Well, I commented mainly because of this > There's One Way™ to do things correctly. Using anti-pattern "hacks" will work for a little bit, but in the long run come back to bite you as your software grows and scales. This i

Huh? This sounds like it's more true of Angular than React - there is a widely adopted style guide, and well-known anti-patterns are very established. I don't get that impression with React.

LinkedIn has roughly 10k employees - they're in an arms race for office space with Google and Apple in the area, but it sounds like this agreement should resolve most of the issues with Google and LinkedIn. Being that LinkedIn's h

These interviews were mostly initiated by Google - in particular, I have a special level of expertise with Angular, which they highly covet and which is likely why they've been contacting me roughly every two months or so to interview

Happens - I failed interviewing with Google 5 times this past year, the last time being my first in-person with them (feedback was inconsistent performance). I've learned at least with Google, sometimes you get bad luck with the draw..

At that point, I was 2 1/2 years in - that was a year ago. That was a rarity I think, although there are numerous stories of Netflix paying $300k+ now.

Can verify - I turned down an opportunity for lead frontend work a year ago for $350k-400k (a lot of compensation in stock/bonuses, so it was variable), and that wasn't even at a big tech company. (For the curious, I opted for tre

I work with a co-worker who went through Hack Reactor, and the current job being her first in tech - she ended up alright, and learns at a pretty solid clip. On the flip side, at a previous employer, apparently there was an employee who wen

You can always abstract away duplicated code after - what you cannot do as easily is fix a bad abstraction. It leads to a world of pain.

I noticed there was song data errors in places - for example, in this chart ( http://www.degeneratestate.org/static/metal_lyrics/clusters.... ), in the most representative songs for Tiamat, it lists White Pearl, Bla

Yep, this is certainly true - I've run into it since I bet this way most of the time when playing blackjack in casinos. One of the first things I do before sitting at a table is calculating how many bets it takes to hit the highest pos

I've gotten that a few times too - sometimes the issue opener turns out to have been right. I think more people need to do better at communicating better is what it comes down to.

Having the necessary skills does not mean they cannot make an attempt though. If they regress into whining instead of trying, then I'm less sympathetic & less likely to put my best effort forward since it's unnecessary stress.

Study the source code of major open source projects & try to contribute - you will see techniques for better code in their natural habitat, and through code review.

Agreed - all of this is necessary to keep sane. I maintain UI Bootstrap (over 12k stars on GitHub), and I have to make decisions on bugs and feature requests. I prefer erring on inaction of response if I am not sure of how to decide, and I

All depends on if you use any third party Angular 1 libraries. If you do, it can be trickier, as one will have to rewrite the functionality in Angular 2. For example, my current company screwed itself by using a fork of UI Grid, and thus pr

Both Angular and React rely on an AST - React uses jsdom, while Angular has a template compiler which constructs an AST from the template, and the renderer then can render from the AST as it determines. Angular can render templates with the

For Angular 1 vs. React, I would just say depending on the resources you have - for example if a team is very productive with Angular 1 & there isn't enough time to get a team to pivot skills, then it may make more sense to go with

I'm currently at a company that is not using an ORM - what has happened is that developers have written endpoints with inconsistent data formatting for similar data types, which prevents the possibility of creating abstractions cleanly

There are a lot of people who like communicating through image memes & other short soundbites - I am not one of them. I value text. I like reading deeper insights from people much more than cheap flyby memes or time consuming videos. If

California's taxes are not straightforward. For example, my effective state tax rate is ~7.3% at $160k. It's a progressive tax, so calculations aren't as easy as slapping a generalized number. If you're making $500k, it

They do - the library is UI Bootstrap: https://github.com/angular-ui/bootstrap . I know many Fortune 500s use it.

I never actually had that shock, and I grew up just north of NYC (near White Plains, a quick train ride right into Manhattan). You quickly learn to size people up and know who is likely to try to sell you something, often by how they dress,

As a maintainer of a major UI library for the web, I sympathize, but I also find that it also takes significant time to get accessibility done right as well. There is a lot of research involved for most people, precisely because they are no
