JP Moery shares his top three productivity hacks for the new year featuring advice from Andy Frisella, Kseniya Martin, and Tim Ferriss.             Transcript: Hello and welcome to JP Moery's Association Hustle Podcast. President of The Moery Company, JP's mission is to arm today's associations with insight and strategy to thrive in a progressively complex and competitive business landscape. Twenty-first century associations must move forward with a little bit of hustle and revenue development at their core. Here's JP. For today's podcast I have three productivity hacks that I've received from other individuals that have helped me tremendously and I want to give them credit. The first is the Power 5 List from Andy Frisella, who has the MFCEO Project Podcast that I learn a great deal from. By the way, you should go download some of those episodes, they're very profane but I think very focused and very motivational. Five things that no matter what your schedule is or what you have in place or the number of meetings that you might have... What are the five things that you should do every day no matter what? And if you do all five, it's a win. Let me give you my Power 5 as an example.  Work out.  Bible study and a 10 minute meditation. I have found meditation and Bible study so helpful to me.  Thank you notes. I write one to at least one person a day.  Twenty contacts with clients or prospects about the company or opportunities that we see and to do business together.  Tell my family that I love them. Those are the five things that, no matter what happens and I do those five things, it's been a good day. I also write down, in my journal, those five things. Did I finish them or not? And, if I did, that means that day was a win. The second productivity hack is selecting a theme for 2020, or a theme for the new year. I got this from our Communications Director, Kseniya Martin. I found it to be so helpful that I've already developed my theme for 2020 and I'll tell you about it in a few moments. But first I want to give you a little context on what this all means. Pick one word that will be your theme, your North Star, or a specific focus for the year or a select time frame ahead. The word, or theme, can be focus, motivate, sober, prey, health, action, lead, etc. One-word themes that will become the filter and stay at the top of your mind and dictate your activity, your program, your priorities, your action. And it will from year to year. As an example, my focus is on business. Over the last ten years I've spent much of my time in the business: selling, doing client work, working on things inside of the business instead of on the business. And now, as The Moery Company goes into its next decade, it's really important for me to work on the business. That means working at our pricing structure, looking at new services, considering collaboration or partnerships, or buying new companies, dropping or renewing new clients, communicating the culture to our team, making sure that we have the right people on the bus and in the right seats. Much of my focus in 2020 is going to be on business. Now, that doesn't mean that I won't still be doing some of this client work or I won't be doing some proposals or working with my colleague Mike Thomas on some of those things. But be clear, the theme is on business in 2020, at least for JP Moery. So, what's your theme? Make it an action word if possible. The third, and final item, is conducting a calendar audit. I received this from Tim Ferriss from his Tools of Titan's book. First, look at your calendar for the entire previous year to conduct an audit of the things that you spent most of your time on. For me it's very easy because my colleague Amanda McMahon and I work on my calendar, and frankly, every minute of the day is allocated to something. So then, what you'll do grab a piece of paper and list on one side all of the pos...

  Many people get struck by the question from private lenders about utilizing their right to charge penalties for late payments and to which extent. Two of the facts to remember are there is a late payment after the grace period legally stated in a signed contract, and the promissory note backed by the deed of trust fully allows the lender to charge a penalty. Today, we dive deeper into defining, utilizing, and threatening penalties for borrowers who are late on their payments. Off the topic, we will also reveal why you should start listening to The MFCEO Project Podcast by Andy Frisella. — Listen to the podcast here: Late Penalties And Why You Need To Enforce Them Penalties For Late Payments Plus Why I Listen To The MFCEO Project Podcast By Andy Frisella Let’s go ahead and jump right into our topic which is going to be about defining, utilizing and threatening penalties for borrowers who are late on their payments. If most of my payments from my loans are due on the first of the month, there’s going to be a three to five-day grace period after which they haven’t paid, the payment is considered late. There’s normally a percentage of that payment, a penalty like 5% or 10% for example. We’ll get into the legal aspects of it, but to explain what we’re going to do now, I want to put it out there. There’s a late payment after the grace period. Legally by contract, by the documents, the promissory note backed by the deed of trust allows the lender to charge the penalty. There was a question of when to use them and it struck me oddly because my immediate answer was always. If I miss a payment, I get dinged somehow in some way, whether it is a credit card or mortgage, a car payment or any agreed installment payment. If I don’t make it, I get dinged. I was like, “Why wouldn’t you think about that?” “I’ve made this loan to a friend.” I’m like, “There you go,” it was a friend first and that’s the basis of the loan. What’s the number one pillar? Never lend any money to a friend or family member who is in need, but rather