anyone who has something they want to share != speaking at tech conferences

Why are you aggressive? I am just saying public speaking is a core asset of a slightly different career path. You can follow this and there're many career opportunities, especially in tech marketing/dev evangelizing but it's

It just a lazy analogy for many useless talks. Btw, I LOVE talking about my vim config in a small setting like a 10 person meetup just because I LOVE vim and like to be with like-minded people. But I'd never do a public speech on it be

Speaking at conferences is a strong urge in the dev community. Some do it because they want to improve their public speaking skills or to prove something to themselves ('I can be as outgoing as the marketing guy next door, har har&#x27

Thanks for your reply. Man, so much legacy, now I get it better. The Quick Start sounds like a good next step and some low hanging fruit! ps and to understand your That's outside of our scope and ability to help with. better: Are you

Yes but it's so much more work + the code won't be maintainable and something like Transferwise needs a lot of interactivity. Rather check out the recent thread about the react SSR. The entire field/frontend got quite complex

I meant the docs. It's like decades ago like when you wanted to learn Rails. Then somebody said stop! First learn Ruby... This is not how people learn. There's too much time between learning and trying, so there's no proper a

Still doesn't make sense. Instagram and postcards have different use cases and latter is not about sending someone a physical photo or showing a any photo (hint again: it's a gesture).

Yang says that breaking up tech monopolies won't help (with giving a very weak example) but he doesn't give a proper answer how to get competition back. Why does China have 20 different kind of Youtubes and the western world just

IDK, it's good to have competition but I could never get warm with mobx, undo is not baked it, more magic, similar learn curve but less real understanding at the end. Then, the biggest bummer, you have also mobx state tree which is too

IDK. While this idea is as old as the Internet, does it make any sense? The key point of a postcard is not to communicate (limited space, not secure, slow) but being a gesture. Buying a postcard, writing something on it and bringing it yo

Redux is a mixed bag but I'd say it's one of the most elegant ways to handle state. Biggest problem and reason why people (me included at the beginning) don't like Redux, you should know when you need it and you should use so

Re your second point: How is the SSR scene in Go land? Are there thriving ecosystems? Besides, it took me a long to leave pug/stylus, I'am still not sure if a pug-based SSR is still the best way to get stuff out of the door. But a

Good point and I agree that the borders between SPA and SSR are blurry. However, I just wanted to stress that a debate without having requirements is useless, it's like saying a racing car is better than a truck. But for what? Building

People debate SPA vs SSR without any context. Both have their use case: Everything before a login => SSR, everything after => SPA. Why? SSR is proven to be much better at SEO. But SPAs offer best UIs. Nobody wants to click through s

yes they call this rendering now but just in the context SSR vs SPA

> Try using client-side rendered website on a cheap Android phone... Just not true. We test all your react sites with $100 Android phones. They render them all fine and fast.

Been there many times and I think, that it's a bit normal when leaving a company/a powerful position within. People blame always the leavers for their own mistakes or being in a crappy company. Then, the biggest challenge is to le

Yes, I tried tailwind few times but I'm 10x more productive with Tachyons: tailwind doesn't make sense from my point of view. It wants to be atomic css but has way too long class names, they're so long I could also use normal

IDK about the article but in this context: Atomic css, in particular Tachyons, paired with React is one of the fastest ways to create gorgeous and consistent designs.
