What Happened to DevTips THIS TIME?? 

Hey, I stuck around after Travis left! lol. Kidding aside, I'm really happy to hear that you are still in the game with DevTips. Very excited to see what the next chapter involves!

Finally, I lived long enough to see Devtips releasing a new video.

Well the channel is labeled tips, so maybe a series of small and easy to digest concepts explained. Would be easier to produce and edit if it's linear and direct. You can also use the guests form FunFunFunction to do a "Dev Tip" on a topic that they are proficient in as well.

Man I would love to see dev tips bring out some content on a full stack application picking the stack working out the details etc

Happy to see a video from DevTips! It would be really nice if you guys would release a website design+development series from start to finish, like Travis made a couple of times.

To answer the question at the end of the video. I'm 25, fresh out of college working for a large saas company, working in vue and building the frontend of a help desk. I am working on my own products, listening to a lot of start up podcasts and trying to see how other people have succeeded as developers and business owners.

Time for a part 2 of "What Happened to DevTips THIS TIME??". Maybe ieatwebsites could take over and continue on where y'all left this. Feel free to reach out to me in the DevTips discord channel as well since we've tried to reach out to y'all.

Thank you for updating us

Basic tutorials about js css html etc we already have. I would like to see how to put it all together and how a front end job really works. Sry for my english. Try to make a video with commiting like in a real job where other people commit too. Just show us how to be prepared for a job! :) THANKS!!

I purchased React JS course from Simplilearn which was not good as expected then I started watching your videos it cleared all my queries and also helped me to build up additional JavaScript knowledge. Great content 👍👍👏👏

Just glad to see that David is doing ok!

Travis, come back ...

I would like to see tips... Dev tips, business tips, agile tips, teamwork tips and so on.

Hi, could you make a video about font units? What is the best practice?

I wish you could do a whole series with Adam Argyle on css and visbug and webdev for designers. Maybe take on guest and make a 3-4 episodes series with them on their topic. One video is definitely not enough to get all the info out of the guest. Cheers!

I would not mind seeing a video on this channel once a month even! Sorry to hear you all are very busy and life got in the way :(

Hello, I'm a student and I like your RU-vid channel. You both are very cool

I would love to see devtips move towards building businesses, so saas or products. Nothing like "how to make money online" haha, but something more like sharing the process of creating products. Just a thought :)

I'll say this, I'm not sure it's right for this channel, but I'd really like to see content from David on his expertise, analytics, etc. I feel like that is kind of lacking. I get that DevTips might not be the best fit, but I think that would be cool in some form.

13:18 "Tchau"? Hahahaha

Make a minecraft mod

Not hiểu tiếng anh :)

Ok. So here’s my take on what’s lacking. When Travis was around, the channel was something close to Programming Vsauce. He looked like Vsauce and had that curiosity kind of feel to it. You guys have that too, but it lacks the “Vsauce format”. Aka face and information edits. Not the 45 minute long videos on a single subject. The other Vsauce thing that Travis had is the assumption that nobody who was watching knew programming on 2nd year CS degree aka loops and things of such. But your 45 minute videos assume that everyone watching knows programming with beyond logic essentials. I do know beyond essentials myself, but there are few new people coming to the channel because you guys are a rifle, not a shotgun. Run far and accurate in one direction, not run wide but quick to stop in multiple directions. That’s what I have

Why did I keep expecting Travis to pop up behind the park bench?

I love the videos where you are coding together to build an application. It is especially good when it is a playlist spanning several videos as it gives a much more complete picture of the development process. Live streaming this and then cutting into edited youtube videos is the way to go in my opinion.

Hi ,so currently I am learning server side development . One thing a possible you can do live stream of making a full stack project or connecting front-end framework with back-end.

Sorry to hear something happened in your family David. Let it be known something happened to mine too not long ago and watching travis and you guys and learning coding has helped a lot with me getting back in track with and what I want to achieve in life. So I hope our love can do the same for you because we enjoy your content and you have some amazing fans. Best wishes man and hope you're getting better

Great to see you back guys. Maybe you should finish the startup series before doing something new

I would love to see more prototyping like you did with the spotify api.