give them the money without the expectation of it being paid back. These are the contingencies you have to plan for and the stresses you can mitigate ahead of time by to rules and not loaning to friends. If it’s a good deal, set them up with somebody that's willing to lend or someone that it might be a symbiotic relationship. It’s like doctors don’t operate on their own family. I take that same approach with lending because people get funny about money. It certainly can. Oftentimes, we do. Right there is that rule why the pillar comes into place for me. “Do I always follow it?” “No.” We all got that one family member, that one friend we break the rules for. It's not a judgment. It's a reality. If you go into your lending armed with this attitude, then it’s easier not to feel guilty because you’ve set up your parameters. Those parameters are agreed to and then the other party fails to live up to it, you get to do what is allowable by contract. That includes not just a foreclosure but charging for late payments. Let’s go ahead and jump into the legality issue of this. I’ve only done this in the state of Texas. I only am speaking from the state of Texas. Wherever you are, I will defer to an attorney who's licensed with your state bar who does real estate transactions as their primary mode of earning money. This is why having several attorneys on your team is good. Penalty Rates: How Much To Charge? Oftentimes, we take what attorney say as the gospel, much like a doctor or unfortunately like a weatherman. When those things don’t pan out the way we were told, we get upset and we blame them. It’s one thing to keep in mind, but it’s not a reason not to use attorneys. They’re going to be the closest to the court cases. They’re going to have the access....

Panel: Lucas Reis Justin Bennett Charles Max Wood Special Guest: Kent C. Dodds In this episode, the panelist talk with today’s guest, Kent C. Dodds who works for PayPal, is an instructor, and works through open source! Kent lives in Utah with his wife and four children. Kent and the panel talk today about testing – check it out! Show Topics: 0:00 – Kendo UI 0:32 – Chuck: Hello! My new show is TheDevRev – please go check it out! 1:35 – Panel: I want all of it! 1:43 – Chuck: Our guest is Kent C. Dodds! You were on the show for a while and then you got busy. 2:06 – Guest.  3:09 – Panel: The kid part is impressive. 3:20 – Guest: Yeah it’s awesome, but the kid part is my wife!  4:09 – Panel: 10 years ago we weren’t having any tests and then now we are thinking about how to write better tests. It’s the next step on that subject. What is your story with tests and what sparked these ideas? 4:50 – Guest. 7:25 – Panel: We have a bunch of tests at my work. “There is no such thing as too many tests” are being said a lot! Then we started talking about unit tests and there was this shift. The tests, for me, felt cumbersome. How do I know that this suite of tests are actually helping me and not hurting me? 8:32 – Guest: I think that is a valuable insight. 11:03 – Panel: What is the make-up of a good test? 11:13 – Guest: Test every line – everything! No. 11:19 – Chuck: “Look at everything!” I don’t know where to start, man! 11:30 – Guest: How do you avoid those false negatives and false positives. 15:38 – Panel: The end user is going to be like more of integration test, and the developer user will be more like a unit tester? 16:01 – Guest: I don’t care too much of the distinction between unit and integration tests. 18:36 – Panel: I have worked in testing in the past. One of the big things that fall on the users’ flow is that it’s difficult b/c maybe a tool like Selenium: when will things render? Are you still testing things in isolation? 19:33 – Guest: It depends. When I talk about UI integration testing I am still mocking the backend. 23:10 – Chuck: I am curious, where do you decide these are expensive (so I don’t want to do too many of them), but at what point is it worth it to do it? 23:30 – Guest mentions the testing pyramid. 28:14 – Chuck: Why do you care about confidence? What is confidence and what does it matter? 28:35 – FreshBooks! 29:50 – Guest. 32:20 – Panel: I have something to add about the testing pyramid. Lucas talks about tooling, Mocha, JS Dong, and more! 33:44 – Guest: I think the testing pyramid is outdated and I have created my own. Guest talks about static testing, LINT, Cypress, and more! 35:32 – Chuck: When I was a new developer, people talked about using tests to track down bugs. What if it’s a hairy bug? 36:07 – Guest: If you can, you can use this methodical approach... 39:46 – Panel: Let’s talk about the React library for a little bit? Panel: Part of the confidence of the tests we write we ask ourselves “will it stand the test of time?” How does the React Testing library go about to solve that? 41:05 – Guest. 47:51 – Panel: A few more questions. When you are getting something and testing and grabbing the label by its text have you found that to be fragile? Is it reasonably reliable? 48:57 – Guest: Yeah this is a concern and it relies on content. 53:06 – Panel: I like this idea of having a different library. Sometimes we think that a powerful tool is better, but after spending some time with other tools that’s not always the case. 54:16 – Guest: “You tie your hands to free your mind.” It does less but what it does less it does better. 55:42 – Panel: I think that with Cypress, too? 55:51 – Guest: Yeah that’s why Cypress is great to use. 57:17 – Panel: I wrote a small library here at work and it deals with metrics. I automated all of those small clicks – write a bit – click a bit – and it was really good. I felt quite efficient. Those became the tests. 57:58 – Panel: One more question: What about react Native? That comes up a lot. At looking at testing libraries we try to keep parody between the two. Do you have any thoughts on that? 58:34 – Guest talks about React Native. 1:00:22 – Panel: Anything else?

