Bare-knuckle, of course. No remote-controlled crossbows or anything.

Are there any incidences where you didn't behave the way normal people are expected to behave and you experienced backlash that made you regret it? Or do your shenanigans always work out?

also your advice for new people that want to get into modern web development but find it very overwhelming

Also are there any sturdy favourites of yours that you'd recommend?

What are the biggest pro an cons of working remotely ?
I am a new father who often thinks about the work life benefits of working from home, but fear I would end up just playing with my daughter all day.
Do you have any tips for staying focused or eliminating distractions ?

Seriously though, any tips on finding time to do more side projects / OS projects as a busy programmer? It's a demanding career.

Was thinking about a new car

Apart from Austria, obviously.

Do you have a script of commands to kick off in WSL when you start developing for the day (update packages etc.)?

Something like:
(batch file)
which looks like...
:: linux ...
sudo ncu -u && npm i
sudo npm install -g expo-cli
:: physically check the appstore for any updates for Expo...

Do you get angry when people report new issues ignoring CONTRIBUTING.md file and writing something like "Please help nothing is working I am new!"?

As in 'sudo rm -rf /'

Is it:

• sue doh
• sue dew
• suhhh, doo

What's your 1RM on bench, deadlifts, squats and overhead press? Post LBS if you're lazy, I can convert it now ;)

I'm working on building a react renderer for GTK. I've had a lot of trouble finding documentation on creating custom react renderers. However, I was able to find some direction through some presentations you gave that are on YouTube. I was wondering if you have any good resources you could direct me to for this endeavor. Also, could you put your code for the react emoji project on github. I think it would be helpful for me to look through.

And would you eat it again? Do you eat it often?

That's all kthnx ✌🏽

I guess this is a two parter really,

• What are you looking forward to messing with for your next piece of OSS awesomeness?
• Is there a new/upcoming tool that you think will have a major impact on the industry?

Thanks for the AMA and for all the crazy shit you do in general.

How do you balance your work with your private life? I know that you are a big family man, and also that you spent a lot of time on side project and you also have a full time job, and probably there is more... how do you deal with all that?

What's the typical Ken's week?

Slick Slider is crazy popular and prolific, and I realize you're more than that one component, but I've always wondered what that's like, to have something gain popularity and just take off on its own like that.

I guess my questions are: how proud of Slick are you? Knowing what you know now, would you still have created it? What's your favorite and least favorite aspects of that specific tool?

On twitter I don't think you made a good enough distinction between desktop and mobile when debating between using native apis vs the web platform.

If I was to make a software product with the end goal of making money, I would use React Native for mobile and Electron for anything cross-platform desktop

I believe you like React Native, what would you use for the desktop, Electron or something more native?

Expresso or espresso?
