YouTube Show Notes Introduce our panel: Eric Brandes, CTO and Cofounder of TrackJS JavaScript Error Monitoring. @BrandesEric Lemon, Builder of Internet things, President for Life of TheFPlus podcast, and web developer. @ahoylemon Main Topic: Work/Life Balance and Keeping Sanity Entering the dev workforce from college or previous line of work Culture shock of new work Wanting to make a good impression by working harder, longer Moments that challenge work/life balance Challenging / crucial projects Working toward promotion Getting married and/or getting a pet Children(!) Health issues Working remotely / work always available Creating a good work/life balance Keeping an exercise routine Leaving the office on time Taking vacations before burnout Common mistakes Working too much Working through burnout Taking on too much work Personal experiences (Guests and hosts talk about life-changing work/life balance events) Takeaways Working More hours isn't the answer. Just start. Physical Activity Where do you derive happiness? Games, Social Media makes you angry and burn out

Panelists Susan Greve, QA at Target, Formerly a Recruiter at DevJam Sarah Cooke, Customer Engineering at Kipsu, Prime Digital Academy graduate Emily Schweiss, Operations at Treehouse TalentPath Apprenticeship platform Web News (Todd) https://www.techspot.com/news/79848-hertz-hits-accenture-32-million-lawsuit-over-failed.html Main Topic: Getting a Job in Tech How do you find the right organization for you to join? Sarah was worried about burnout with a startup, but saw good signs from current employees Susan: Target had tons of smart people that i could learn from Emily: Treehouse saw me as an active expert in the community already and supported the causes that i believed in--breaking into tech for disadvantaged communities. Not being a jerk. And being active in the community David: jobs for phases of life: getting started, tired of corporate, making a difference and following the dream. I knew people there, and they were super proud to be part of it. How to make them interested in you? Emily: Being active in the community, and not being a jerk, sometimes the company will seek you out. Susan: building a personal brand, being known in the community, and being connected. Being in a community is like interviewing all the time. Personal brand: blogging, twitter, volunteer for organizations, show off who you are. You got an interview! Now what? What to make sure they know? What you should learn about them? Sarah: I knew who i was talking to, so I could ask more pointed questions and know what to expect. There was multiple levels of interviews, each with its own focus. Supportive environment An evolution of the employee role. Show all my skills to offer: focus to learn, enthusiasm, and other business skills. Susan: Come from startup-feel, where people come as their full-selves, and i was worried that that would be “abbreviated” in a bigcorp. What sucks about this job? Culture: I want to be on a “product team”. Someone who owns a product and helps us drive it forward. Culture: building things with humility, avoiding ego. Emily: Highlight skills you already have from non-tech things and using tech. You probably know a lot about how stuff works. Be your own gatekeeper -- dont share skills that you dont want to do. David: How much overtime is worked/expected? Red Flags-What to look out for Emily: What’s your favorite part of working here… crickets? Leave David/Todd: Long hours, Susan: I don’t want to be the token diversity hire. They need to speak to how this is going to happen. Negotiating Compensation Emily: its more than the salary. “ i have a lot of cats to pay for” Tech companies have lots of other ways to compensate you Training allowances for conferencs, training, books, that I get to choose. Time Off, Flex schedule, working from home Dont be afraid to push back when asked for a number. Sarah, Have a really specific range, more than your baseline. The range will be a conversation point. David: Dont be afraid to ask for more once youre in a role. Recruiters How can you tell the difference between a LinkedIn/copy-paste-hope recruiter and one that really cares and did their homework? What are your thoughts on the state of recruitment? Emily: which people are coming to events and engaging with communities. Meet with a few and understand what you want. Susan: bad ones don’t know you, understand whats appropriate for your background. ##Takeaways David: Advocate for yourself, compensation Sarah: networking and your personal brand. MplsJrDevs https://mplsjrdevs.com/ Susan: Conversations about salary help everyone be paid more fairly. Emily: Community is like interviewing all the time.

News! https://www.theregister.co.uk/2019/04/01/npm_layoff_staff/ Static Typing in JavaScript What is the problem with the existing JavaScript Type System? I have strings, booleans, objects, numbers, arrays… what more do you need? Trusting what the code does, trusting what the team does. How can we enforce type safety in JavaScript? Transpiler checks: TypeScript and Flow Both have type definitions that must be published for dependencies People feel comfortable for different reasons, flow feels more like javascript, typescript has better windows support. What other advantages do we get from using types? (Paul) Failing faster (Paul) Fail faster during TDD. (Mat - You can also possibly eliminate some tests by encoding meaning with types) (Paul) Your future self won’t hate your present self (encode more meaning.) (Paul) “Help Me (IDE) Help You” … IDE integrations, TS LS refactoring (Paul) Less tests needed as whole chunks are “safe” (Mat) Safe assumptions made by tools/code generators (Types enable Tools) Why would someone not want to use a tool? An upfront time investment is required Some gaps with full DOM API How do we decide between them? (Mat) Gettings teams up-to-speed (good or bad depending on team background) (Paulo) Nowadays is easy for one to decide for TS, because its huge adoption and community + more types libraries types available. (Paulo) For simple static type check, flow would be better option. (Mat) TS alternative would be //ts-check and/or tsdoc (Paulo) In the past, Type Inference using Flow was better, but it looks like is not anymore. (Mat) Edge case - Flow can type nested React components, TS cannot Big win - generating types from graphql :) What is the “cost” of using these tools? (David) Making a small, seemingly innocuous change can trigger a Flow massacre; can take hours to fix. (Paul) You have to think first. Writing down the shape of your props, or state, or whatever can be irritating. (Mat) Getting teams up to speed - upfront cost for learning/training - downstream benefits guarding against large codebase regression (Paul) You’re almost guaranteed to have build-tool-version pain, or @types skew pain, etc. (Paulo) When working with flow, you don't feel like writing another language, even though TS is a super set of JS, but it can scare away beginners. TS lock you down to a new ecosystem, where in flow you still can use your old babel. ##Panelists Mat Warger Paul Everitt Paulo Griiettner ##Hosts Todd Gardner DavidWalsh This episode is sponsored by TrackJS JavaScript Error Monitoring.
