I don't know about you, but I feel like I've been working non-stop for years now, and I don't know how I'm able to do it. And it's often because I include activities in my daily life that make my work more enjoyable or break up the monotony.
For example:
I exercise every day (and listen to video casts about tech, business, and marketing in the background)
This question is semi-philosophical, but I recall my ex-classmate she had quite rich parents and really didn't need to work. As an only child, she had everything first (all technology, all pricy vacations, they even bought her own flat in 18 + car). Since she had a lot of money from her parents and a lot of free time, she only enjoyed life (some dr*gs and other stuff). As a person, she didn't look like someone who would appreciate money or time at all because it was "normal" to have everything from all above mentioned.
(And I don't want to sound bad, but I honestly don't know what skill she would have that she could use to make a living - the only thing she was really good at was being sassy, which, oddly enough, earned some people's respect.)
Networking is essential to business success. The more we interact with others, the more we become aware of the opportunity for growth. The networking can happen anywhere and be successful. But we have LinkedIn & Twitter (the online networking) it's much more complicated. It has to be strategic, structured and planned, all without going too much into self-promotion or excessive presentations, the best practice is to make yourself known while discovering the others! how do you do it?
Every developer I talk to has the same story. The idea is clear, the stack is decided, but before anything real gets built there's 3 hours of AWS configs, Dockerfiles, environment variables, and CI pipelines that have nothing to do with the actual product.
AI coding tools made writing code faster. Nobody has solved what comes after.

I ve been comparing the workflow of using React Server Components with a more traditional client rendered React setup. Server Components can reduce the amount of JavaScript sent to the browser, but they also change how I think about data fetching and component boundaries. For people building production apps, which approach has fit your workflow better and what tradeoffs have you noticed?
I ve found AI can build a React component quickly, but the difficult part is checking edge cases around loading states, empty data, validation, and responsive layouts. Do you have a specific testing workflow you follow before putting AI generated components into production?
