Not sure what to make of this article. Nuclear power is by far the cleanest and safest way of generating energy for both humankind and nature. Chernobyl was ancient and outdated, which caused issues. And Fukushima had to withstand an earthq

You rely on client-side JS to secure checkouts? Everywhere I've worked doesn't really care about the frontend (it is merely the first line of defense); everything is validated and authorized on the backend.

In this region of the world we have a guaranteed minimum income, plus the pension that I built up during life. It should be a comfortable retirement even without savings. But I get your point. In the case of an older failing body I'd p

I wish there was a version control system that didn't need user input beyond a "push". Only branches and pull requests, nothing more. No commit messages, you have one master branch and however many sub-branches you need. What

I love Redux, I love your dedication to the community (also on Reddit), and I love your work. But this is the first time I find myself completely disagreeing with you. The bigger a project gets, the more unreadably TS snippets you run into.

Well, TS does point things out to me in the IDE that make me correct it right there. But, I would have caught that in my browser in under 2 seconds anyway. With proper .map files to debug things it's infinitely more clear what's w

If you don't require at least 2 approvals from medior/senior developers for your junior's PRs you're doing it wrong. TypeScript is not a "little bit" slower, I've seen it take over 3 times more time (and f

TypeScript slows down a project. Nobody seems to ever point out what benefits it supposedly offers. My claim: TypeScript offers no benefit. Ever. That's 2 years of fulltime TS experience talking and 18 years of fulltime JavaScript expe

So, I've worked with JavaScript since 2001. Up until two years ago I never used a strong typed flavour on top of JS. And I have never needed it. Not in big teams and not in small teams. At work we recently did a timed programming probl

Oh, please. The projects I've recently worked on used only Hooks instead of Redux. It was a nightmare to deal with. Files with endless amounts of `useSomething`, you'd need to dive through 4 levels of files to get to something use

Just the fact it uses Handlebars templates disqualifies it as a viable option for me. Handlebars is terrible to work with, especially once you're used to JSX type of options. HBS = restrictive for nonsense reasons. The separations of M
