One of the best articles I've seen on writing documentation is "What Nobody Tells You About Documentation" [0]. It divides docs into four categories: Tutorials, How-To Guides, Discussions, and References. I'm currently

I agree that you need a pragmatic approach to using types. That said, I also strongly believe that meaningful use of TS is a vital requirement for any project that will be maintained over time or involves multiple people. I wrote my though

I'd suggest using Yarn's "offline mirror" functionality, which lets you commit the exact set of packages into the repo, then install them when the repo is checked out without needing additional network requests. https:&

Which is indeed one of the points of Redux. The more of your app you can write as pure functions, the more of it is predictable and easily testable, so you don't have to worry about how it's going to behave. That's part of wh

I'm not sure what point you're trying to make here. Both of those examples are _specifically_ about using React to do the actual DOM manipulation. React-Bootstrap is a set of React components that know how to generate the correct

If you look back at a typical 2011-ish jQuery app, the exact opposite is true. You might have a modal visible in the page, but the only indication code-wise that the modal existed was in the DOM itself, because there was a one-time mutation

Because React, more so than the other frameworks, puts such a strong emphasis on "the UI output is entirely based on your state", while at the same time there are some limitations to tracking state in ways that are inherently tied

Sorry, I have no experience with Flutter or knowledge of how Redux is being used with it, other than having seen one or two random comments where the two names appeared together.

Looks like it's primarily because it turns on the "PnP" feature by default, which keeps packages cached in compressed files instead of extracting them into `node_modules`. Most tools rely on files being on disk in `node_modu
