State Of JS 2022 tl;dr: "We saw a continuation of performance-lead innovations, many in reactivity and hydration (or the lack thereof). For example, Svelte took on simplicity in developer ergonomics and leaned into the compiler. Solid’s explored new approaches to reactivity, while Qwik shifted our mental model with resumability."

Why Flow Matters More Than Passion tl;dr: "In flow, obstacles that would cause anxiety are perceived differently, and people have more resolve to push through a task." Managers can help engineers reach flow by: (1) Creating a "clarity of purpose." (2) Set "challenging but not impossible" work. (3) Providing a sense of ownership over work. (4) Provide feedback quickly. (5) Compensate fairly. (6) Believe in their abilities.

Mistakes I’ve Made As An Engineering Manager tl;dr: (1) Thinking people give feedback the way they want to receive it. (2) Trying to do everything yourself as a manager is the best way to help. (3) Communicating something one time is enough. (4) You have to have everything together all the time.