Panel: Lucas Reis Justin Bennett Charles Max Wood Special Guest: Kent C. Dodds In this episode, the panelist talk with today’s guest, Kent C. Dodds who works for PayPal, is an instructor, and works through open source! Kent lives in Utah with his wife and four children. Kent and the panel talk today about testing – check it out! Show Topics: 0:00 – Kendo UI 0:32 – Chuck: Hello! My new show is TheDevRev – please go check it out! 1:35 – Panel: I want all of it! 1:43 – Chuck: Our guest is Kent C. Dodds! You were on the show for a while and then you got busy. 2:06 – Guest.  3:09 – Panel: The kid part is impressive. 3:20 – Guest: Yeah it’s awesome, but the kid part is my wife!  4:09 – Panel: 10 years ago we weren’t having any tests and then now we are thinking about how to write better tests. It’s the next step on that subject. What is your story with tests and what sparked these ideas? 4:50 – Guest. 7:25 – Panel: We have a bunch of tests at my work. “There is no such thing as too many tests” are being said a lot! Then we started talking about unit tests and there was this shift. The tests, for me, felt cumbersome. How do I know that this suite of tests are actually helping me and not hurting me? 8:32 – Guest: I think that is a valuable insight. 11:03 – Panel: What is the make-up of a good test? 11:13 – Guest: Test every line – everything! No. 11:19 – Chuck: “Look at everything!” I don’t know where to start, man! 11:30 – Guest: How do you avoid those false negatives and false positives. 15:38 – Panel: The end user is going to be like more of integration test, and the developer user will be more like a unit tester? 16:01 – Guest: I don’t care too much of the distinction between unit and integration tests. 18:36 – Panel: I have worked in testing in the past. One of the big things that fall on the users’ flow is that it’s difficult b/c maybe a tool like Selenium: when will things render? Are you still testing things in isolation? 19:33 – Guest: It depends. When I talk about UI integration testing I am still mocking the backend. 23:10 – Chuck: I am curious, where do you decide these are expensive (so I don’t want to do too many of them), but at what point is it worth it to do it? 23:30 – Guest mentions the testing pyramid. 28:14 – Chuck: Why do you care about confidence? What is confidence and what does it matter? 28:35 – FreshBooks! 29:50 – Guest. 32:20 – Panel: I have something to add about the testing pyramid. Lucas talks about tooling, Mocha, JS Dong, and more! 33:44 – Guest: I think the testing pyramid is outdated and I have created my own. Guest talks about static testing, LINT, Cypress, and more! 35:32 – Chuck: When I was a new developer, people talked about using tests to track down bugs. What if it’s a hairy bug? 36:07 – Guest: If you can, you can use this methodical approach... 39:46 – Panel: Let’s talk about the React library for a little bit? Panel: Part of the confidence of the tests we write we ask ourselves “will it stand the test of time?” How does the React Testing library go about to solve that? 41:05 – Guest. 47:51 – Panel: A few more questions. When you are getting something and testing and grabbing the label by its text have you found that to be fragile? Is it reasonably reliable? 48:57 – Guest: Yeah this is a concern and it relies on content. 53:06 – Panel: I like this idea of having a different library. Sometimes we think that a powerful tool is better, but after spending some time with other tools that’s not always the case. 54:16 – Guest: “You tie your hands to free your mind.” It does less but what it does less it does better. 55:42 – Panel: I think that with Cypress, too? 55:51 – Guest: Yeah that’s why Cypress is great to use. 57:17 – Panel: I wrote a small library here at work and it deals with metrics. I automated all of those small clicks – write a bit – click a bit – and it was really good. I felt quite efficient. Those became the tests. 57:58 – Panel: One more question: What about react Native? That comes up a lot. At looking at testing libraries we try to keep parody between the two. Do you have any thoughts on that? 58:34 – Guest talks about React Native. 1:00:22 – Panel: Anything else? It’s fascinating to talk about and dive-into these topics. When we talk about confidence that is very powerful, too. 1:01:02 – Panelist asks the last question! 1:01:38 – Guest: You could show them the coverage support.

