Can you give an actual use case for this? Because it seems insane. How can you use something without knowing what it is?

I actually don't see why the whole index.js thing is nice. What happened to prefering explicitness? All it does is save a couple of characters, it doesn't make anything clearer. It's just one more noob trap that's neithe

> Binding is a JS problem not a React problem. The fact that these are confused leaves me even less credence in the author. If the author learned about the mess that is JS scoping, they'd understand why binding is necessary. This is

No, because HTML is built into the platform and is a necessity for every web app. Vue is used in like 10% of them, and everything Vue-specific you learn will be useless for 90% of use cases.

Vue might be easier to "learn" under some metrics, but there's no way it's easier to actually understand. Look at the amount of hidden build-time logic in each system. Vue has it's own entire stringly typed DSL, Rea

Why bother? There's no way a PR is going to get through on this. The entire Facebook team seems to fundamentally disagree that web developers should understand code rather than just write it.

As of 2013 there's no way the Coalition can be called "centre-right" by any definition of the scale I've seen.

The hooks docs are complete garbage. They don't explain anything properly and they use dumbed down language that ambiguates important details, in an attempt to make them more "accessible" to beginners (that somehow are too st

Is there anything we can do that will have an actual impact? I don't really rate standing in the streets with signs as an effective tactic in this country. Remember only one of the submissions on this bill was in favour of it, the poli

I'm far more worried that this bill will be forgotten than acted upon. What happens 2 decades down the track when a newly elected government suddenly realises that through 20 years of apathy they've been slowly handed every tool t

This is because people don't realise that there are two axes on the simplicity/complexity graph, not one. So they're operating on different definitions of 'simple'. You can make the development experience simpler, a

Now that this is through I'm sure the rest of the five eyes nations will at least try and follow suit. Our left-leaning party voted for this fucking bullshit too, remember. Jacinda Ardern probably isn't going to save you.

I was hoping Gist would become this, a place for sharing patterns and implementations so that devs would learn what they're doing rather than just blindly playing npm lego. But it doesn't seem to have happened. I think the bigge

The common consensus is that building JS apps without an endless list of dependencies is so slow that you're going to get creamed in the marketplace due to inefficiency. Why should we spend $5m re-inventing the wheel when we could spen

That's basically impossible. Almost every full time job that pays well is some variant of patching together code that other people wrote with very little work on interesting problems. Unless you somehow consider "why is my CRUD ap

You have to wonder where the ethics are on the ground level. I understand that these decisions are made by management in virtually every case, but you still see these kind of dark patterns from places where every engineer is on $100k+ with

There's so much money in web apps now that your average team is flooded with mediocre devs. These joints need "bondage and discipline" languages and frameworks to be productive. It's better business value to have your 50

I'm calling bullshit on all these claims of "massive productivity boosts" when switching to Vue. What on earth were you doing in React that was so unproductive? Maybe if you're bogging yourself down with a bunch of absol

I'm seeing a lot of posts about NextJS here... Adding a (huge) abstraction on top of another (huge) abstraction to solve a problem introduced by the first abstraction is rubbish software engineering. It's one of the oldest anti-pa
