While I have largely moved away from Backbone, what makes Backbone really great, still, is its adaptability. While I wouldn't endeavor to write a brand new application with it so much anymore, it's extremely hackable and especiall

It's actually worse than that. Here's an article from 2 years ago describing how the biggest employers of H1Bs use the program to bring low-paid immigrants into the country, train them, and ship them back home to pay them even les

I'm going to take a not-that-wild guess and suggest that they're completely aware of the inefficiency and moved forward with it because A) it gives the company a fatter profit margin when the customer is paying for less Soylent an

Their optional typing for JS is called Flow, and they've open sourced an IDE of sorts (a suite of Atom plugins) called Nuclide ( http://nuclide.io/ ).

Not sure why you're so quick to jump to the conclusion that there's a conspiracy, but comments appear when people write them. And I'm looking at a whopping score of 3 on my end. Such coordination! Many conspiracy!

Mixed feelings. On the one hand, the people who complained most loudly about this article rewrite should probably examine their motivations. Because I doubt there would have been this level of scrutiny if not for an ugly undercurrent of ant

MacBook 13 or 15 retina. A great 13" for software development can be had for ~$1200. Why Mac: * It's Unix-like. * Homebrew is fantastic for OSS package management. * It's ubiquitous. (Yeah you could use Arch Linux instead of

Ha, so mere days after I told you it's stable I had to ship a fix to make sure that it was serving precompiled assets when they are available. We had never noticed because our server-side assets had never gotten large enough to go over

Very, actually. It's about time I add more tests, maybe remove its opinion about what view context to dump to JavaScript (leave that to the end dev), and version it as 1.0. I think it's had one significant bug in almost a year and

I have it figured out. A long-winded explanation: Honestly I hate the react-rails gem. Whoever was maintaining it kept doing things at the whims of issue requestors. I remember one instance where they broke our apps with an upgrade because

I sort of agree with both of you. Yes, you can do it in a small shop, and my company does. A lot, actually. But I wouldn't say we exactly allocate time to innovation. It's more about taking a long view and integrating the long vie

Postgres provides really nice features for non-relational data these days, though. JSON columns are nice. Hstore is fantastic. And you can even do pubsub. All without introducing another database system into your stack. Is it perfect for al

Much of this is no longer true because, as I understand it, it didn't really scale.

PHP has a huge developer base, and Hack is wonderful. The OSS ecosystem for it hasn't really developed in a significant way. So I'm not nearly as optimistic as you are that Swift will do better.

I am 100% serious, by the way. People have the most ridiculous ideas about why things failed and how it will totally work next time. If they just follow these ego-comforting steps that don't even begin to address the problem. My top at

I guess the point I'm getting at is that the virtual DOM's speed is really just the answer to the question "But isn't re-rendering the whole world over and over really slow?" Which is the first thing anyone deeply f

React.js is actually just really pleasant to work in and easy to reason about, and the virtual DOM is what makes that all possible without it becoming unacceptably slow. DOM diffing isn't there to make React faster than everything else

But they're still not going to let you skimp on the calculus classes. I do think 4-year degree programs should offer people more opportunities for the practical aspects. These don't really have to necessarily be part of the curric
