😇 Sandpack, finishing side projects for charity, and some news :)

Hello there!

I I got promoted; I'm now a Senior Frontend Engineer!!! 😄🥳🎉 This means a lot to me. I genuinely enjoy working with everyone here at Remote and it is amazing that Remote celebrates me as well!

Also, we've got React Conf this week—check out the different talks that they've got lined up! 😍

📚 To read

• Introducing Sandpack — CodeSandbox Blog After their soft launch with the new React Docs (Beta), I'm so glad this one was released! WIll be adding to sreetamdas.com super soon!

• Dusty Domains: Dust off that unused domain for good — Netlify Blog Finally finish that side project or ship that silly idea you've been noodling on, and Netlify, PlanetScale and Hasura will donate $150 to charity!

• A Big Elixir Refactoring — Devon Estes "Refactoring in Elixir is wonderful! It might be slightly more verbose than in some other languages, but each step in the refactoring is simple and explicit. Error messages are helpful, and there wasn't a single difficult step. In my eyes, more simple things is preferable to fewer complex things, and this refactoring confirmed my existing beliefs about one of the key benefits of Elixir: changing existing code is very easy."