Panel: Chris Fritz Charles Max Wood In this episode, the panel consists of Chris and Charles who talk about developer freedom. Chuck talks about his new show called The DevRev. The guys also talk about time management, answering e-mails, being self-employed, and their goals/hopes/dreams that they want to achieve in life. Check it out! Show Topics: 0:00 – Advertisement – Kendo UI 0:30 – Chuck: Hi! Today our panel is Chris and myself. My new show is The DevRev. There is a lot of aspect of our job that boil down to freedom. Figure out what they like to do and eliminate the things that they don’t like to do. I think it will be 5x a week and I will have a guest every week. What does freedom mean to you? What is your ideal coding situation where you don’t starve? 2:10 – Chris: Let me take a step-back. Why I got into coding it was even before that and it was education. I wanted to work with schools and not necessarily tied to only one school. As a programmer I cannot be asked to do things that I don’t agree with. 3:21 – Chuck: A lot of this thought-process came up b/c of my initial steps into my self-employment. I wanted to go to my son’s activities. I saw freelancing as an option and then had to do that b/c I got laid-off. I hate being told what to do. I have an HOA in my neighborhood and I hate it. They tell me when and how to mow my lawn. This is how I operate it. I hate that they tell me to mow my lawn. I want to talk to people who I want to talk to – that’s my idea of freedom. Everyone’s different idea of what “freedom” is will be different. 5:36 – Chris: I want more time to create more free stuff. Chris talks about DEV experience. 6:28 – Chuck: How did you get to that point of figuring out what you want to do? 6:44 – Chris: I still am figuring that out. I do have a lot of opportunities that are really exciting for me. It’s deciding what I like at that moment and choosing what I want to do vs. not what is going to wear me down. I don’t want to die with regret. There is a distinction between bad tired and good tired. You weren’t true to what you thought was right – and so you don’t settle easy. You toss and turn. I want to end with “good tired” both for the end of the day and for the end of my life. 8:00 – Chuck: I agree with that and I really identify with that. 8:44 – Chris: How do you measure yourself? 8:54 – Chuck: It’s hard to quantify it in only one idea. It’s hard to measure. I list out 5 things I need to do to get me closer to my [one] big goal. I have to get those 5 things done. Most of the time I can make it and I keep grinding on it before I can be done. 9:51 – Chris: My bar is pretty low. Is there more joy / more happiness in the world today in the world b/c of what I’ve done today? I know I will make mistakes in code – and that hurts, no day will be perfect. I try to have a net positive affect everyday. 10:53 – Chris: I can fall easily into depression if I have too many bad days back-to-back. 11:03 – Chuck: I agree and I have to take time off if that happens. 11:13 – Chris talks about open source work and he mentions HOPE IN SOURCE, also Babel. 12:23 – Chuck: When I got to church and there is this component of being together and working towards the same goals. It’s more than just community. There is a real – something in common that we have. 12:57 – Chris: Do you think it’s similar to open source? 13:05 – Chuck: You can watch a podcast in-lieu of an actual in-person sermon. In my church community it’s – Building Each Other Up. It’s not the same for when I contribute to open source. 13:43 – Chris: I ask myself: Is it of value? If I were to die would that work help progress the humankind? By the time I die - I will be completely useless b/c everything in my head is out there in other peoples’ heads. 14:35 – Chuck: When I am gone – I want someone to step into my void and continue that. These shows should be able to go on even if I am not around. I want to make sure that these shows can keep going. 15:48 – Chris: How can we build each other up? We want to have opportunities to grow. I try to provide that for members of the team and vice versa. The amount of respect that I have seen in my communities is quite amazing. I admire Thorsten on the Vue team a lot. (Thorsten’s Twitter.) He talked about compassion and how to communicate with each other and code with compassion. That’s better community and better software. You are forced to thin from multiple perspectives. You want to learn from these various perspectives. 17:44 – Chuck: The ideas behind the camaraderie are great. 17:56 – Chris: And Sarah Drasner! 18:38 – Chuck: She probably feels fulfilled when she helps you out (Sarah). 