I think this kind of thing comes only with experience. Large amounts of experience.

There are simply too many factors to consider. The team, the client, the project.

I usually follow this rule: take the worst case scenario estimate and then double it :)

Well, it can be you simply aren't accustomed to working in very bureaucratic and slow environments. You either go with the flow or switch jobs.

I am toxic myself and I also have problems with it. So I try to constantly "monitor" what I am saying and how I am feeling. Sometimes it just helps to say to yourself "stop, don't overreact" and to force yourself to calm down. Sometimes we make situation out of no situation.

My personal list:

Interesting, challenging projects

Certain amount of freedom when choosing tools/frameworks

Acknowledgment from management

Treat me well

I thought this article would be about people streaming on twitch and receiving donates.

Because let's be honest, it wasn't really gaming that paid off in this case, but programming and hard work.

I think what author meant here is order of those compiled files. For example, when 'media_queries.css' comes before 'main.css', those media queries will be most likely overwritten.

I am using React and all the trendy tooling for my personal projects, even if it's just a simple website. Why? Because that's an opportunity for me to learn new stuff.

I can't use React at work, but I don't want to stagnate either. That's why I'll always be using the most ridiculous trendy technologies for side projects.

I do think that's how most of frontend developers live nowadays.

"It runs on Mozilla's Firefox OS platform and lets you make calls, ask for directions and browse the web. So when you're heading out to grab dinner with friends, you can leave your smartphone at home and avoid the temptations of Facebook, Twitter and Snapchat."

I don't understand these two sentences at all. If you can browse the web, how does it help "avoid the temptation"?

It's a nice looking round thingy, but "anti-smartphone"?..
