Will you ever grow your beautiful long hair again?

What is a product you've built that you're really proud of?

What motivated you to start working out consistently? How seriously do you take the food you eat as a part of it? Do you think it helps with your work?

PFFFFFFFFFFTTT Hey Dustin. Long time! http://ryanflorence.com/may24th.mp3 http://ryanflorence.com/nervous_again.mp3 (For anybody following along, Dustin is an old high school friend and loyal fan of Mookie Proofed--my high school band.)

Hey! Good! I'm getting hungry. Sales. You're always selling. We all forget that we are literally selling our labor as suppliers in the labor market. So don't forget to negotiate your salary. You're selling your ideas on how to architect the app, the UX, whatever. You have to be able to sell you and your ideas. I'm glad I started my career in sales. I have a list of what I want to be actually :P Here it is, straight out of my life planner thingy that I built: Present, Kind, and Helpful Spouse Gentle, Fun, and Strong Dad Dependable, and Creative Business Partner Anxiously Engaged Latter-day Saint Physically Active/Capable Charitable

Then came everdimension to him, and said, Ryan, how oft shall my co-worker pass props down a level, and I forgive them? till seven times? Ryan saith unto everdimension, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven. Redux is a great way to get stuff deep too.

I graduated in economics and then sold life insurance before becoming a developer. The cool thing about code is you don't need anybody to give you coding experience, you can get it yourself. Build something awesome, show it off and you'll get interviews, show it off at interviews and with any luck, you'll get a job. ...Hopefully! I've interviewed tons of developers, I loved hiring people who came to us with some enthusiasm about something they had built at work or home that was awesome.

Yeah, that's a hard balance. I think React Router keeps us grounded as technologists instead of just teachers. We have a lot of use-cases that come our way that we have to work out, so we're exposed to all the new stuff and have to figure out how it fits.

Atom. My front-end vim plugins were causing problems and I figured that the cool kids aren't going to be keeping vim stuff up to date, so I went to atom. I'm still sad, I haven't thought about my editor in YEARS, but now I have to whether I'm in vim or atom. I'm mostly adjusted to atom though, vim-mode-plus has closed the uncanny valley enough that I'm productive again w/o thinking about my editor. I hate thinking about my editor!
