This is an interesting bit in particular: Data management became as critical for the hunters as marksmanship skills. As goats are social animals, sterilized Judas goats, fitted with radio collars and then released into the population, woul

I think I didn't make my point quite clear. Let's consider the case where version 3.1 needs to return something different than version 3. A good (IMHO) early-return pattern would look like this: if (version >= 3.1) { re

This style gets the label 'poor-mans-pattern-matching' from me. If pattern matching would not be in my daily vocabulary, as it's also not available in JS, I'd consider it a misuse of switch/case and this post also m

I think you're misunderstanding the critique of the parent... In the software world we often tend to interpret "The perfect is the enemy of the good." as "If it's the only software solution it most certainly must be

Unfortunately not. DDD is a design concept on how to match the business domain in source code - the design step is language independent and the practical implementation is very business dependent. I'm also keen to find a good practical

A project in TypeScript is not much different from one in JavaScript structure wise. The biggest difference might be the explicit work on types and modeling your problem to make good use of composite types. In the source code you'll ha

I think the sentiment of "you dont know what you dont know" is especially cumbersome with JS, since its usability is so much defined by its extensions (WebAPIs, runtimes etc.) Reading into specs (ECMAScript[0], W3C[1]), some more

Unfortunately I have to disagree. I tried to setup a simple NixOS machine this week. From this experience I couldn't manage to install any GNOME extensions via the browser plugin because of some Firefox manifest location that conflicts

My take on it would be the approach from SICP[0]: separate data (objects) from transformations (streams). On a personal note I would also like to add: - keep data serializable - cluster transformations accordingly (Keep things that belong t

To come back to the OP: "Why does front-end development change so often?" I think a lot of technology that was solely available to the backend for a long time is now possible to do in the frontend (including machine learning with

Your approach seems to create an abstraction on top of react where the next step could only be a DSL. This is a first indicator for me that the developer will loose those programming capabilities that react carefully tries to retain and I&#
