The 5-Minute Startup CTO #27

Radical candor, Frontend performance, One last review of 2019

Here are your picks for this week:

👩‍💻 It’s all about People

The concept of Radical Candor is (rightfully) a popular one, so great to see it applied to software development: code reviews, design reviews, etc. Well worth a read!

⌨️ If it ain’t code, don’t fix it

First impressions matter - and your cool new product will only be better received for providing a fast user experience.

Vitaly Friedman has a thorough primer on frontend performance. A pretty long read, but worth going through this checklist to make sure you’ve got that area covered.

💡 Ideas of the year

It’s nearly mid-January, so just about time for one last ‘review of the year’... This one from FirstRound.com, a collection of their 30 best pieces of advice to entrepreneurs from 2019. See what feels most relevant to you, and here’s to a great 2020!

I hope you enjoyed this.

Have a great week
