Any folks from the React team/community who can help shed some light on this issue? I am not sure if you are aware, but the latest React documentation on react.dev is currently inaccessible from within Iraq. This barrier is forcing our developers there to either use outdated documentation or turn to VPNs. While VPNs are a workaround, they introduce several issues such as reduced internet speed, increased latency, less reliable connections with frequent drops, added complexity in setup and management, and potential security risks due to misconfigurations. Currently, the only documentation available without a VPN is from legacy.reactjs.org, which is far from adequate for devs trying to stay up to date. Relying on these older resources further exacerbates the digital divide and prevents our developers from keeping up with the latest advancements in React. It is unclear whether this blockage originates from the React team’s hosting configurations or from regulatory actions by the Iraqi government. Is there a way to determine the source of this issue? Understanding this could help us find the most effective approach to address the problem. I know that as a tech community, we believe in the power of technology to transcend borders and foster an inclusive environment where everyone has the tools they need to succeed. Therefore, I ask the React team/community for support here: I am not sure of the reasons for which react.dev is not accessible from Iraq, but could there be another way to provide these vital resources for the developers of your community? Your support and suggestions would be invaluable as we seek to ensure that all developers - regardless of their location - have equal opportunities for learning and growth.

My favorite thing about our frontend SDKs is that even though the default styling is really nice, you can change them to make it look like whatever you want. Internally, we have a competition to see who can make the most unhinged login UI. See, for reference, Spongeblogin: Try it yourself at authkit.dev, would love to see what folks come up with.

Ever experienced false starts with developers? 🧑‍💻You're not alone. We're currently working on projects where we're the second, even the fourth developer hired. All are on track and in budget. Stay tuned this week for a blog post on how to choose the best dev for your business. Not all dev shops are the same. Take the time to choose the best one for your unique needs. What questions/concerns do you have when hiring a mobile app or custom software development agency? #Development #ChooseWisely #SoftwareDevelopment

Over the past few months I’ve written an extensive tutorial on how to build software applications with Node.js and React. I’m sorry to tell you that this experience didn’t teach me anything about B2B sales, though. But hopefully, it’s still useful for some people out there. From the introduction: The approach of this tutorial is to teach its readers how to build a fully working software application from zero to production. This means two things: 1. You are not required to have done any kind of software development before getting started with this tutorial. It will introduce and explain everything that is needed to build applications in full detail, assuming no prior knowledge or experience. This is the “from zero” part. 2. Building on the foundational knowledge it teaches in the first half, the tutorial will then, step by step, guide you through the process of building a real, full-fledged, and completely working software application, again explaining every detail along the way, and shows how to “deploy” that application — that is, how to make that application available on the Internet for anyone to use. This is the “to production” part. Speaking of B2B sales: I’m afraid you cannot buy this tutorial. That’s because I’m making it available for free, as a series of posts on my blog. The first three parts are already published: https://lnkd.in/e2XCYm3p https://lnkd.in/eW7wUc_d https://lnkd.in/eAU6kgH9 No, you do not need to sign up to my newsletter to get access to the tutorial. That’s mainly because I don’t have a newsletter. Also, no need to follow me (although admittedly, it might help to get you notified whenever I’m publishing a new chapter). Furthermore, please don’t be disappointed if clicking on the tutorial links won’t present you with a cookie banner. That’s because my blog doesn’t use any cookies. No, not even those from Google Analytics, as I’m not using that either. This means I will have no idea how many people will read the tutorial — which makes sense because let’s face it, who is going to consume this kind of long-form, deep-dive technical content nowadays anyway. And in text-only form, of all things! Should you nevertheless decide to dive into the text, expect to learn how to program using JavaScript and TypeScript, how to use these languages to build rock-stable backend applications with Node.js as well as elegant frontend applications with React and Redux, and finally, how publish a complete and integrated software solution on Amazon AWS. Ok, that’s it. If you want to access the bonus chapters, simply subscribe to… — just kidding. There are no bonus chapters. Everything you need to learn to build useful software products is right in the… normal chapters, I guess? Happy reading!

I'm officially flashed (and a bit proud)! 💥💥💥 Last week we organised an internal GameJam/hackathon across our offices. We split the studio across 5 teams, and gave every team a "creative/tech" mission - having business value and achieving a soft goal - soft enough for everyone to break out of it and do their own thing. Each team had 3 days to create an experience. And boy, did they deliver. The outcome? 5 kick ass experiences in totally different areas. I'll start sharing them here with a bit of insights as well. Let's start with the Sub Squad Team! Dennis, Luis & Finn The task: You have a Logitech X 56 HOTAS joystick + throttle. Do something with water. The team ended up going fully immersive, and excelled at different levels. Keep in mind this is just 3 working days of 3 people. The result: A fully working unreal submarine story game. Developed in Unreal Engine 5.3 Submarine control with Logitech X 56 HOTAS joystick + throttle Voiceovers made with 11labs leap motion controlled robot arm, with diffrent mechanics Physical moving plattform controlled by two ESP32's and motors. I'm not easily surprised, but this one really kicks ass! Playable at borabora fabrica in Cologne. #fabrication #unreal #leap

Programming just got a lot more accessible. French AI startup Mistral launched Codestral, its first-ever code-centric AI model. Codestral is a 22B parameter, open-weight AI model designed for code generation tasks. It’s trained on a diverse dataset covering over 80 programming languages—including Python, Java, C++, JavaScript, and more. Mistral’s model excels at completing coding functions, writing tests, and filling in partial code snippets. #AI #coding #techjob

Good insight! This article provides a comprehensive list of 21 HTML tips that are very important for web accessibility and to avoid "divitis" - the overuse of the `<div>` element. I particularly like how the author presents the tips in a concise and easy-to-read cheatsheet format, making it a valuable resource from junior to senior web developers. The tips cover a wide range of HTML elements and best practices, from the proper use of semantic tags like <header>, <nav>, and <footer>, to techniques for improving accessibility, such as adding alt text (when context requires it) to images and ensuring proper heading structure. The author also touches on the importance of using HTML5 elements and avoiding outdated or deprecated tags. Overall, this article is a great resource for anyone looking to improve their HTML skills and create more accessible and well-structured web content. The insights provided are truly valuable for developing high-quality, standards-compliant websites. Even on the conversations is good to follow up! #HTML #WebAccessibility #WebDevelopment https://lnkd.in/e763uf3S
