The Clojure, and ClojureScript, hype train is effective. I've been interested in learning Clojure for several years. Every other week, or so, I'll see a tweet or blog post that makes me want to drop JavaScript and move over to Clo

I was looking into using lambda functions called in response to an S3 event. Specifically, I wanted to create a record in my SQL database after a file is uploaded to S3. Users are uploading directly to S3 using pre-signed requests, so I nee

Part of the beauty of markdown, imo, is its simplicity. If I ever have a question about markdown syntax, I can glance at the original docs and have the answer in less than 30 seconds.

Why would this be free forever? Seems like something you could charge at least a small, one-time fee for.

I currently write software for an e-discovery company. Most tasks that our software is expected to be able to perform are simple-sounding tasks, at first glance, such as ... 1. extracting documents from within other documents (attachments o

A lot of explanations here about how other people learned to use programming as a tool for themselves, but everybody is different. One person's analogy for using code might not work for you. You have to discover what works for you on y

I'm not very familiar with React or Angular's history, but wasn't the idea of diffing a virtual DOM something that React kind of came up with, after Angular had been around? Isn't your comment kind of unfair, because you

I've owned and used both a 4k monitor and a 144 Hz refresh rate monitor. I personally value the higher refresh rate over the higher resolution. My 4k monitor is actually difficult for me to use, because it feels like the software has n

I've never worked on a larger javascript project, so I'm not sure why you'd care if your front-end js renders on the server (i'm assuming this means no visual browser). Is this for purposes of automated testing?

I remember a day where I was proud that my C projects took a few seconds to compile. Made me feel like I had written something with some umph to it.

While watching the video, I kept hoping he'd look down at the cubes and "jump down" to them. Like, enable gravity and jump down onto the cubes as a player. That'd have been awesome.

Good point. I was taking the parent's post literally, where jquery.com was used.

So, yea I think this is a great thing and I don't mind JSX. It has been a pleasure to use ... I think. I can't help but be reminded about original PHP, though. When PHP was new, you could write PHP but then you could also write yo

As a truck owner, is there a way to make sure that I never end up on this website? :) Just kidding. Any truck owner knows the joys of having every non-truck-owner ask to borrow the truck.

Based on my current connections, and experience, I can't fully see myself ever getting the chance to do so, but I'd love to have the opportunity to work on similar problems - at Facebook or anywhere. I've always loved working

Hey, I just wanted to sign-in and comment to say that at some point in the past, I found myself reading your book website. I do recall back then it had way less chapters, and I remember hoping that it'd find its way to completion event
