I don't think you understood the point of the article - it was targeted at library maintainers, not all users. Types often end up a part of the documentation, and internal typing is often needed in libraries to keep track of model stat

Whiteboard coding doesn't necessarily have to involve guessing the algorithm - any whiteboard questions I've asked avoided doing so. On the flip side, my experience with take home projects is that they are much more of a hazing&#x

There is a rule for divisibility by 7 - take the last digit, double it, and subtract from the rest of the numbers. If that is divisible by 7, the original number is too. For example, 91 gives 9 - 2 * 1 = 7, so it is divisible by 7

That's cheating though - also it likely is faster to do it mentally than typing all that out for the brightest.

FWIW, that is a fairly known frontend issue :) . One cannot rely on that returning any data.

Better to squash before the rebase so you resolve conflicts once rather than x times...and hope there are no nasty merge commits to ruin the history.

Not just Linux - most major open source projects I've come across on GitHub also practice similar processes, if not identical.

To be pedantic, that is not quite composition - I've made this exact mistake before too. Composition is where you have a function f o g (o being the traditional mathematical notation for composition), where (f o g)(a) = b satisfies g(f

I can tell you from experience that making a robust Ionic 1 app with Cordova that is performant is difficult. Cordova is not good at all. We did not have chump change for developers either - I've numerous contributions to Angular and I

The comments are pretty bad both ways, i.e. this whole thread is shameful: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11152864 There's little constructive purpose for these bad faith remarks in threads like that in general (

Sometimes cleaning up code has positive business ramifications - for example, I took the time to design a component carefully in the past few weeks for work, and when it came to start a new user story for a nearly identical feature for anot

I do Node.js as well, although it doesn't show nearly as strongly in my background due to every company I've been at wanting my frontend skills. I get pinged heavily due to being a major non-Google contributor in the Angular commu

I'm not seeing a great hiring market right now for engineers in the Bay Area, at least as a high demand JS engineer. I took a look at testing the waters within the past month, I found the offers/opportunities a little wanting, and

I actually am happy to reveal the salary, mainly because I find myself on the higher end of the compensation scale for my experience. When you're on the higher end, it can help on the candidate side to avoid wasting time with prospecti

Quit using [insert service] for a period of time. When you no longer feel a need to use it, then it is safe to use it. This has been the best cure for addictions for me in the past, but YMMV.

In my experience, I like IRC (been using it for ~10 years), but sometimes there is a lot of noise. For example, the Angular.js IRC channel devolved into a flood of bad questions with not enough information to help, and some entitled users.

FWIW, Angular 2 will ultimately be a lot smaller than React - the Angular team seems to believe they can get the core library (similar to React in pure components, but allowing the user to access the AST itself for more flexibility for cust

Most of the advice sound like basic JavaScript - avoid things that prevent the interpreter from garbage collecting.

And at least 3 also ship apps with Angular as well, and I know Netflix has some eyes on Angular 2 as well with several key figures from Netflix having helped shape some of Angular 2's direction (at least through the push for observable

Forking is an extraordinary measure, and often not practical - that is usually a very poor option. Personally, I disagree with your approach to dealing with a toxic community. Having done moderation in various forums/chat rooms & n

I only have a computer with Windows for two reasons currently - games, and for debugging frontend web code on an actual Windows machine (more uncommon - pretty much only has been for open source work). Otherwise, I too have found Linux&#x2F

The caveat is you have to survive the bureaucracy, which is probably unmatched elsewhere. Just a month ago I visited DC and a contractor asked for help on some of his code...the JSP was quite cringeworthy, and I was amazed the contractor co

React uses an imperative style, not declarative - when one uses this.items.map(item => <li>{item.name}</li>), this is imperative, not declarative. You are describing the DOM with imperative language - JSX cloaks what is

That's certainly a fair statement - I found the imperative style generated from JS directly harder to debug/work with in general, but that's why I mentioned it's a bit team dependent. Each developer's experience is

There are some slight inaccuracies here, such as file size reporting - Angular 2 is fat at the moment only because it is bundling the whole kitchen instead of just the one piece that is the library itself. The Angular 1 number also is off t
