IMO, if you end up in that situation, you need to invest more effort into figuring out a good solution from the library perspective & maybe even be willing to spend the time to implement it - that is the only way you can effect positive

I have learned to detach myself some from open source, as some users are always going to be terrible, and IMO, more people should make an honest effort to contribute back to open source. If one gets too invested, it becomes too easy for neg

Firefox isn't great either - I'm locked into an older version until Sauce Labs supports geckodriver because Mozilla made an awful breaking change in 47 to switch to a beta driver for Webdriver support, which prevents us from testi

There is some movement to support universal JavaScript apps, i.e. render first hit with the server and serve the same JS code for the client to just fetch data for any page navigation after - both Angular and React support this. That said,

If I had to guess, the recommendation is due to that there are simply more jobs around React and Angular out there. There is a practical bent to the lists in the article.

Being one step removed from the hiring manager at work, the one thing I have noticed about some older candidates is sometimes their background/resume/performance demonstrates to me that some just don't show an aptitude for le

Not everyone has the same experiences with the Bay Area - I live in the Valley and my commute is better than when I lived in DC (where even going < 2 miles to work took longer than it takes for me to go 7 miles by bus currently, even wit

This is why I like when people contribute to major open source projects - chances are good they will be exposed to some of these hard problems, which can help them solve future ones.

Got numbers? I know someone who was able to get a simple app down to below 30kb including polyfills (albeit with a lot of work using Google Closure), and from what I understand that was before AoT compilation was there. Much of the core is

Do you have numbers? Angular 2 is quite small if you're using treeshaking.

We are actually in the process of changing our Font Awesome font usage into svg versions of the font (via Icomoon's free converter tool) due to some of our customers blocking web fonts on IE11 via Windows Registry settings, claiming se

The point the person was making is that "a implies b" is quite different from "b implies a" - the converse of a statement is a different statement. Not all hard working people are successful, but all successful people ar

In general, even if you don't like some things about projects, it's worthwhile investing time to see if you can learn from it for down the road. I'm an expert in the Angular ecosystem, but I experiment with other frameworks t

I noticed this in the past two weeks - as a result, if I use Uber, I toggle it on, and afterwards I turn it off. This is pretty crappy, I don't need an app punishing my battery by default just so they can collect more data. It really m

There are significantly more of these stories out there on Amazon than the other major tech companies it seems - I haven't heard of anywhere near as many stories coming from Google, Facebook, or Apple.

I worked with someone once who had a really sloppy/inconsistent code style, but the code he wrote was rock solid. His subsequent (and current) job is now as a very well-known expert as as developer advocate for one of the big four tech

I came across these quirks too at a prior job while using Cordova as well - I'm largely convinced that these sort of hybrid tools are just not good enough. I haven't used alternatives like React Native, NativeScript, etc. - those

The upgrade adapter isn't ready for primetime yet from what I gathered. Can't speak for Vue, but Angular 2 is pretty nice, and the performance benefits are significant. There are some complexities, mainly around AoT compilation, b

I recommend a different approach - if one feels bound to go on social media often, take a couple of month hiatus from it. The main important thing is to be able to break the power of addiction, since it is what causes the distractions in th

Creating a universal JS app on the web has some extra cons too - not only is the code run on the server, but also a not insignificant JS payload is downloaded & executed on the client, as well as increased app complexity in order to mai

From what I understand, SEs in Test are now called SETI, but I could be wrong. It sounds like SETI does all the things the test engineers do in Google (I interviewed with SETI a half-year ago).

One thing I like to do is with anything addicting/I deem as necessary, every now and then I cut it out of my life for a duration. It helps increase my independence by avoiding decisions based on what I misbelieve are necessary. I'

It's nowhere near as bad - I live in the Valley & have a nice 20-30 min commute into the office with otherwise pretty tame traffic around just about every day in my 2 1/2 years in the area. Meanwhile every visit I have had int

There are more factors than that - a lot of good developers will bail if there is not progress made on updating the frontend stack, especially if the technology is outdated/problematic to work with. In addition, it becomes harder to hi

From where to where exactly? The CalTrain goes through the South Bay and San Mateo. The VTA pretty much connects all of the Valley with bus and light rail, and there is always the ECR that goes along El Camino...the only way I can think of

I was also confused reading that piece - if anything, it helped market the existence of something by Microsoft. This piece would've been better released after Microsoft announced something IMO. Timing seems wrong.
