   I worked for a few years at an agency that adhered very closely to these principles, and you know what? When things started to rapidly change around 2013 everyone was consumed and overwhelmed, and when it came time to necessarily onboard

   This is the ES6 guide I send around to those who are trying to get up to speed with JavaScript -- its fantastic.

   With Babel you can always be sure you're on top of things, with experimental stages being available to the user for testing future language proposals (ES7, ES8, ES20) and a to-die-for plugin architecture. ES6 has become pretty minimal

   I just timed it and it was less than 5 seconds. I would suggest giving 1.0 a spin before you judge.

   You can write in Plain JS if you want (it supports Babel, apparently); CoffeeScript is not a hard limitation, just a preference.

   Nope. Most of the code editor settings are there in the main config to be tweaked, and new packages can be installed right inside the preferences / command line. If you have a lot of style settings in your vimrc, the ability to use an

   From the perspective of a web app developer it's just so modern. The language of the interface takes all of the (admittedly subjective) best-practice lessons that the web has taught us over the years and embeds them directly in, and t

   Honestly, its not slow anymore between their React integration and this: http://blog.atom.io/2015/06/16/optimizing-an-important-atom-... . Feels ~95% native.

    I made the switch yesterday not knowing 1.0 would be released today, and I am seriously psyched. Their Vim bindings are now good enough, and there are tons of tweaks you can do to make them better (which will inspire more people to contrib

    See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kids_for_cash_scandal for an example of why this is a bad idea in practice .

    I had an enormous amount of trouble interviewing / whiteboarding initially but I got used to it pretty fast. However, I would still prefer a take home test as I feel its a far better qualifier than an in-person interview.

    When I made the transition over to JS from another language a few years ago, this was exactly how I did it; I expected to have some kind of system in place that provided the tooling I needed to get the language that I wanted , and immediat

    Its funny, I used to really enjoy CoffeeScript but since Babel / ES6 has come out I can't stand it anymore! ES6 has just the right amount of syntax, with lots of optionals too (semicolons, no brackets when writing function expres

    Once you do it once, its done. Also, tons of scaffolds out there to choose from / tweak. This sort of flexibility is a good thing.

    Given the subject matter and its broad implications, I would most definitely give him the time of day. Lets spend the 21st century cleaning up the incarceration mess of the 20th, and start looking addiction from the perspective of science

    How does this relate to to the post other than general, tongue-in-cheek criticism?

    With React.js this pattern has become much more prominent and simple, with pretty obvious benefits being shown with little effort.

    Curious if anyone has any other potential applications they can share? The authors listed only a few, but the possibilities seem quite vast.

    Agreement? Who gives a fuck. Spend a couple years in the USA and you'll soon understand that contractual obligations are paradoxical at best.

    Sometimes 10 minutes is all you need. I feel like years of heavy partying wrecked my memory and I've been meditating for about 8 months and I can feel it returning to what it once was.