I am a year into being a Junior React Developer and I am subscribed to both DevTips and FunFunFunction I enjoy both channels, maybe you could make DevTips more big picture (incorporating CSS, Design, Dev, etc. together...how it all fits together) and FFF could be more technical and topical, for example talking about typescript and linters. I think you both do a great job and look forward to seeing which direction you both choose for these channels moving forward. I do also enjoy watching MPJ and David pair program. So the business idea is a good one because it could incorporate pieces of all those big picture ideas when you get to each part (An online business needs design, development, and analytics/SEO)

Anyone know channels like the old DevTips on web design/animation/UI stuff? ✌️ I loved when Travis talked about life and stuff. I loved the video where he showed his early work. I loved when MPJ showed his application to Spotify on FFF. I'm 20yo just about to start at uni (interaction design and software development), no real work experience, for a long time been interested in design, and somewhat recently found out the web is really fun. For me, as a novice 🐣, I just want more life stories and being shown scrappy and fun thing to do with web, like regex and webscraping, loved your videos on that. ❤️

sad they did this to this channel, devtips meant so much to me in my early years learniing code/design smh

Glad to see you guys again! In terms of suggestions, I really like the idea of DevTips being about straightforward HTML, CSS, and JS while FunFunFunction is the more dev/tech heavy sister channel

Posted 8 months ago 😭 I LOVED Travis's content, but I also love love love the content you guys have put out on this channel. It's been super helpful to me. Watching you guys build stuff almost feels like a techie version of New Yankee Workshop or something lol. Pure demonstration and inspiration. I think you'd be surprised how many people would be satisfied with just videos of you guys sitting down and figuring stuff out while making something cool.

Please do an episode about SEO. also, i loved the video about Docker

I would like Dev Tips to be about design, CSS, and HTML allowing us to keep current it terms of design and the use of new processes such as SASS. I feel that script, PHP, ect. should be on Fun Fun Function.

Sorry to hear your difficulties David, glad to see you back. I think DevTips could be aimed at newer developers. There's a lot of people out there who would love to be at the level that FunfunFunction is aimed at, having been working 1 year in a development role ... but they're not there yet. Perhaps they're considering what their options are for learning development, or they're toying with HTML & CSS and are still afraid of JavaScript. To see content that can help level them up so they can then subscribe to FFF when they've got that far ... kinda kills those 2 birds I think.

old dev tips made videos about css animation, transitions, design. Maybe new DevTip should continue it but with JS. Animation with JS (SVG, block transitions etc). Maybe call Sarah Drasner and other experts from time to time :)

I see this is over 2 months old... 1. only 8k views (8,045) not a good sign.. and 2., more so NO useful content added since : (...... Thats a game ender!..... Especially with far more enthusiastic younger faces coming into the game dropping fresh modern content every few days... I'm so happy you guys are so busy with real life and its rewards that you're struggling to find time for this platform, much better for you I think (anyone really)!.. Wish you boys the best! : )....

I think fun fun function is a more advanced channel, more CS and functional programming style. Devtips was more trends and software development, more beginner-friendly. I just followed dev tips because sometimes Travis had some good tips, I like science not constantly changing tech for doing the same things I did 10 years ago, I was really happy when you took over because I thought maybe you would start applying advanced cs and FP to full projects but then it was all beginner things with new tech. That is my feedback, I don't think anyone agrees. But for me devtips would need to be that, funfun function for projects.

I think Travis was talking to the audience more sharing life experiences rather than posting coding tutorials and live streams I also remember seeing similar stuff on fun fun function channel before but then stopped and focused on live streams and technical videos So it would be nice to make this channel more of a conversational one for entertainment and story type of learning And funfunfunction can be the technical version for tutorials and live streams

I'd love to see some database driven apps. Android or Android & iOS.

I have been a Fun fun function follower for a long time, and was so excited when you guys took over DevTips. Just to echo something you guys mentioned, fun fun function was always a little of a hardcore coding channel and devtips was usually more of visual design and html, css and some js channel for me. One recommendation would be to have interviews with more UI/UX designers along with other programmers, that is a gap I feel right now is not being filled. Looking forward to the next episode and will try and see you guys on twitch

I don't think mixing different programming disciplines will work out. I remember original DevTips as kinda CSS reference. And i think every channel should stick with its core expertiese. I left DevTips when it lost it's focuss on styling stuff. I understand desire to produce this and that to try to catch up as wide auditory as you would like. But none of those channels live long life. You should do one thing and do it well. Go back to CSS. I, as a user, currently am interested (as example) in learning CSS and all it's related tricks. So i want to subscribe to this topic only. And i subscribed to DevTips to learn it. I was not interested in Kubernetes, Docker, web components and what not at that period of time. I wanted to be focused. So... if you want to produce this and that... make separate channels. Make their branding similar, but topics different. One channel dedicated to CSS, other channel dedicated to JS, third to Kubernetes, etc, etc. Personally i do unsubscribe from all channels which start to loose their focus.

