The only thing I'm openly disrespecting beyond the unholy mess that is the web of 21-st century, is react and potentially it's designers(I was raised not to be offended but if they are, good riddance). The web is in the worst shap

jsx is a retarded idea because it adds an abstraction over something brutally simple(html). Abstractions are good when you are trying to make something complex user-friendly and simple. > Throw in a routing library, and you are pretty mu

I'm unsure how popular or unpopular opinion this is, but I've been very happy with the current recommendation algorithm. Sure, every now and then something stupid pops up, like today it recommended me the channel of a software eng

Hah, reminds me of this literature teacher I had in school. She asked us to write a report on the positive aspects of Hamlet. I remember sitting at home and thinking "Well... It could have been worse - more people could have died, that

Similar story here, except I have 551 attempts in the last 72 hours alone. Mostly Singapore and China.

You'd be right if I had not given arguments for my statement. I did as a matter of fact.

Ah react, the biggest crap of them all. A 12 year old with basic programming skills is definitely capable of designing a better "framework". Yes, everything frontend is quoted because it's nothing more than a joke at this poi

No, I'm talking about js as a whole. Standard library is crap, inconsistent, even the most basic of naming conventions are not followed anywhere. The fact that the standard library jumps between camel case, pascal case, snake case and

If by surprisingly little, you mean 4 pages and 500mb of requirements for a "hello world" project with the "modern" web, then yes. The DOM has always been a mess, much like javascript. And the fact that no one has tried

by axegon_ 6y ago
My thought exactly, though I fully support that. I often rant about how the modern web is billions of layers of duck tape over duck tape and it has become an unmanageable mess of libraries, frameworks, resources, all while javascript remain

"Future thinking is future trashing". Though I've had mixed feelings about this quote, in the case of the author this is probably valid. Yes, microservices are not a bad idea. They are in fact a great idea and they are needed

Not just 40+. I'm just over 30 and I've felt that way for a while. I have a lot on my plate but other than that I live alone so I do have the time and energy to focus on learning the bleeding edge and I do enjoy it. But the truth

Sure, it's not the same as Google/Facebook but you get my point. I spent 8 and a half years developing a CRM for mobile applications and it's not like I haven't poked my nose into the petabytes of data. The reality is th

In theory, yes, that's true. That is, if we completely ignore the Pareto principle(which I'm willing to bet is in full effect here). Looking at what they have on their portfolio(Tinder, okcupid, match, etc.), I think it's saf

While Signal is pretty awful on desktop(not to mention this[1] thing), it is my goto messenger on my phone. Brilliant security and props for being one of the very few to extensively use Rust in production. I was really sad to see they hire

Mmmmnah, not buying this list. I've had some first hand experience with some of the groups/organizations on that list and they are something to stay the hell away from.

Go unfortunately suffers from something similar: packaging. Even if you don't know the history of go, you have to look at it only once to figure out that this part is a hacky afterthought. Like everything in js. Also comparison of scri

The language designer's intentions were completely different(very similar situation as the situation with php). His intentions were to give very basic interactivity to the plain documents that was the web. And for that purpose javascri

This is actually really easy imo. 1. For people who have worked on open source - just look through their code, their commit and you'll see how they think and operate. 2. If 1 isn't applicable, give them homework, not a test. Give

I gave a lot of thought on that example when I first watched the video many many years ago. And I think it all comes down to experience and it has far less to do with good taste. To a junior developer the first solution is perfectly valid a

The problem is that javascript is fundamentally flawed by design. It has the __WORST__ and most idiotic type system out there, it has no clue whether it wants to be oop or a functional language and there are outrageous amounts of inconsiste

React is a symptom of the disease that is js. Unorganized, entangled spaghetti of unreadable and undebuggable code and callbacks. And js is not a real language. Or to put it in another way, javascript is to a programming language what a pap

That's your problem, isn't it. I mean I was the lead developer of the team, it was in line with my manager's views. And as a lead developer of the team I'd never want to torture any of the other devs by having them deal
