hooks were created to replace the functionality of mixins, not necessarily to replace lifecycles The react team could have easily added a useDidUpdate() and useWillMount(), but they didn't because the new abstractions cover the mixins

One funny thing about React is that the most dangerous kind of developer is the one with middle-level knowledge of it beginners don't know enough to do optimisation seniors know enough that they only optimise what is needed mid-level a

This is partly why browsers and javascript got so much traction. Also why I expect webassembly to eventually be the default compilation target. Who knows WASI might evolve to be that de-facto OS API layer From wikipedia: Solomon Hykes, a co

it is not much different from using python with QT on linux for example

that was true a while ago, but react-native-web works pretty well these days. You do need to write your code react-native first though (ie your code is react-native and react-native-web adapts it to work in the web) but a lot of things are,

it is because they are not afraid to drop to native when it makes sense, see: https://discord.com/blog/why-discord-is-sticking-with-react-... react-native is NOT a total replacement for native code, you still need nati

yeah migrating an existing app to react native is usually not a good idea, either rewrite (maybe keep a few native modules for niche things) or keep doing full native Incrementally adding react native to an existing app is orders of magnitu

funnily enough there are plenty of coding necessary to get around relational database limitations in large-scale projects. If anything low-code and no-code tools increase the demand for coders even more because more projects become possible

by DanielHB 5y ago
most likely not so long ago he would have not bothered because it would be too expensive it more like no-code and low-code makes smaller projects more viable, even small projects within big companies
1211.
by DanielHB 5y ago
of course it is a balancing act, plenty of companies use no-code or low-code tools for limited small-scale uses. Classic one is CMS, few companies have legitimate reasons to build their own custom CMS instead of using a SaaS one. You need t

These kind of no-code or low-code tools are VERY common in enterprise, like SAP, Salesforce, CMS solutions, IBM Tivoli products, and on and on. But companies are starting to realise that those tools often have some hard limits on what you c

airtable is a thing, thing is as these tools get more powerful they also become more complicated to use. It gets to the point you need one (or several) specialists in the tool to do the work and then you might as well build a custom system

Relational Databases are essentially no-code replacements for b-trees. I have worked in several companies where the managers could not do any coding, but could wipe out an SQL query to get some data point they needed. Heck building an UI th

think about it like this, have you ever tried to get a lay-person to switch platforms? windows->linux MacOS->windows android->iOS iOS->windows phone (RiP) they will bitch and moan all god damn day long, especially on the desktop

Well the answer is complicated but the main things are: 1. When smart phones first started (2007) web tech was not nearly good enough to make the experiences that the smart phones were capable of providing. So many things are still very har
