Take your React beyond the tutorial

React is here to stay. It solves many problems you may not even know existed. These essays are the good stuff I learned over the years.

Learning from tutorials is easy. You follow some steps, learn a smol lesson, and feel like you got dis πŸ’ͺ

Then comes the interview, a real world problem, or a question from the boss. Your mind goes blank. Shit, how does this work again ...

Happens to everyone. Building is harder than recognizing and the real world is a mess! Nothing fits in neat little boxes you learned about in tutorials.

That's where my emails come in – lessons from experience. Building production software :)

Leave your email and get the React email Series - a series of curated essays on building with React. Borne from experience, seasoned with over 12+ years of hands-on practice building the engineering side of growing SaaS companies.
