I'm Umar Hansa, helping to improve developers productivity with courses, blogs, and animated tips. AMA!
One of my most passionate projects is Dev Tips, a mailing list to share animated developer tips and tricks. I also post lots of tips on twitter.
I've made a few DevTools related videos on YouTube, and have a whole course on DevTools too.
I've worked for Shazam, Google, the UK Government, & a few other startups.
I'm currently working on a new course about browser testing and automation.
I'm grateful you're here! Can chat about anything on your mind, but here are some ideas:
- Tech careers (interviewing, doing code challenges, career progression)
- Web development (Node.js, front-end, deployments)
- Side projects (keeping active with personal projects)
- Conferences (public speaking, getting approval to attend conferences)
- Course creation (building a course platform in Node.js, how I make videos)
- Open source (what I'm working on)
- Productivity (developer tricks, the tools I use)
- Web Performance (common performance pitfalls, using DevTools to debug perf)
- Blogging (how to get started, how to get paid, how to research)
- Volunteering (staying grounded by helping others)
AMA starts on 4th Sept 2020 at 6 PM GMT.
