FWIW, Rollup's tree shaking results in a little smaller bundle than Webpack 2's and faster execution speed of the optimized code from testing of using it with ng-bootstrap (an Angular 2 library on top of Bootstrap), but not signif

I have one major misgiving about async-await - the regression in needing to do a try-catch if one isn't isn't a test situation. This is a terrible syntax to have to write to handle this. That said, async functions also introduce a

My company is a heavily remote company (1/4-1/3 of the company or so is remote), and one tool that has helped us massively is Sococo - it has a notion of virtual rooms and virtual conference rooms, so it makes it pretty painless t

Just a tip, you should add what you're using on the frontend too if you're hiring there (react/angular/etc., sass/less, webpack/rollup/grunt/gulp/etc., and so on)

Except if one knows what the definition of big O is, there is nothing to be misled by. What big O tells you is what is the function bounded by after a constant lower bound on the input. One always want to do performance testing to see wheth

Read the issues for the repository, pick one, and try to figure out what the problem is, and what the solution is. As you progress, you can report on your findings. It's ok to fail, the journey is the important part here. Eventually it

I've experienced this during my time modding - there are some truly awful people out there. Eventually this particular site took some significant actions to shut down the problem and did a lot of banning (even IP banning users), and th

JSX using JS for logic is both a boon and a curse. It is just as easy to shoot yourself in the foot and write some ugly imperative construction as writing an elegant template. I wonder if we will ever have a satisfactory solution to the tem

We're much better than our competitors on just about everything else - the company just can't compete on pure cash against the likes of Google/Facebook/Netflix/Apple/etc., but I know from prior job searches&#x2

After conducting countless interviews at my current small company (< 35 employees) with a structured & data-driven interview process, I'm seeing how acutely of a job seeker's market it is in engineering. Finding quality eng

Can't speak for the author of the post you're replying to, but I'd wager it refers to the bad actors you find on GitHub and such where they contribute significant negative equity to an ecosystem.

This looks amazing - nice form factor for easy use on the go (demonstrated in many ways in the video, including on airplanes), but still letting you have a classic game experience. It shows smart usage of now standard wireless tech and high

Talk to your manager. That is their job to make sure they are doing what they're supposed to in a more formal setting if informal coaching does not work.

Except most companies are lousy dev shops. Bad practices are endemic at many, and good practices are not practiced a lot. Engineering is often ignored in favor of quick wins. There are a lot of reasons for quality developers to be dissatisf

This is a quite unintelligent response - people can learn if they put their minds to it. Case in point, I'm a PhD dropout from a top 15 math program in the US - I did not really code at all to any serious degree. After pouring a lot of

As someone who has been on both ends, it definitely is not an employer's market for engineers. The ones who meet a high quality bar usually can get an offer almost anywhere they want, and can easily choose to dismiss the employer wooin

If you use github, you can also utilize git am to pull changes locally - i.e. add .patch to the end of a pull request url, navigate to the resulting url, copy the new url, then run curl <insert url> | git am -3

Writing assertions has a runtime cost that isn't present when using something like TypeScript. Granted, that benefit is probably minor, but it is a benefit in TypeScript's favor.

I hit $85k in DC in under a year of experience without a CS degree (MS in math though). Many places in the country it is easy to hit six figures, and $200k is not out of the realms of possibility outside of the Bay Area or NYC either.

I know plenty of people making over $200k in the Bay Area, some over $300k. I think that is the point of the article commenting on the bimodal distribution of salaries.

I know of pretty much no message board that started that way - most aren't for profit even. This is just fraud.

Set theory is useful, as well as category theory (although I never formally studied category theory myself...maybe eventually I will). Basic logic is also important - understanding symbolic logic, and methods of proof (direct inference, pro

I feel like TypeScript needs some work in areas around typing methods - for example, I ran into type issues when trying to go more functional via ramda.js ( http://ramdajs.com/ ) using stuff like compose, and ultimately it fe

Take a look at the changelog for breaking changes - they even timestamp it. That is true about the deprecation, although some of the earmarked breaking changes have been quite painful too. Hopefully the Angular team takes this route for pla

I'd like to point out that React has had breaking changes roughly 6 or less months apart also. This is a red herring of an argument, we see lots of successful libraries make breaking changes that often doing fine. The scope of the brea

I've been told directly by multiple Angular team members that over 70% of Google apps uses Angular in some fashion. They have said the usage of Angular off of HEAD of master publicly in the past as well, but I don't recall off the
