I'm not saying things are the best I think they can be. I'm saying the progress is amazing and overall has been positive. If someone were to make you an offer to build a complex web app right now using current tooling vs traveling

When I was a younger developer I used to believe things like this. There are tons of roles and different levels to fill. People come from all sorts of backgrounds. You shouldn't discount folks for following a different path. A passiona

Ford Fiesta owners got this awful Sync 2 system and a poorly designed transmission. When I purchased, the Sync system seemed like something I could deal with at the time. It aged poorly. It seems like it is getting slower, but that's p

I blame AT&T/Verizon. The power to stop scam calls is well within their control.

This country's government is based on the idea that people aren't intelligent (or interested) enough to think about politics for themselves. That's what a representative democracy is.

Configuring the modern JS toolkit (webpack, Babel, your framework of choice, Jest, etc) is such a pain. I’ve been doing front-end for 10+ years. You’re probably not a bozo.

Sure. Do you know of any studies that analyze the power consumption of different languages on the backend? I'd be curious to see how they compare.

"There’s no hope of understanding the DOM with React" This is false. I've been developing with React for over a year and a half and have never used the React dev tools. I've only ever used the browser's web inspecto

For me it was rock climbing. I had been suffering for a couple of years. I had been to the doctor a couple of times, but I wasn't really getting much out of the exercises he prescribed or the medication. I happened to start doing indoo

Service Workers creep me out, but maybe I'm in the minority. I don't want web pages to be able to execute code if I'm not actually on their page. To be honest, I don't even want most apps to background refresh on my phon

I like being able to watch movies or TV shows on the plane. I don't keep that stuff on my phone and I don't own a tablet. I guess I can hope it'll lower the cost of the ticket, but that's not going to happen. :)

Checkout performance is key. It's one of the main reasons I shop there. Even at peak times, the wait time seems to be an order of magnitude less than checking out at Safeway. Also, the person checking you out at Whole Foods is usually
