Clients first.
I do support, 24/7, I get s..t from anything, including WhatsApp. After that I have the chance of reorganize the requests into my favorite task manager.
Customers just want to know you are there...
Clients first, and always replay via email. Be consistent in accept from any channel, replay, report, notify via email.

Sometimes learn is impossible at work, or...
i had and experience... i was working for a bizarre company, the culture was very far from what i could consider decent, in some cases they were toxic. Nobody could understand what i was trying to say/do. MSSQL, C# and other very cool stuff.
But wait... they weren't able to understand what i was doing but... i was able to understand what their business was, their special use-cases, their customers and requirements.
Those moment are in the past now. But i learned a lot from people that could not understand me, having a completely different background.
Everybody can teach us something...
I use to do side projects to learn more. That is what I used to say.
The reality was that change the activity I really loved for decades to another has not been easy.
Side projects has been the perfect excuse to stay on the laptop.
How do you replace a no-competitive activity where you are in control of what you do and decide what and when to do?
So what worked for me?
Find something that exists in the real world, in my case an old, unchecked desire (learn to ride), and just do it.
How long I waited? Long time, years.
The issue with the credit card verification before trying the product is that as a user, I do not like that approach.
I want to try first and eventually pay. That is the experience I'd like to offer.
One thing that is somehow frustrating with multiple repositories are those shared components.
I know this is not directly an issue with react itself but after create-react-app one, two, three. ... times the amount of duplicated code/components become a huge debt.
I'm not sure I need something new/different from react@next but guidelines for creating libraries and produce high quality components (type definition done right for example) is something that I'd like to have.
in office we do not work with docker, containers, cloud etc, we run legacy asp.net 2.0 on-premise without any kind of automation (just a couple of us coordinating the releases and copying and pasting into the customer Windows Server 2008).
Kubernetes for personal projects? In my case, after 10 years of on-premise deployments, VM Ware, SQL Clusters, web.config, IIS, ARR and the rest of the things related, YES!
I absolutely want 3 hosts for less then 100$, a gitlab account for 4$, a free account in cloudflare, code and deploy.

Showing skepticism is also fine, our industry is not just nice code review and beautiful moments where people want to encourage you.
I don't have any Facebook accounts but after 15 years programming stuff, I don't see the copy/paste as a powerful solution.
Also, distribution is not really the problem here. From architecture point of view Facebook is distributed.
The problem is the need of store huge amount of data in the cloud and pretending that to be free.
In some cases/team there is the need of an extra effort in order to balance resources AND people.
If I could pick a manager from a pool I will probably take someone with experience in people first and docker later...
At the end manager that are open to listen to the team and the customers will probably take the right choice in term of technology.
I keep post my position in this kind of news. I never used it. I will never use it. It will close before I will use it.
I could consider to use it if hired or paid to test it.
