![]() If you never find motivation to start working on it, then maybe it’s not such a good idea. If an idea motivates you enough that you will go through with implementing it, then chances are it’s a good idea, or at least you will find out soon. How do you separate good project ideas from bad ones? I watch mostly Youtube for educational and news stuff If I gave you $100 million to invest in one thing right now, where would you put it?ĮS Modules and trying to make better Youtube videos If I gave you $10 million to invest in one thing right now, where would you put it? Because people need to understand why things are free and how to avoid being addicted to such things and being taken advantage of. That almost none of the "free" things (tech) you use these days are really free and usually *you* are the product. If you could teach every 12 year old in the world one thing, what would it be and why? If you had to suggest 1 person developers should follow, who would it be? Some app picks: WebTorrent, VSCode, Wireshark, FFmpeg, Rclone, sshuttle, youtube-dl, ngrokĪnd some npm modules: tldrlegal, license-checker, sharp-cli, pm2, svgo, fkill-cli, meow, json5, eslint I have 100s of npm packages (tools) that I've used over the years and they are all my favorite when it comes to solving their particular problem. Web apps are usually the best choice for everyone unless you have very specific needs that can only be achieved with native code What’s your most controversial programming opinion? You don't have to write your code in Typescript in 2022 ![]() What's an opinion you have that most people don't agree with? Maybe PHP with its low barrier of entry was what took me in this direction initially. I think the fact that I started working with web apps and that JavaScript eventually became such a ubiquitous language has influenced me into investing heavily in that tech. Who or what are your biggest influences as a developer? After going through a lot of different tech stacks, I've now transitioned into working almost exclusively with Javascript: I do backends, embedded software and scripting in Node.js, Web apps in React, Mobile in React Native, and Desktop apps in Electron and this gives me almost unlimited possibilities for any kind of app without changing the mindset too much. Then I started playing video games on my Dad's intel 286 and eventually Visual Basic piqued my interest for programming which I used to create many not-so-useful apps. I've been interested in electronics and technical things since I was crawling around on all four. I grew up in Rælingen, a suburb of Oslo in Norway. Where have you worked in the past, where are you from, how did you learn to program, what languages or frameworks do you like, etc? Hey Mikael! Thanks for joining us! Let’s start with your background.
