Angular and React were a response to the problem of abstraction-less frontends: spaghetti jQuery, piled ten miles high. I appreciate the concern for over-abstraction introducing unnecessary complexity, but there's got to be a point on

A heavy portion of carbohydrates will raise and lower your blood sugar levels. The crash is the tiredness. I would nearly fall asleep at my desk after lunch if I had pasta, and it took some time to make the connection.

It increases the opportunity cost of not fixing an old vehicle. Most people might balk at an engine rebuild, for example, but if it's that versus a new vehicle that has an added ongoing subscription fee -- it makes car repair seem rela

The tang ping moment to some degree validates that quality of life has at least plateaued for many, or that the effort involved to further improve QOL isn't worth it. However, that problem doesn't seem unique to China, and other c

There's plenty of situations where traditional banking system does nothing. A social engineering scam led to a 6-figure USD theft, it was a down payment meant to be wired as part of a real estate transaction. The money was already out

A more interesting question is Pew asking the last time people have attended a religious service. The frequency of your attendance is one way to characterize your affiliation. Roughly a third go weekly, a third monthly or few times per year

What areas don't have political and ideology homogeny anymore? There are two Americas. I would enjoy an area with better tolerance to the other side's ideals, but it seems that's in short supply everywhere. There's a rea

I've seen healthy debate on hot-button issues at places like /r/politicaldiscussion: in fact, I think that sub avoids the flame-throwing devolution better than HN does. There might not be a place here for it, but there certai

I once interviewed for a front-end role and had to google some CSS property name, as I still haven't committed to memory the difference between "align-items" and "justify-content", but I got dinged for that in feedb

If you have an unexpected large expense, like some needed home repair, it can easily be a few months of ordinary expenses. The fact that I normally live off of $3.5k/month is untethered from the cost of a roof replacement. You do pay a

Interest rates can't go up because it would risk America's ability to re-pay its debt, as well as the debt of 'zombie' corporations, which would inevitably impact the Fed's "maximum employment" mandate. If

Are you really 5% richer, if realizing that appreciation means selling the house, and buying a comparable one on the market that has also appreciated 5% in value? Plus, depending on your locality, your property taxes went up due to the new

I don't think React hooks will be outdated in 1-2 years. Between Svelte and Vue I don't see a path for a formidable challenger. You get the complete ecosystem around it. There's tools like Stencil, and I like those tools, but

Should I be penalized if an upstream dependency, owned by another team, fails? Did I lack due diligence in choosing to accept the risk that the other team couldn't deliver? These are real problems in the micro-services world, especiall

I don't think engineers can believe in no-blame analysis if they know it'll harm career growth. I can't unilaterally promote John Doe, I have to convince other leaders that John would do well the next level up. And in those d

Your experience is the ethos of tang ping, or "lying down" movement. Sure, you can try, and even if you do your very best and end up in the top decile of society, you still are getting a run-down home at best in a selective metro

I've started keeping my slack status off permanently in working hours. It discourages people from contacting me, but I imagine the effect will wear off with time, as people catch on. The bigger picture takeaway is Slack status is not s

So many times I've searched some weird intranet hostname, or $megacorp_specific_lingo and found it in Slack, yet nowhere in our Confluence. Confluence is great for more long-form stuff, but it also gets stale. But the great thing with

This is often true in professional settings. "Just build the UI for this, and the API team will catch up". I object-- give me an OpenAPI spec that we agree upon in advance. Front-end today involves building up a lot of in-memory d

I'm not convinced this is quite it. The housing demand (by real, live physical people, not remote investors) is likely seasonal. Town like Tahoe might have 10x the number of people in them 12 weeks of the year. Unless we're settin

It's easier to make a villain out of McKinsey than it is out of Congress. While it's true Congress is universally disliked, the discussion devolves into opining about my-team-versus-other-team, even though teams spend a great deal

I'm almost afraid to ask since it's such a given, but do employees actually get fired for choosing the wrong vendor? I've heard it repeated in quite a few contexts, and I'm unsure if I should interpret it literally. At w

If it takes great effort to bestow this institutional knowledge on the EA, is it buying you that much of your time back? You already know the algorithm for when free time can be most easily made. Just a matter of flipping through the calend

If you'll indulge me, I have a concrete story on this. In San Diego County, in the city of Del Mar, there is one final plot of 17.45 acres of oceanfront land. What was to happen to it? The proposal was the "Marisol Specific Plan&q

It's less a political delineation and more of a class one. In nearly any city, whether it's left- or right- leaning, there's a class of landowners who intentionally reject rezoning to artificially restrict the supply of homes

Practically, what does this look like? There's $3M beautiful coastal homes in my area, and a few miles inland, you can get what might be called a 'starter home' for $900k. Is my wage going to be based on the extremely expensi

This is the 'fun' part of having many engineering teams with full autonomy of various subsystems, and with no prior discussion, they decide to start writing cookies. Running in isolation, their single service may not blow the limi

These data are fascinating, but I would've liked more of the socioeconomic skew. I grew up in lower middle class area, and I can recall many gay men that didn't pursue academics beyond high school. They mostly went on to service i
