Hows this for hipster: these are all basic programming techniques that have existed for decades and barely need to be pointed out. Or have I missed the joke?
EDIT: this is "fake surprise" isn't it. I'm sorry HN. Everyone has to learn this stuff somewhere. But the title was kindof asking for it.
To any newly minted developers out there, the best way to learn this stuff is just to read other peoples code. Pick the library you enjoy using the most and read every file until you understand what all the constructions and bits of syntax are for. Then compare it to another library, etc etc. Develop a taste for some and a distaste for others. There's no excuse not to learn experimentally in js as it has a repl. Use the source luke!
- whoisthemachine 12y agoYou didn't realize you are the ultimate hipster, you knew about these tricks before they were cool.
- JonnieCache 12y agoI'm pretty sure they were probably cool and then uncool and then cool again several times before I was born. Just because people used to punch holes in cards doesn't mean they didn't have l33t hax.