Who am I? I’m a 36 yr old former public school teacher turned developer, currently attending a Fullstack bootcamp. I watch these videos for help, very entertaining help. I have very little math in my background but I love coding and I love you guys too. Thanks for being here when I need help!

I'm a network guy trying to learn python for automation. I stumbled on a DevTips node.js video, which brought me here. I'd really like to move my career path towards more development in the next several years and move from network engineer to more cloud deployment and automation... I probably don't fit what you're doing here but you asked. ;) and btw, I enjoyed Mattis's node.js video.

Hey, I just got attention to this channel since you run it. So I don't know Travis. One episode I loved was the web scraping and using puppet and think about: "Hey I want to do this, let's figure it out!". You started to read the documentation, tried to scrape the page etc. So starting to think about problems and show how you approach a solution. I am not a developer. I am a IT-Sysadmin and I love to solve problems and it is fun to see your thoughts on problems and how to solve them. Keep your great work on! Chris

Just retired after 20 years of programming. Still curious. How about doing a live stream build using a public github repo and encouraging and evaluating pull requests from subscribers, so you really build collaboratively in real time and see where it goes? That would be amazing to watch and would really show the power of github.

Hi, I'm a front end developer working for a year and a half after doing a boot camp. Something I thought was quite cool in another channel called OmniSlash about Hearthstone. What they did was that they had a bunch of famous and well known players in the community join this channel and have their own series of videos based on a certain theme. Each of those members still have their own channels with their own content, but also contribute towards OmniSlash. This might be a good way of offloading some of the content and spreading it out to a bunch of developers, and also creating a kind of 'team'. You could have series like 'David and MPJ tries...' (exploring a certain technology live and on the fly), or maybe have Isa Silveira explain concepts on Javascript, Dan Abramov having snippets on React, Daniel Shiffman making stuff with p5.js, Jen Simmons on css and so on and so on... Maybe you could be more video focused here with shorter snippets and fun fun function be more stream highlight focused... Anyways, just an idea... hope that helps!

I really enjoyed the projects when you tried out new web tools (next.js, webscrapping with puppeteer, etc.). To me, these videos weren't really tutorials but rather an insight into the mind of devs working with new tools which is more valuable than just watching someone code without any context on what is going on in their mind. It's more of an engineering philosophic demonstration. By watching the learning process was super useful and helpfully demonstrated how easy (or not) the tools are for devs . I know that other channels do this but you guys seem to offer a more realistic approach that is easily applicable to real world projects. Either way, I think that the content you create is great. Looking forward to the next video!

Would be nice to see a series on how to prepare for a coding interview with big tech companies like Microsoft, Amazon, Facebook or Google

So I came back to this channel because I saw that I'm still a subscriber. So it's been quite some time since this video was released. I don't know what you're doing on twitch (I don't want more and more accounts. I'm actually thinking of ramping them down as I spend too much time on social media accounts) I really know the hassle of having a tutorial channel. It's much work but I hope to see sth. new sometime here on YT.

Great to have you both back, your version of DevTips is fantastic, uniquely entertaining and there are others that have already started trying to emulate this way of finding or fumbling your way through issues. What they are missing (so far) is the natural interaction that occurs between you two, it's fun to watch as well as being educational. I like the guest idea, possibly expanding it into a theme for what is going on in the technology or area of the Guests expertise. Dan Abramov, explaining hooks, could transition into what are the big things going on with React, Context, Styled-Components maybe get Dan back to discuss how Context and Hooks combo might affect Redux. There is a gaping hole out there when it comes to good resources for explaining how to implement testing and CI/CD probably because it doesn't affect the look and feel of the app or example but in fact it is a massive need for newbies and it is one of the more difficult things to learn. A series of live streams that maybe take content from a previous React series and refactor it with tests, deploy it on popular platforms e.g. AWS, Azure, Google Cloud. show how plug it into a CI/CD process/pipeline. Deploy it into a CI/CD pipeline and then refactor it highlighting the real life issues that trip up and stop newbies. Bring in Guests who can pull apart what you have done and show how they might do it.

What I loved about the original DevTips was how accessible it was. The content was often useful to beginners, juniors and mediors at the same time. It didn't require a lot of up front knowledge. I prefer short videos over long videos, but I understand what you're saying about livestreams.

Maybe contact a third developer or designer, to work with you if you are feeling like the workload is too much. That third person could also bring their own expertise and personality to the channel. Maybe someone with more knowledge of backend development or web design principles?