18:54 – Chuck: We all have to look for those opportunities and take them! 19:08 – Chuck: We have been talking about personal fulfillment. For me writing some awesome code in Vue there is Boiler Plate or running the tests. 19:52 – Chuck: What tools light you up? 20:02 – Chris: I am a bit of a weirdo. I feel pretty good when I am hitting myself against a wall for 9 hours. I like feeling obsessed about something and defeating it. I love it. 21:21 – Chuck: The things that make you bang your head against the wall is awful for me. I like writing code that helps someone. (Chris: I like the challenge.) We will be charged up for different things. You like the challenge and it empowers me to help others out. 22:21 – Chris: I like learning more about how something works. I want to save people a lot of work. There has to be a social connection or I will have a hard time even attempting it. 22:52 – Chris: I also play video games where there are no social connections. I played the Witness a few months ago and I loved the puzzles. 23:45 – Chuck: What other tools are you using? 23:57 – Chris: Webpack is the best took for creating the ideal development scenario. 24:47 – Chuck mentions Boiler Plate. 25:00 – Chris: It was built to help large teams and/or large applications.  I built some other projects like: Hello Vue Components & (with John Papa) Vue Monolith Example. 27:07 – Chuck: Anything else that you consider to be “freeing?” 27:13 – Chris: I like working from home. I like having my routines – they make me happy and productive. Having full control over that makes me happy. The only thing I have is my wife and my cat. 28:12 – Chuck: Yeah I don’t miss driving through traffic. 28:44 – Chris: I don’t like to be around people all day. 30:40 – Advertisement: Get A Coder Job! 31:05 – Chris: Online I get a couple dozen people reaching out to me for different things: completely out-of-the-blue. I want to respond to most of those people but... 33:12 – Chuck: If it’s not on my calendar it won’t happen. I will get those e-mails that can be very time consuming. 33:35 – Chris: When they are asking for something “simple” – it’s not always simple. 34:30 – Chuck: I want to help everybody and that can be a problem. 35:02 – Chris: They are reaching out to me and I want to help. 35:56 – Chuck and Chris go back-and-forth. 36:18 – Chris: How do you figure out how to write a short enough response to the email – to only do 30 minutes? 36:44 – Chuck: Can I answer it in one minute? Nope – so it will go into another pile later in the week. I’ve replied saying: Here is my short-answer and for the long-answer see these references. I star those e-mails that will take too long to respond. 37:50 – Chris and Chuck go back-and-forth. 38:06 – Chuck: Your question is so good – here is the link to the blog that I wrote. 38:37 – Chris: I want to document to point people HERE to past blogs that I’ve written or to someone else’s blog. I feel guilty when I have to delegate. 39:35 – Chuck: I don’t have a problem delegating b/c that’s why I’m paying them. Everyone has his or her own role.  40:40 – Chris: Yeah that makes sense when it’s their job. 41:30 – Chuck: I know working together as a team will free me up in my areas of excellence. 41:49 – Chris: I am having a hard time with this right now. 43:36 – Chuck: We are looking for someone to fill this role and this is the job description. This way you can be EXCELLENT at what you do. You aren’t being pulled too thin. 44:19 – Chris: I have been trying to delegate more. 45:04 – Chuck: Yeah I have been trying to do more with my business, too. What do I want to do in the community? What is my focus? What is my mission and values for the business? Then you knock it out of the park! 45:51 – Chris: As a teacher it is really helpful and really not helpful. You are leading and shaping their experiences. You don’t have options to delegate. 46:27 – Chuck: Yeah my mother is a math teacher. 46:37 – Chuck: Yeah she has 10 kids, so she helps to delegate with force. She is the department head for mathematics and she does delegate some things. It’s you to teach the course. 47:18 – Chris: What promoted you to start this podcast? Is it more personal? 47:30 – Chuck talks about why he is starting this new podcast. 48:10 – Chuck: My business coach said to me: write a mission statement. When I did that things started having clarity for me. Chuck talks about the plan for the DevRev! 55:20 – Chris: I am looking forward to it! 55:34 – Chuck: It will be recorded via video through YouTube, too, in addition to iTunes (hopefully). 55:52 – Chris & Chuck: Picks! 55:58 – Advertisement – Fresh Books!

