It's seeming pretty fashionable these days to bash SPAs. I disagree that SPAs were mistake (or that it's often a mistake to reach for a SPA, even today) SPAs are now and have been a great tool to leverage when you want to build an

Curious what makes you think distributed teams are less effective? I've personally been much more effective with my output working remotely than I ever was with the noise and distractions of the office. I've seen excellent product

I'll miss the old MDN and never had any issues browsing the docs there. The content is what matters at the end of the day, and kudos to the team for the redesign. I do have a couple of complaints though. 1. Font weight (especially with

Much of this discussion is about frameworks, technology and trends in JavaScript as a language. However, I personally find it shocking to see such a huge disparity when reviewing the gender breakdown between male, female and non-binary htt

How exactly does it penalize people who paid off their loans? I'm not following that line of reasoning. If you could pay off your loans, then that's great. You should feel good about that accomplishment.

Anyone in a privileged position is not going to be incurring tens to hundreds of thousands of student loan debt because they don't have to. The people disproportionately affected by student loans and are borrowing huge chunks of money

> Debt forgiveness for student loans is a horrible idea. This comment reeks of privilege. It ignores the fact that vulnerable people, poor people may have made a decision to to try to improve their future at a young age, say 17 or 18, an

I agree with this statement and am disheartened that the solution for communities (in particular developer communities) that is now winning is Discord. This is however not a new problem. Both Slack and Twitter are also black holes of inform

How do you not understand that many people with families or other external obligations wouldn’t have the luxury of spending 7 hours a week for multiple months on leetcode?

Plenty of sites I use daily have nice features and reliability and while they aren't all perfect -- they help me do my job, learn and communicate. It's pointless to go down the rabbit-hole of identifying which sites I find useful

I think this question embeds two assumptions that aren’t constructive. First of all, it associates the “modern web” with Twitter and Reddit. There is more to modern websites and apps than those two companies. There are a lot of beautiful an

> Why there should be sustainability built in? I don't think it should be built in by default to any software that is released open-source. But, I do think having guidelines for how software can be developed in such a way that doesn

I really liked an article on the subject of sustainability in open source by Dave Rupert. See https://daverupert.com/2021/12/sustaining-maintaining/ One of the of the points Rupert drives home is that open so

Long time React and Angular dev here. I've tried Svelte a few times now, hoping it feels better and something clicks with me each time I try it. But, I just don't get it and give up every time. I end up spending more time trying t

I could see this working well for teams that are engineering led and where customers don't expect a ton from the software. If you're trying to ship fast and get to market quickly, then fine, skip the tests, skip the code review. O

Yeah -- I LOLed at this one because I've caught at least hundreds, maybe thousands of bugs during review on pull requests. It's weird and silly to expect prevention with tool that is not designed to prevent. Peer review (and the P

I've been troubled by the just plain awful results being delivered by Google search over the last few years. I think these are just plain hard problems to solve and that Google is not incentivized to solve. Google wants you to click on

The title intrigued me because it _is_ something I agree with. Speaking as a mostly frontend dev, it's been easy to experience a breadth of innovation and new programming/deployment paradigms. Lots of interesting rabbit holes to g

I'm amazed by the amount of shade I've seen lately being thrown onto SSGs and building websites with static HTML. Though, it seems to be permeating from folks that have a vested interested in having you run code on a (or their) SS

This isn’t how I see it really. It doesn’t make sense to label DHH as just a product guy. He is an engineer that designed a software framework. The fact that all alternatives you see are done by engineers doesn’t feel that shocking because,

Yes, I agree that remote alone is not the complete picture. More anecdata: I work for a medium sized distributed company and we have seen a decent amount of churn. I have also been involved in the hiring process for backfills/replaceme