From Down Under - Thanks guys, really enjoy watching your videos. Keep up the good work and family comes first....

Live coding and meeting with programmers! I really hope you guys keep doing those things. generally focusing more on the practical side, I think that alongside with what we learn from fun fun function would be perfect!!

Some things I would like to see: 1) WordPress Rest API integration with React with NextJS 2) Gitlab CI (Test, Build, Deploy and how to deploy using different methods of deploying) 3) Test Driven Development in the real world 4) Kubernetes examples and breakdown of the process and what things are doing 5) Some quick 5 minute pro tips on a range of topics 6) Webpack 7) Whatever tools and processes that you guys use to make your development faster.

What are they saying in the beginning of the video? "Jävlar va nice, hennes..."

Fans from China, working on Drupal project currently as a front-end developer, it really sucks.

make HTML ,CSS, javascript project videos.

So who is the torchbearer now? Travis is gone. MPJ is gone.

Looks like "game" is only in the words.. We want to see a action

Since you both took over, I've enjoyed having DevTips as a place to explore a popular framework in-depth, since FFF usually sticks to to more conceptual concepts. Honestly, I'll watch whatever content you guys put out, but in my head DevTips is more hands on, and FFF is more for studying a particular subject or idea. Love the streaming idea though!

Year has passes, since I commented here. I am listening to this video, again. Lots of ideas throwing out, and lots of excuses... Ideas, ideas, why don't you invite someone, who is going to take a ride of the channel, and give a final stub and kill the channel? Wait, you just did it. Time and time again, it shows that people misuse "inheritance" and make an opportunity turn into dust. Sadly but unfortunately, it should ended with Travis going away. Unfortunately, even me, did not bring anything constructive, just gave my thoughts. Bit sad that Travis is not hosting show anymore, and hope that he is well where he is right now. Thanks for reading this far and have a lovely day ahead :)

And over a year later, no videos. Channel banner still says "every Friday". I actually really like you guys, but maybe you should consider giving this channel to someone else again? Or post content again please. At least take down that channel banner because it's frustrating to look at.

There seems to be a big push for developers to have a strong portfolio when applying for jobs. This is easy when you are starting your career, but is much harder once you get older and have less time to work on the weekends. Many developers work long hours and only have time to work on private code bases which cannot be shared or linked to in their portfolios. It would be great to hear your opinions about this issue, and if you had any tips on how developers in the middle of their careers can highlight their strengths. :D love the show btw.

Would it be helpful to make "series" 3-5 minute videos each so that way you guys can keep a constant stream of content and create a backlog of videos you can pick and choose from? SEO would be great to hear more about, maybe an SEO series.

Just post more fun dev tips!

Travis left DevTips #DEAD

This is dead? *pokes with stick*

Also do more __*PAIR PROGRAMMING*__ videos. I can't get enough of those. And if somebody here in the comments would like to learn/teach/work through pair programming just let me know in a reply - I'm always happy to pair with someone (your timezone, whatever it is, is fine for me).

You guys are great!

Fun fun shit

Now what?

I would really appreciate some advice. I’m going to university this fall for software engineering and I wanted to know what I should focus in to guarantee a job once I graduate. I really don’t have any preferences

I miss Travis. :(

Stoked about this update. Been following both channels for years. Live streaming is a really good way of having real-time interaction with people, it's amazing. Defo do more of that but do it more frequently I guess? Because, right now with FFF it's only Monday and that's the day when most people have meetings and then try to get some work done (at least myself) and I keep missing it. So it would be good to be multiple days a week, if there are time resources anyway. Also, there was this series from Travis when he was still running the show and that's creating a personal portfolio website from scratch. That's where I learned the basics about putting things together, and that is the go-to series I was giving to people who wanted to get their hands and keyboard greasy with human sweat -- and now it's gone. Is there a chance of bringing it back?

