What I Wish I'd Known About Equity Before Joining A Unicorn

What I Wish I'd Known About Equity Before Joining A Unicorn

Disclaimer: This piece is written anonymously. The names of a few particular companies are mentioned, but as common examples only.

This is a short write-up on things that I wish I'd known and considered before joining a private company (aka startup, aka unicorn in some cases). I'm not trying to make the case that you should never join a private company, but the power imbalance between founder and employee is extreme, and that potential candidates would

Principles we use to write CSS for modern browsers

Recently CSS has got a lot of negativity. But I would like to defend it and show, that with good naming convention CSS works pretty well.

My 3 developers team has just developed React.js application with 7668 lines of CSS (and just 2 !important). During one year of development we had 0 issues with CSS. No refactoring typos, no style leaks, no performance problems, possibly, it is the most stable part of our application.

Here are main principles we use to write CSS for modern (IE11+) browsers:

Top-level `await` is a footgun

Edit — February 2019

This gist had a far larger impact than I imagined it would, and apparently people are still finding it, so a quick update:

  • TC39 is currently moving forward with a slightly different version of TLA, referred to as 'variant B', in which a module with TLA doesn't block sibling execution. This vastly reduces the danger of parallelizable work happening in serial and thereby delaying startup, which was the concern that motivated me to write this gist
  • In the wild, we're seeing (async main(){...}()) as a substitute for TLA. This completely eliminates the blocking problem (yay!) but it's less powerful, and harder to statically analyse (boo). In other words the lack of TLA is causing real problems
  • Therefore, a version of TLA that solves the original issue is a valuable addition to the language, and I'm in full support of the current proposal, which you can read here.

I'll leave the rest of this document unedited, for archaeological

Modern WordPress Theme Development

Development Software

  • VirtualBox - Virtualization software for running local operating systems within your computer. This allows us have a full version of linux within our computers that better match how a live webserver works.
  • Vagrant - A tool for provisioning (creating) virtual machines.
  • VVV - A pre-built, community-supported Vagrant configuration for WordPress development.
  • Git - Version control system for managing code during development. Easily allows for tracking changes, and merging new code into an existing project.
  • SourceTree - A GUI available on Windows and Mac for managing Git projects. This makes Git much easier to use, as we won't have to learn the command line interface.
  • Github.com - A website that provides free Git repositories for both open source and private projects.
  • SASS - (SCSS) A CSS preprocessing implementation that allows us to write much less CSS for a project. This basically makes CSS into a simple programming language.
