I don't really have much advice for learning (people learn in many different ways). I would suggest learning lots of very different topics, even ones that might not seem applicable for what you want to be doing in and out of your job. Different programming topics tend to reinforce one another. Biggest achievement? I have no idea... I'm pretty proud of all the open source work I've been able to do.
These days I'm mostly invited to speak at conferences. I turn down the majority of them because I don't want to overwhelm myself, and I don't think people need to hear me speak that much. When I do submit proposals, it's usually because something has been bothering me and I think a talk is the best way to address it. The best talks are driven by problems the speaker is currently embedded in. I'll need to head to India soon, I love spicy food Safe travels
My comfort zone ends when I stop knowing everyone in the company. While I'm okay being a bit out of my comfort zone, Facebook was way too far out of it. Some people thrive in that environment. I really can't say anything other than it not being the right place for me. I like working with like 20-40 people and being able to jump around and being able to get my hands on everything. I really value being able to just create repos on GitHub and starting new shit. That's what I look for in a job.
Hey Siddharth, my morning is going good so far. Isn't this like 3 am for you? I'm not sure what you mean about CFPs. Are you asking how I write CFPs? Favorite food right now is literally anything Mexican. Mexican food barely exists in Australia and when it does it's crap. I miss the Mexican food in SF so much.
I think Airbnb and others are creating the future right now. They had a demo the other day where they were sketching out UIs on paper and generating mocks using their actual components. I think we're going to see UI development become a lot more about running experiments with designers.
