Apple's numbers here are a lot better than I expected! For comparison, many of the other FAANG companies fare much worse, and many of the smaller companies I saw when consulting and doing a startup looked even less diverse than big tec

Personal anecdote: I didn't major in it because I had no idea I would enjoy it. I was fortunate that my engineering program had two semesters of Java. We spent more time hand drawing logic gates than coding in the intro course and so i

A few counter points: - hardware exclusives may be a better business model, but consumers (at least a vocal subset) clearly don't like them - Microsoft seems to be moving towards having all Xbox games run on pc so console exclusives ma

It works great, too, for abstracting away fetch logic to middleware (as in this blog post) or to a shared module. And it is in the redux tutorials, but buried in the advanced section. http://redux.js.org/docs/advanced
