The idea of pure functions deriving UI from state is the single central idea of React's worldview. The docs work extra hard to get this model of apps into your brain. This is not the same thing as people being elitist about Git, this i

``` The quickest obstacle you’ll run into as someone new to React will be something like this function MyComponent() { const [num, setNumber] = useState(42); // infinite loop setNumber(n => n + 1); return <div&gt

A common situation in my country is that quite a few high school math teachers are psychotic sadists -- maybe a few of the hardest-working students will clear the bar for the equivalent of an A or B. Sometimes the students with "the mo

Oh no, if anything I've been super lucky in that regard. It's just that a dinner with 2 good friends is a much different vibe from a barbecue with 15 people, 10 of which you've never met, and I miss the latter, especially pos

FWIW, I went through sirchit.com top-to-bottom twice, and I have no idea what the product is. It looks like something out of HBO's Silicon Valley. "It's about people" is a weird pitch to make a highly technical utility l

A lot of people who stayed did so because of H1Bs, and a lot of those people were sacked last night. Imagine having to find a new job in 60 days, starting the night before Thanksgiving. My heart goes out to those poor folks.
