The same argument can be made for non-ui abstractions.

For learning purposes, I would advise sticking with React. Being more mature, you'll likely be able to find answers to your questions more easily. Pluralsight, for example, has lots of great courses on React but none on Inferno. Knowle

Having worked in a bullpen style office (I now work from home), it wasn't the open floor plan that was a problem, it was the number of people management crammed into that open floor plan that became problematic. At one point, we had co

We recently moved a big piece of code from custom script loading -> requirejs -> webpack. I really couldn't even tell you how we managed to do it. I think it helped that we had a few goals in mind and we set out to find a better

Thank you for this! I've been patiently waiting for someone more motivated and intelligent than myself to create a free inline test runner. You are my hero. Keep the project open source, free, and plop a donations button on the page an

That's not even the biggest problem with this method. The name is totally wrong.

I don't agree with this. Driving a scooter/motorcycle is certainly different from driving an auto/manual car. Your comparison is closer to CDL/non-CDL. I've never heard of a situation where a person harmed themselve

Does anyone have screenshots or examples of hate speech from these accounts? I would like to make an informed decision about whether I should continue using Twitter. I use Twitter every day, but if they're banning accounts because they

This is where OP lost me as well. "Oh my god no, no one uses jQuery anymore. You should try learning React, it’s 2016." The appropriate response is "Yeah, your problem seems simple enough. jQuery should do just fine." Bu

What else have you tried? All of the alternatives have left me compromising on the way I build my front ends. The docs for Webpack aren't great, and configuring it might be a bit painful, but if there's a better option I would lov

I have an account that was definitely compromised. I had completely forgotten this account existed and never used it to sign up for anything else. I was rather surprised when I realized someone had that email and password.

Don't pure functions come with the disclaimer that no one does anything stupid like overriding the Date constructor or valueOf? Otherwise, we have to either come up with a different name for pure functions with a modified meaning, or w

This explains the awkward "I just got a cool software engineering job at GE" commercials that have been airing on TV. I was wondering who they were targeting with these ads. It sounds like they might be targeting their own employe

It might seem a bit strange, but there is a good amount of value in wrapping native DOM elements. The easiest way to describe it would be when using bootstrap. <Input /> could return <input class="form-cont

It's pretty easy to use... until you have to normalize data and query across one or two joins. I've been forced to build with mongo for the past few months (still not sure why) and I can't think of a single valid use-case for

I worked on a team that was set up exactly like this. Like you said, it was really effective for some ad-hoc discussion about tricky problems. The knowledge sharing was fantastic and I learned a ton. The major downside was the chaos. If you

You're making arguments for pair programming which is different than mob programming. Pair programming is fine. I did it for two years. Like everything in software, there are tradeoffs, but I had no major complaints.

"Here’s the crux of it, typing isn’t the bottleneck in software development" This isn't a good argument for mob programming imo. This argument pretends as if the only reason programmers would ever work individually (or in pai

It sounds like you need to create an anti-exclusion committee for people without Facebook, since your company seems to promote that kind of thinking.

Our company still uses it a bunch. Higher powers enjoy the "benefits" of using bootstrap themes which are bundled with a mess of random jquery plugins from around the internet. Our dev team has actually been quite successful at wr

This is well executed. I attempted to build something very similar about a year ago. I had a decent prototype, but found it rather difficult to aggregate a complete listing of podcasts scattered around the internet. The world needs a centra

React is actually a poor choice for traditional CRUD apps in my opinion. React is at its best when you have a large amount of state to manage.

Having built a rather large SPA with Knockout, these are advantages I've found with React: 1) I don't have to worry about whether a property should be observable or not. 2) When changing a property from non-observable to observabl

Also, how does one average their level of knowledge against things they don't know? If you asked me how good I was at C# 3 years ago, I probably would have said 75%. Three years later, I would say 65%. I'm significantly better at

Fantastic job, and I agree with AustinDizzy. Links to comments would be great.

This is exactly what happened. That particular individual didn't last very long on that team.

I don't agree with this. People who aren't motivated or didn't do anything just make things up. One day I helped another developer fix a simple bug. By help, I mean I sat on his computer and fixed it while he watched. It took
