I can dig this. That said, if a mechanic says “if you don’t get this repair your tailpipe is gonna fall off” and you say “nah let’s risk it”, you’re not gonna go back to him when it falls off and say “wow I can’t believe you let me drive my

I gotcha. I guess the confusion from my end is that I’ve yet to have a software development job where I wasn’t developing a product. No one in the orgs I’ve been a part of refer to the “product” team as the “product development” team. It’s

Channing, thanks for sharing this. I hope it’s an inspiration for some other entrepreneurs out there!

I see what you’re saying and I agree. But to continue down this path one last time, I still think what you’re saying meshes with my original point. If you’re big enough for Facebook to care to leverage this against you, you’ll have a legal

Okay sure, they could “afford” it, but that doesn’t mean they would want to. And if there’s even a feeling on the legal team that some day it might be an issue, why not just use what you’d someday have to switch to and start investing in th

I’d agree if Airbnb were the only large company using React, but they’re not. They were just the company I chose to mention. There’s also Twitter who just went all in building Twitter lite, Wix who is huge in the native navigation world, an

by bcarroll22 9y ago
I don’t know if this really answers my question. You have to assume Airbnb, for example, has a legal presence that is very involved in tech decisions and how they might hurt the business. What I imagine was a very thorough scrutinization pr

by bcarroll22 9y ago
I think this is exactly what I am saying. There are companies using React that are much larger than anyone who is worried about this, and they don’t seem phased by it. That has to mean something.

by bcarroll22 9y ago
Serious question. React has been around for a while. Companies like Airbnb and Wix, for example, have been using React for a while. If Facebook were going to leverage this the way people are scared of, wouldn’t there be some example of them

I guess probably just fundamentally different experiences. We couldn’t have afforded to put any more time into optimizing for mobile, but most users I talked to didn’t even care to look at the mobile site before insisting they couldn’t use

We keep track of ticketing, so whenever a customer has a support question, it opens a new Slack channel as a "ticket", and invites the people you want added to support conversations.

Founder here. To start the conversation, I figured I'd share that this was built with React and Laravel. We use React, React Router and Redux for the frontend. We use Laravel mostly as a Rest API, and to hydrate our initial Redux state
