💛 FUN FUN FUNCTION
Since 2015, Fun Fun Function (FFF) is one of the longest running weekly UA-cam shows on programming 🏅 thanks to its consistency and quality reaching 200,000+ developers.
🤦‍♂️ The Failing Together concept is what makes FFF unique. Most coding content out there focus on step-by-step tutorials. We think tutorials are too far removed from what everyday development is like. Instead, FFF has created a completely new learning environment where we grow from failure, by solving problems while intensively interacting with a live audience.
Tutorials try to solve a problem. Failing Together makes you grow as a developer and coworker.
📹 Each show is recorded live on Twitch in a 2-hour livestream on Mondays. The host, assisted by the audience, is tasked to complete a programming challenge by an expert guest. Like in the real world, we often fail, and learn from it. This, of course, reflects what the audience identifies with, and is one of the most praised aspects of the show.
⏯ On Fridays, an edited version of the show is adapted for and published on UA-cam.
Content Topics revolve around: JavaScript, Functional Programming, Software Architecture, Quality Processes, Developer Career and Health, Team Collaboration, Software Development, Project Management

When working remotely there's definitely the need to leave that space more often. A company that enforces this with a remote-first culture really helps to make this a habit quickly with new employees.

As a Brazilian, can totally confirm how useful being able to ask for the check in a busy and loud restaurant is.

[@funfunfunction]

It really is!

[@k-yo]

Right on!! Brazilian here too.

Definitely struggling a bit with the same issues on my team. I've probably spoken more on Skype, TeamSpeak and Discord so the different way of communicating seems natural to me. Others who aren't so accustomed to that will just keep on talking and lose their focus when someone rightfully interrupts them. You kinda have to learn to talk a bit over each other.

These are some really great tips, and I couldn't think of a better time for you to have shared these ideas. Thanks a lot for another great video.
