I've been down this path with acemarke before, about redux-thunk even. All of his commits on Redux are documentation changes, and he feels the need to spam every React thread on this site with comments that start with "I'm a

What cities do you prefer and how much does it cost you, out of curiosity? I'm on what's considered a fairly good wage for my area (Melbourne), but if I were to do this it'd cost me close to 70% of my take home salary. Wherea

I mean, I think these SSR front-end frameworks are a pile of crap, not worth the added complexity, and I hate using them; but it's pretty clearly not the same result. The problem they're solving is not "render on the server s

These guys are idiots. SC2 has been getting bigger internationally lately, it's still huge in Korea, it's the only e-sport I find interesting to watch without actually having played the game myself (outside of half the single play

That's different. You'd be copying data off a personal computer that isn't publically accessible. Piracy usually involves a third party purposefully giving you access to the data.

80% might be a bit ambitious, but it's probably not that far off. How much money do you think is in the web industry relative to the more grounded industries you've worked in?

The problem is that small businesses either don't have the money to pay for a quality static site or don't want to. If you want to get into this industry as a dev you're competing against sweatshops that shit out these garbag

Yeah, that's true, but as a peon you're not at the mercy of the business users. Your career tech choices are mostly determined by the horde of technical managers who spend 8 hours a day brushing up on the latest tech and fuck all

Honestly I would have called bullshit on this before reading the OP, but if everything that journalist is reporting is true, then it's an absolutely terrifying abuse of power by the police.

The big problem with P2P is it doubles the bandwidth cost for the end user. Not a problem if we're talking desktops in countries that aren't 3rd world (or Australia). But most mobile plans still have strict bandwidth limits. If yo

You've totally misunderstood the example then. The point is that lots of more advanced concepts in React can be intuitively constructed from the basics. Of course you have to learn something , every tool has an API. That doesn't

What non-US paper though? In my experience as an Australian all of our papers are totally fucked. We don't have anything anywhere near as good as NYT or WaPo.

I know you're being a smartass, but yes, actually. Given two tools that do the exact same thing where one requires more specialised knowledge to use than the other, you'd be an idiot to choose the more complex one without receivin

No resources, but I do have some advice: Don't do it (if it can be helped). I made the switch and jumped into a Vue project at work, and I'm hating every second of it. Vue is for noobs and back-end developers that don't know

I find that's 99% of professional communities. Even the comments here. Cargo culting gets you way further in most careers than making good decisions. Unless you're high enough up in your company to seriously shape it's future

What does installing a linter have to do with using a subset of a language? Just... use the constructs you're familiar with? It's not like you can "accidentally" use an ES6 class or something.

That's exactly why it's so important to try and constrain the system to as close to human parameters as possible. You can't compare strategic prowess if the two players are playing at a completely different level. It'd b

Huh. Suddenly America's ability to buy land in Civilization V makes a whole lot more sense.

I mean, I've seen very technically proficient devs fail to deliver because there's too many cooks in the kitchen, or because they drown themselves in tooling or bikeshed their project to death. Maybe something like that happened?

Keep in mind I'm not recommending that you don't use React. I'm using it for a hobby project right now. I just mean that you should understand all the concepts behind it so that if you need to move to another tool for a par

The ironic thing is that your average JS toolbox has the power to sink a startup. You need to be able to iterate fast by utilizing the basics. When you're brand new and facing 30 competitors you're going to get rolled by the 2-man

I don't think this does that well at all. 70% of the stuff on there is textbook "hip and trendy". If you want to know what to learn, learn web fundamentals. Learn the Web APIs and everything that's been standardized in H

I don't see how unit testing prevents that stuff either. How do you write a unit test for a corner case if you've missed it? If you're aware of it's existence, why not just update the code to handle it?

It's still just supply and demand. Sexier products draw more candidates. The only reason you're taking 40% less to work on something cool is because if you don't, someone else will. Most people eventually have to decide wheth

? CRUD apps generally go into production, unless something goes horribly wrong.

by BigJono 8y ago
I know a couple that would tell me to go jump if I suggested they aim for 90% code coverage on a CRUD app. They also write very clean, maintainable code and do it very, very quickly. There's always a trade off.

I have no idea how the development of the PHP language works, but most languages are supported by their community, no? The amount of morons contributing the language tends to scale linearly with the amount of morons using it. Also, I'm
