I think that most pushes for diversity that we see today are intended to result in monocultures. DEI and similar programs use very specific racial language to manipulate everyone into believing whiteness is evil and that rallying around tha

I think it could be a number of factors: 1. The company has built a culture around not being under control by one single company, Microsoft in this case. Employees may overwhelmingly agree. 2. The board acted rashly in the first place, and

No you're right, but the benefit is: a more consistent dev experience across client and server-side. Being able to write the same components in either environment for specific optimization purposes (static rendering vs. interactions) i

Not in a way that scales, if you need it. It all depends on the problems you're trying to solve, and if it gets to a point where I feel like I'm reinventing any of the popular frameworks, I'm just going to use them instead.

React's first flavor (class-based components) are fully backwards compatible with today's React versions. It doesn't seem odd to me that a popular library identifies its pain points and improves its APIs & patterns over t

Better than maintaining vanilla JS applications that reinvented React for no d*mn reason. At least there's a massive pool of engineers who could jump into an old project and work on it right away, rather than wading through some clever

It's worth mentioning that the friction to deploy a web app is nearly zero these days, depending on how complex it is. As an example, shipping a macOS or iOS app, via official means, requires a lengthy review & approval process, up

Why not do both? Gmail's a great example of this. Hold shift while clicking two checkboxes in a range of emails, and watch as the entire range is selected for you to manage. :)

At that point, you're creating and writing a different flavor of date picker -- and in static HTML land, there is no clean way to update page content dynamically based on user input, without some kind of JavaScript library interacting

I love how many folks here seem to think JavaScript (and its popular libraries / frameworks) are somehow threatening to the web. This is like saying people should write native user interfaces for iOS and Android, "but no, not with

The line is very blurry, and the moment you'd like dynamic, interactive content embedded within that static content is when it's time to reach for a view library like React. At that point, I'm just going to start the project

Using PHP and other tools/frameworks that tightly coupled the frontend to the backend codebase made life miserable. While I was excited to get into web development back when these technologies were popular, they were anything but pleas

Do you find that your team often has to reinvent the wheel in terms of what libraries like React/Vue/Svelte have to offer? Doesn't that increase time and scope tremendously?

Astro is an excellent choice! I've never used it, but always wanted an excuse to. I think it blends the best of both worlds, and the fact that you mix various view libraries is powerful!

Precisely. Using libraries / frameworks like React, Vue, Svelte, etc. adds nearly no overhead to the core functionality of whatever it is you're creating, _especially Svelte,_ since it compiles down to the bare minimum necessary t

One of the worst feelings is building a site without a view library like React, getting 80% there, and then realizing you absolutely need dynamic functionality and/or state management because the project's scope changed or started

Completely agree. It's the equivalent to keeping a tidy workspace with others in mind. Teams should spend time narrowing down coding styles, naming conventions, and general rules together over time, and stick to them. As new people are

I agree mostly; one of the tricky areas is pages with split layout containers that are individually scrollable, where it doesn't make sense to use the page/body level scrollbar to control that content. Another common case are smal

Amazing, after scrolling 75% down the huge-a$$ page, they finally show you what they look like after all the nearly useless features were showcased. Neato!

Due to the nature of the discussion, if I mentioned their names here, I would get flagged into oblivion for daring to mention them — I'm not being hyperbolic either (I wish I was!). I neither believe it's safe nor fruitful to disc

Gotta make sure those g'ddamned pirates don't have enough bandwidth to seed their beloved cable-network-owned TV shows and movies, at the expense of everyone else who could benefit from faster uplink speeds. ;)

I don't want to put words into the OP's mouth with regards to his assertion about Schmidt, but given the loose wording: "basically shadow president", it's fair to say it isn't meant literally, and it usually co

This is true, but I think the main issue is whether people are quick enough to call for congressional hearings and decisive actions / lawmaking that would have any impact before it's too late. It's a race to the finish, and b
