips for newbies?

A list of some options for building a website for your small business

Website Building Options

The most common website builders

If you want to setup an online store

Shopify's Website Builder

  • This would make it easy to setup a payment system using shopify
  • They have lots of themes and I think setting up something that looks good would be do-able

Letter to a New Developer

Dear New Developer,

I know you worked hard to get where you are. You are self-taught, you earned a degree in computer science, or you graduated from a coding bootcamp, and your hard work helped you master the skills required to be a ‘junior’ developer.

Whether you are still searching for your first dev gig, or you’ve been at your first job for a while, you’re probably wondering what it will take for you to be a senior developer. There are lots of factors that contribute to being a ‘senior’, but the most important one is time.

It takes time to become a senior engineer because you are developing what behavioral economist Daniel Kahneman calls ‘Expert Intuition.’ Expert intuition is knowing how the story ends because you’ve read the book many times before. Expert intuition means that you can see a technical problem and you just know how it can be solved. Expert intuition is the difference between a junior and senior developer.

Kahneman says that the [ingredients for this kind of expertise](https://www.