First of all, thanks for the video. You are sharing your thoughts with us, and it is very precious. Now I would like to share my thoughts with you, and you might not like them. Please approach them with a fresh head. I will add that I am a longtime subscriber of fff and I subscribed to DT only after you guys took over. So MPJ, you seem to be going through a difficult time in your life. I know you are still moving to a new city, but I have a feeling there is something else that you choose not to tell us. I wish you good luck with that if I am right. Stay strong. You are awesome. Truly. And I think your troubles are causing the pattern I am noticing lately: the two channels often encounter "bumps in the road". I understand you started streaming more than making RU-vid videos, and as you say, editing them is very dull for you. You often post videos that are just recorded streams with some explaining added. The truth is not all people like streams. I, for one, hated them very much until recently, and now I just struggle to watch them because no one makes anything interesting anymore. Your streams are at least interesting. But that is not the fff I subscribed to, I'm sorry. The fff I subscribed to had awesome content presented in a concise and fun manner, edited with love and precision. I would love to have that again. But now what I see looks like a person I love is beginning to fall sicker and sicker. For now, it's just an irritating cough that's not going away, but who knows. So I understand that you have two main problems: "editing is boring" and "no interesting ideas for new content". I will propose a solution for each. The first one I would solve with simply hiring a person to edit your videos. Just find an undergraduate student that would love to help you for a symbolic percentage of your Patreon income or something like that (that's me two years ago and I'm sure there are a lot of people like that on the FunFunForum). The second one I would solve by changing your target audience. You keep saying it's a one-year-experience junior dev, so why not move to lower middle topics or things like that? I'm sure you'll do just great. DT might fit nicely into that btw. I understand that I might have expressed some thoughts here in an unpleasant way, and if that is true, I am very sorry. I am trying to do what I can to help you make fff great again. And I would also love to see what you'll make of DT. I think a channel you might draw some inspiration frome is CodeBullet. He's cool, he's interesting, he hates himself. Check him out if my comment seems well-grounded to you. Thank you very much for all the awesome content. Without you, I wouldn't be as successful as I am today. I hope to have more fun programming together in the future ❤️

The situation is pretty clear. MJP wants to grow FFF because it's his own. Which makes sense. But the DevTips channel has 333k followers, and it's a shame to not leverage this community/subscriber base. So one way to leverage this channel is to funnel as many people over to FFF as possible. Which makes sense. It's a very modern problem 🙂🖥

I started your content with an MPJ muzing when I was transitioning from infrastructure Ops to DevOps. I'd like to see more content on DevOps tools, specifically content that I can follow along with in my own lab environment. Not sure if others are looking for this kind of content, but that's my vote. Configuration management, cmdb, common languages like Python, Java, etc., Elasticsearch, and so on.

You can make something on databases and firebase. I'm really trying to figure all this out without much improvement. here is what I would like to learn: - form submission in firebase. - making multiple administrative layers (to make employ user accounts and assign them projects requested in form submission and a login system for employes to check their projects.) maybe you can help me with something! :)

The format you brought is really good. like start as an amateur and trying this as person who doesn't know anything about the topic. Like Docker and Kubernetes. It is GREAT!!!!

I'm a lead on a project building a new product with a small team. Team size of 2 but should be 4 by end of year. The product is a year old. My other team member just joined as the second developer at the company. This is my third year working as a developer and I have no experience working in a team of developers

I liked regex episodes. As for idea for episodes. Can you show implementing some logic from lambda function maybe...? And yes I am a designer which uses code to proceed with career, one way or another :)

I stuck around after Travis left. I think Devtips should keep developers in the loop by talking about news regarding web dev such as new ks features libraries etc.

I dont know if anything like this has been sad much, but what i believe what treve was doing is to create content that can help with what i might come across in real life like creating issues that deal with things. Email, menus pazzels adventure, before it got boring 💤 "development tips'' I love what Trevors started with please create some content that drives up coming developers or concepts

Hello, the reason I watched DevTips with Travis was for new CSS stuff and other things like Jade + Sass, etc. It would be great to have some CSS (future of CSS).

I am working as remote front-end developer currently. I would love to see some content on building project architecture ( I guess mainly js), what is your approach to syarting project from scratch.

What about basics of machine learning & AI. You did one video long a go and it was really great. Isa Silveria was doing a bit of learning in this arena, she can be a good addition here.

Travis made quality content. I miss that a lot. He taught us to do things as well as think like a coder. He was fun. cool and awesome guy. Making videos which are fun will be good.

I like you taking people from a little bit of knowledge to deep knowledge. Deep learning, js, react, servers and general frontend

Nice to see you back. I really like the "Building an Online Business" series. If you can, I'd like to see that one completed.

Glad to see you're back, guys! I'd love some in-depth JavaScript tutorials.

I like when you guys use Live Share in VSCode to work on programming together.

it was fun to see guys new-to-programing try to code ... really fun to see the error i made for 20 years ago....

I would love to see some React Native development and deployment.

Shorter and content rich, explainer videos

Hopefully you will come back before then end of 2019?

Also sorry to hear about your difficulties. Cheers 👍
