Hey Kent,

Thanks for the chance to ask you a question. This is about protected route and 3rd party payment flow, ending in a re-direct back to my website. The user would need to re-login again. How to avoid that?

Making changes on a new team Oct 26, 2021

Show notes

As a designer/developer on a new team, where I'm also the most experienced, but haven't been given the path to recommending change wherever necessary. In other words, I was brought on to be an individual contributor, not specifically a consultant, although it's very obvious in many places that the app lacked a designer, and that the code lacked senior developers. For context, they don't do JavaScript testing because "the team was new when we started and we wanted them to get off and running." So the question is how one can implement change, and be a useful consultant to make the product better for the user, but do so diplomatically. Or does one just do one's job and not make suggestions?

Also, have you found any times that unit testing > RTL?

Magic links require timely email delivery Oct 20, 2021

Show notes

When relying solely on passwordless magic links for signing users in to your application, you make the timely delivery of these links to people's inboxes a critical dependency for using your app. Though unlikely, it's not impossible that a mail service provider experiences an outage blocking your users for logging in. Less dramatic, but equally likely, your application might get throttled which could cause these login emails to arrive after the included links have already expired. What are your thoughts on this?

Pricing low-demand workshops Oct 20, 2021

Show notes

How should I think about pricing a workshop when demand for it is low? I enjoy the topic so I'm happy to teach it, and I want to be paid fairly for my time, but I don't expect to get much re-sale value out of it.
