Hey Ben, Thanks for AMA. My question is simple. While api's of some new technologies in React ecosystem are changing rapidly, what is the best approach to learn the entire ecosystem (I mean Flux, Relay, GraphQL etc.) and keep pace with their development ? Would be great if you answer this question both for complete beginners and intermediate developers?

Yeah! Great idea. Makes sense.

This is great article. These kind of problems are common. What he said in the post are really good tips. IMO, one cannot ignore them. I remember I too faced it at some point. What helped me most is self awareness. Be honest with yourself and talk a lot about your thoughts and feelings to your best mentors/friends (who are like mentor). Also talking to somebody who is better than or senior to me also helped. Remember there are multiple levels of Self-awareness. The more you are aware of yourself and bond to your values the better you would be able to justify the situation and take decisions. I am lucky to have a friend who is both a good doctor and a great mentor. When in Self Doubt I go and talk to him. Just the talking helps a lot.

Hey Juho, My 2 cent suggestion. I think it would be great if you include questions like What made you so good at JavaScript? How and what did it take to reach to the position you are today? What advice do you give to someone who wants to be in your position/do what you are doing today? I mean some questions that inspire and motivate readers to push their limits and challenge their beliefs. :-) .

My $0.02 suggestion. If emails are not very important I suggest you don't check emails, better stay away from email till afternoon. If you can reschedule meetings to afternoon then you should do that too. The will power meter would be high in the morning. You can devote that for doing your most important creative work. Emails and Meetings in the morning eats away your will power and you'll remain with less energy and will power by the time you start programming. Do the most important work of the day in the morning. Ask this question when you wake up "What is the ONE Thing I should do today, such that by doing it, everything else becomes easier or unnecessary?"(from the book 'The ONE Thing'). When you ask this you will know what is most important task for the day. Get that done first thing in the morning. You will feel better. Personally in the morning I do little meditation, list down my 5-6 most important tasks for the day and start doing them. During the work I can use Gmail, Facebook and other social media website for 15 minutes only and they are blocked automatically after that time. I use StayFocusd chrome extension. Hope this helps :-) .
