See wiml's sibling comment for a correct reason why someone might be confused by such sentences. "Not" negates, so it is definitely not modifying "must". Clearly the word being negated is "run".

I skimmed that essay. Zealous activities to make existing users happy seemed to be the emphasis. It's possible that there were zealous activities for acquiring users mentioned somewhere, but I missed them because they were less emphasi

I only used it recently, 3.0.1, but it has seemed clean to me. But I'm the opposite re. build methods. I'd rather not think about build methods and just stay focused on the app.

Actually cra hides the boilerplate configuration in react-scripts. If you want to touch the configuration that you never need to touch, there's eject. It's my intention never to use eject. The only useless thing I recall removing

The hypothesis behind HowTruthful is that hypertext provides a better UX for exploring pros and cons than a nested collapsible tree would. Try it and see if you agree. There are still bugs and missing features, but I think I'm far enou

In the general case, judging obvious vs non-obvious isn't much easier than judging true vs false.

Could you please be specific about which part of the reasoning given in the article you think is not solid? The company insists that it does not want to be in the position of judging what is true and false, with its head of communications,

The article refers to "the much-abused YAGNI" and links to another blog post that goes into detail. Apparently some people take YAGNI to mean never anticipate anything. Is that your experience? I've always taken it as a tie-b

The platforms, towers and undersea cables are already paid for. Replacing one piece of the system isn't starting over. The math presented was of all return on investment ending at 20 years.
