The article says bind as a negative point - I perefer the new non-bound class method syntax: ``` private handleClick = (event) => {} ``` By "mental lazyness" I mean that people (as in people I have met with) piss on javascript

I "don't actually understand why people like Typescript", or lemonade, or skiing, or eating fish. I know why I like it, including static typing, and how I can find a balance with using its features (and not using some). On

I'm focusing on classes, because it seems to me that to "React" classes are a necessary evil (or they are treating them like they were). Hooks, suspense, context wormholes - I'm not sure if these features should be part

I know, but lately during frontend interviews I was surprised how many times I met with "I'm a developer I can do anything" type interviewers - some of them were dotnet, others were java devs and they preferred typescript, be

Maybe newish coders should learn the language they are using. And of course there is typescript (and a gazillion of languages that can be transpiled to js these days), which synergizes very well with enterprise people and java/dotnet d

According to the article yes, the issue is "what is a class": "You have to understand how this works in JavaScript, which is very different from how it works in most languages. You have to remember to bind the event handlers.

I worked last time on a large scale project with full waterfall and heck, it was good. I knew what to do, when to do it, team lead had great domain knowledge and was a nice guy etc. Then the company decided that products are not built fast

Many "web apps" are just a bunch of forms, crud operations and occasionally static pages for eula, privacy policy, faq and other knick-knacks.

Oh Dan, my experiences are that eight companies out of ten are using react for _anything_. There were times when javascript === jquery. Nowdays javascript === react.

Isn't this a click-baitish title? I would say that this is a configuration issue and not "exactly" a vulnerability and basically get off my lawn. Reading blueimp's and larry's comments here I envy their constructivi

Heavens, I thought the fire was an allegory or a worst case scenario. Looking at the artsy enterior I feel an existential dread thinking about being trapped in that place with flames around.

That' true. But wherever I look, projects and people bought into this idea that if it's good enough for Facebook (or Google in the case of Angular) then going with react+redux is a future-proof idea.

Thank you! I've been thinking of writing a cli helper to generate the boilerplate, but that would be specific to the project I'm working on. I really loved working with angular-cli, where you can create most of the skeletons with

I would just love to work with mobx, coming from vue, the project is already big enough and a rewrite is not an option in this stage. Are people using redux and mobx together?

Well, typescript is nice. But. The amount of boilerplate I write with redux is downright annoying, add typescript to the mix and the interfaces, typedefinitions, enums, various scattered exports, actioncreators and typehelpers are just mind

I still think that facebook can be tremendously useful, even if I unfollowed everyone and have zero posts (mostly to see events, access facebook-homepages, let people find my email address or just occasionally tell someone to send me an ema

All of it. Let it burn. It's time for a culling anyway, the videos, the stupid clickbaits, the malware infested ad servers, the hysteria around adblockers, the secretly sponsored articles, the popup layers, the sluggish megabyte spas,

Can you recommend a tsx-friendly linter and its setting? The sites I worked with never followed this rule and whenever I tried to bring it up, it was too late to refactor things (at least from a roadmap/burndown po/sm perspective)

Afaik the render part is purely dynamic and the advocated style of creating closures with fat arrows to avoid scope binding (which is essentially the same if done in the render section) is quite expensive in terms of performance. React and

Just unfollow 'em all. You have to spend half an hour clicking through your list of "friends" (or fans or whatever these relationships are called these days) or write fifteen lines of javascript to click on the dom elements,

After using bugzilla, mantis, tfs, jira, gitlab and github, I honestly think that jira is not half bad. In fact I prefer it over gitlab, but I'm alone with this view on the team. The hatred towards jira is on par with desktop java.

That's interesting. Been at their Hungarian office for a job interview (Hortonworks, a year or so ago), it was weird though. Haven't tried Cloudera, but they too have an office at Budapest, I wonder how it will effect their workfo

All software is terrible and not all bugs will be (or can be) ironed out. It really amazes me how people are always forming ideological groups - C vitamin is the best cure for everything. C vitamin is useless, just forget it. iOS has memory

Doubtful, but true - though it _should_ not be preactivated. But sometimes it is. Not to mention the Lenovo "rootkit" which is quite widely known.
