May 19, 2017The Utility of ESLint
I had a friend help me out on a project last night. His PR had a few
linting issues so I asked him to fix some of them and later saw him on
twitter expressing frustrating that ESLint can get in the way of building
stuff. I agree with him to a point. This is how I feel about ESLint.

May 18, 2017 Adopting prettier-eslint at work
Back in January, James Long introduced
us to his new JavaScript code
formatting tool prettier. It gained
popularity quickly and just two days later I released prettier-eslint. Since then, a bunch of
tooling has been built around these tools to make the experience and
workflow really awesome. I'm excited to say that we're now using it on my
team's project at PayPal!
In this brief, I talk a bit about the challenges we've faced so far
adopting prettier-eslint. Fun stuff!

May 15, 2017Scaling OSS Management
One of my best internet friends Sarah Drasner recently tweeted something really
nice about me:
IMHO the contributions @kentcdodds makes are huge because he teaches
people how to contribute to OSS. That's time investment that scales 🎖
I really appreciated that validation and those kind words and I want to
talk about it a little bit more so here are my thoughts on that.
In addition, here are some resources:
What open source project should I contribute to?
How to Write an Open Source JavaScript Library
MakeAPullRequest.com
First Timers Only
How getting into Open Source has been awesome for me

May 11, 2017 When to use Snapshots 📸 with Jest
I get a lot of questions
about when it's appropriate to use Jest snapshot testing, or why you
wouldn't use snapshots for pretty much everything. This brief is my answer.
If you're unfamiliar with Jest snapshot testing, it's really great and you
can learn about what it is and how it works here.
I hope this is helpful! See you around!