So I am lemon and candy JavaScript! 2:13 – Chuck: We are talking today about...? 2:22 – Chris: He’s talking about “inclusive components” today! 2:41 – Guest: Traveling is very stressful and I wanted something to do on the plane. I’ve done this book, “Inclusive Design Patterns.” If you don’t want to buy the book you can go to the blog. I have been talking with Smashing Magazine. 5:40 – Panel. 5:47 – Guest: I approached Smashing Magazine initially. They didn’t think there was a market for this content at the time. They were very supportive but we will do it as an eBook so our costs our down. At the time, the editor came back and said that: “it was quite good!” We skimmed it but came back to it now and now the content was more relevant in their eyes. I didn’t want to do the same book but I wanted to do it around “patterns.” Rewriting components is what I do all the time. I use Vanilla JavaScript. Backbone.js is the trendy one. 9:52 – Panel: The hard book did it get published? 10:02 – Guest: We are in the works and it’s all in the final stages right now. It has to go through a different process for the print version. 11:54 – Panel. 11:58 – (Guest continues about the editorial process.) 12:09 – Panel: They probably switched to TFS – it’s Microsoft’s. 12:23 – Guest: There was this argument on Twitter about the different processors. 13:35 – Chris: What are the ways that people are breaking accessibility with their code through JavaScript?  13:59 – Guest: The whole premise is that there aren’t a ton of different components that we use. Generally, speaking. Most things we do through JavaScript – it’s just different ways of doing this/that, and hiding things. I am discounting things with Node or other stuff. Most of what we are doing, with interactive design, is showing and hiding. 18:37 – Chris: I have some specialty friends where they tell me where I’ve screwed up my code. For example Eric Bailey and Scott O’Hara but, of course, in very kind ways. What are some things that I can make sure that my code is going to work for many different people. 19:18 – Guest: You have accessibility and inclusive design. People think of accessibility as a check-list and that’s okay but there could be problems with this. 26:00 – Panel: That’s a great guideline. 26:05 – Chris: You talked about ARIA roles and it can be confusing. One side is: I don’t know when to use these and the other side is: I don’t know when NOT to use these so I’m going to use them for EVERYTHING! I guess both can be detrimental. What’s your advice on this topic? 27:00 – Guest: Scott is great and I would trust him to the end of the Earth about what he says. Guest mentions Léonie Watson and her talks about this topic. 29:26 – (Guest continues.) 29:36 – Advertisement – Sentry.io 30:31 – Chris. 30:40 – Guest: There is a lot of pressure, though, right? People wouldn’t blog about this if it wasn’t worthwhile. It doesn’t matter what the style is or what the syntax is. The guest talks about not throwing ARIA onto everything. 36:34 – Aimee: Is this something that was mentioned in the book: people with disabilities and accessibility. 37:28 – Guest: Yes, of course. I think it’s important to make your interfaces flexible and robust to think and include people with disabilities. 39:00 – Guest mentions larger buttons. 40:52 – Panelists and Guest talk back-and-forth. 42:22 – Chris: It’s an accessibility and inclusivity element. I saw a dropdown menu and worked great on certain devices but not others. I could beat this horse all day long but the whole: what happens of the JavaScript file doesn’t load or just accordion options? 43:50 – Guest: It’s the progressive enhancement element. 44:05 – Guest: I think it’s worth noting. I think these things dovetail really nicely. 46:29 – Chris: Did you do a video interview, Aimee, talking about CSS? Is CSS better than JavaScript in some ways I don’t know if this is related or not? 47:03 – Aimee: When I talk about JavaScript vs. CSS...the browser optimizes those. 47:27 – Aimee: But as someone who loves JavaScript...and then some very talented people taught me that you have to find the right tool for the job. 47:29 – Guest: I am the other way around – interesting. 52:50 – Chuck: Picks! 52:55 – Advertisement – Get A Coder Job!

