Bouwe.IO and RichStone.IO identified common focus blocks and creation obstacles and devised a set of solutions to get yourself unlocked. If that doesn't help you, it should at least give you some tools to get started and experiment with something new.
Social media is not always fun but as developers it's also a learning tool and a way to socialize. You can keep focused on Twitter too, even if it seems like the SM world (and sometimes your brain) is imploding.

In this episode, Bouwe and Rich discuss and give some guidelines on how to make testing more useful and (who knows!) more fun.
As a developer, writing tests is a necessity. It automates the confidence that our code (or our app) works now, and will keep on working. And if you use TDD, it can even guide you in structuring code well. However, despite these benefits, many developers consider testing to be a necessary evil, sometimes not even useful, and definitely not fun. So let's talk about how we can make testing more useful and even perhaps fun, by deciding WHAT and HOW to test.

As a developer, what is it like to have a kid that's interested in learning programming? And how is their journey different from ours? And which role does AI play in this?
Meet Flutter Virtuoso Stephan Veenstra, with whom we talk about code, kids, and the joys and challenges of raising (and being) a future programmer.

TypeScript can be confusing, especially for beginners. In this episode, we won't really dive into the language and syntax, but rather take a step back and answer questions like: What does (and doesn't) TypeScript do for you? What are the benefits for using it, for you, the users of your app, and your career? After listening to this episode you are (even more) ready for the deep dive into the wizardry of TypeScript.

API and OAuth Authentication on Rails with @BorjaGVO.
Adding authentication can be a bit of a blocker because it's barely part of the framework. And once we get into offering a public API, it becomes a whole other story where you have yet again a multiplied amount of possibilities than just Devise and Co.

We'll explore different remote setups for different situations.
Different tools are good for different ways of working, like casual sync, pair programming, or knowledge sharing.
Tools include VSCode, IntelliJ, Zoom, CodePen, and more with some practical tests to see how to use them in different situations.
This is also a preparation for one of our next curious coder's session which will be coding heavier.