Everyone has his or her own role.  40:40 – Chris: Yeah that makes sense when it’s their job. 41:30 – Chuck: I know working together as a team will free me up in my areas of excellence. 41:49 – Chris: I am having a hard time with this right now. 43:36 – Chuck: We are looking for someone to fill this role and this is the job description. This way you can be EXCELLENT at what you do. You aren’t being pulled too thin. 44:19 – Chris: I have been trying to delegate more. 45:04 – Chuck: Yeah I have been trying to do more with my business, too. What do I want to do in the community? What is my focus? What is my mission and values for the business? Then you knock it out of the park! 45:51 – Chris: As a teacher it is really helpful and really not helpful. You are leading and shaping their experiences. You don’t have options to delegate. 46:27 – Chuck: Yeah my mother is a math teacher. 46:37 – Chuck: Yeah she has 10 kids, so she helps to delegate with force. She is the department head for mathematics and she does delegate some things. It’s you to teach the course. 47:18 – Chris: What promoted you to start this podcast? Is it more personal? 47:30 – Chuck talks about why he is starting this new podcast. 48:10 – Chuck: My business coach said to me: write a mission statement. When I did that things started having clarity for me. Chuck talks about the plan for the DevRev! 55:20 – Chris: I am looking forward to it! 55:34 – Chuck: It will be recorded via video through YouTube, too, in addition to iTunes (hopefully). 55:52 – Chris & Chuck: Picks! 55:58 – Advertisement – Fresh Books!

Show Topics: 0:00 – Advertisement: KENDO UI 0:38 – Chuck: Aimee, Chris, Joe, and myself – we are today’s panel. My show the DevRev is available online to check it out. 1:30 – Guest: Plain ice cream would be frozen milk and that would be terrible. So I am lemon and candy JavaScript! 2:13 – Chuck: We are talking today about...? 2:22 – Chris: He’s talking about “inclusive components” today! 2:41 – Guest: Traveling is very stressful and I wanted something to do on the plane. I’ve done this book, “Inclusive Design Patterns.” If you don’t want to buy the book you can go to the blog. I have been talking with Smashing Magazine. 5:40 – Panel. 5:47 – Guest: I approached Smashing Magazine initially. They didn’t think there was a market for this content at the time. They were very supportive but we will do it as an eBook so our costs our down. At the time, the editor came back and said that: “it was quite good!” We skimmed it but came back to it now and now the content was more relevant in their eyes. I didn’t want to do the same book but I wanted to do it around “patterns.” Rewriting components is what I do all the time. I use Vanilla JavaScript. Backbone.js is the trendy one. 9:52 – Panel: The hard book did it get published? 10:02 – Guest: We are in the works and it’s all in the final stages right now. It has to go through a different process for the print version. 11:54 – Panel. 11:58 – (Guest continues about the editorial process.) 12:09 – Panel: They probably switched to TFS – it’s Microsoft’s. 12:23 – Guest: There was this argument on Twitter about the different processors. 13:35 – Chris: What are the ways that people are breaking accessibility with their code through JavaScript?  13:59 – Guest: The whole premise is that there aren’t a ton of different components that we use. Generally, speaking. Most things we do through JavaScript – it’s just different ways of doing this/that, and hiding things. I am discounting things with Node or other stuff. Most of what we are doing, with interactive design, is showing and hiding. 18:37 – Chris: I have some specialty friends where they tell me where I’ve screwed up my code. For example Eric Bailey and Scott O’Hara but, of course, in very kind ways. What are some things that I can make sure that my code is going to work for many different people. 19:18 – Guest: You have accessibility and inclusive design. People think of accessibility as a check-list and that’s okay but there could be problems with this. 26:00 – Panel: That’s a great guideline. 26:05 – Chris: You talked about ARIA roles and it can be confusing. One side is: I don’t know when to use these and the other side is: I don’t know when NOT to use these so I’m going to use them for EVERYTHING! I guess both can be detrimental. What’s your advice on this topic? 27:00 – Guest: Scott is great and I would trust him to the end of the Earth about what he says. Guest mentions Léonie Watson and her talks about this topic. 29:26 – (Guest continues.) 29:36 – Advertisement – Sentry.io 30:31 – Chris. 30:40 – Guest: There is a lot of pressure, though, right? People wouldn’t blog about this if it wasn’t worthwhile. It doesn’t matter what the style is or what the syntax is. The guest talks about not throwing ARIA onto everything. 36:34 – Aimee: Is this something that was mentioned in the book: people with disabilities and accessibility. 37:28 – Guest: Yes, of course. I think it’s important to make your interfaces flexible and robust to think and include people with disabilities. 39:00 – Guest mentions larger buttons. 40:52 – Panelists and Guest talk back-and-forth. 42:22 – Chris: It’s an accessibility and inclusivity element. I saw a dropdown menu and worked great on certain devices but not others. I could beat this horse all day long but the whole: what happens of the JavaScript file doesn’t load or just accordion options? 43:50 – Guest: It’s the progressive enhancement element. 44:05 – Guest: I think it’s worth noting. I think these things dovetail really nicely. 46:29 – Chris: Did you do a video interview, Aimee, talking about CSS? Is CSS better than JavaScript in some ways I don’t know if this is related or not? 47:03 – Aimee: When I talk about JavaScript vs. CSS...the browser optimizes those. 47:27 – Aimee: But as someone who loves JavaScript...and then some very talented people taught me that you have to find the right tool for the job. 47:29 – Guest: I am the other way around – interesting. 52:50 – Chuck: Picks! 52:55 – Advertisement – Get A Coder Job!

Work Ethic:  The Ultimate Lesson We had an awesome guest this past week on the Good Dad Project Podcast featuring Joe De Sena, founder of the Spartan Races and New York Times Bestselling author of “Spartan Up!” Shawn and I have been trying to find the perfect guest to come on the show and talk about work ethic.  Joe not only talked about work ethic but also how to teach work ethic to our kids.   Work Ethic and Purposeful Suffering Joe shared several ways he teaches work ethic to his own kids.  Some parents listening to this week’s show might cringe at some of the things he said as it relates to “purposeful suffering.”  However, I think his theme on this point was solid!  Parents today can be so incredibly over protective that we shelter our kids from any type of growing pains.  No parent likes to see their kids experience failure, loss, or even really hard work.  However, what we don’t realize is that we are robbing them of critical life lessons that teach work ethic and grit.  If we don’t allow our kids to go through any type of pain and suffering and we throw them a life line at every twist and turn, what are we teaching them?  I think it’s safe to say when we shield them too much from a lesson of grit and failure, we are doing them a disservice.   Teaching Work Ethic Through Example It’s been said time and time again that kids learn the best lessons from the example we teach.  If we want to help our kids understand the value of hard work, we have to show it to them and teach them how to work hard.  Desire and work ethic is one of the most difficult lessons we can instill.  However, we have several opportunities to teach it.   For example, the next time our kid wants something (a new bike, a new video game, an expensive toy, a car, etc.) we have the opportunity to show them how to work for it vs. give it to them.   For example, my eight-year old loves football cards, baseball cards, and gum.  Instead of just buying him whatever he wants, he has learned to work for things so he can buy them himself.  He will sell candy, rice krispy treats, wash cars, or even help with yard work to make a few bucks so he can buy what he wants.  It may sound tough to make him do certain things for simple things like games, baseball cards, and gum, but it’s an excellent way to teach him these lessons now.  Plus, I have noticed that when he buys something with his own money, he takes much better care of it.   Talking Work Ethic on the MFCEO Project Podcast I was recently on the MFCEO Project Podcast with Andy Frisella and Vaughn Kohler (aka “The Pastor of Disaster).  On that episode Andy and I talked about ways we can leverage our kids failures to teach work ethic and grit.  For example, I can’t stand that kids today get trophies and medals for participation.  Awards are meant to be earned and not given.  Don’t get me wrong, we should always point out the effort our kids put out through communication and encouraging words.  However, we should never give out trophies for just showing up.   Awards, trophies, and medals keep kids hungry to keep striving and keep pushing themselves.  If awards like this are just given for showing up, what’s the point in trying your best?   Asking Empowering Questions Teach Work Ethic and Grit When our kids fail, we have a great opportunity to ASK QUESTIONS and not lecture.  For example, if your kid participates in a karate tournament and finishes last, it’s a perfect opportunity to ask them questions to get them thinking about solutions to be better.   You can ask your kid: What did you think of the tournament? If you had it to do over again, what would do different? If you could be better at something specifically with karate, what would be? Your kicks?  Punches?  Speed? What place would you like to finish in the next tournament? What do you think we should do to prepare for the next one so you feel confident?   Questions like this get a kid (and adults) thinking about solutions.  It also helps identify what needs work and what is needed to get better.  Work Ethic and Grit come from knowing what we need to improve and putting in the time and effort to be better.
