Yeah, this is also true. But "it depends" anyway. BTW author of article mentions also incidental complexity of Java classes. It's worth consider too and maybe it's more accurate picture of problems with Java (and many ot

...and appropriate level of detail doesn't mean every detail should be documented. Sometimes it's better not to document some technical details (which will change anyway, and docs will be obsolete soon).

You could divide (in your head) contract and implementation details. Contract - what "unit" should do, e.g. factorial function should compute factorial for given numbers. But how exactly this is done is implementation detail (will

I think it goes beyond subjective likes/dislikes. I personally like reinventing the wheel, you personally believe in ecosystem, these are just our beliefs. But I think in the long run everything depends on exact project rather on our w

I agree that sometimes the best solution is to use existing library, but I can't agree that traversing graphs is "too complex to implement from scratch in a timely fashion". This very statement reminds me of famous "why

Maybe all these "I'm \d+ years old, and I like this song" before each old* song were written by bots. This would explain a lot. *old song, according to Youtube comments is every song recorded before 2016 AD.

Yeah. Many of these tips are still valid in new Chrome* (despite the fact the article is from 2006 and about Opera) so I think this article can be still helpful (ofc I would verify every tip by making actual benchmarks before I would follow

Think like a tree - e.g. NoSQL databases which allow for keeping hierarchical objects in database (in contrast to relational databases like MySQL).

Think like a stack - e.g. take this from Redux documentation: "In a more complex app, you're going to want different entities to reference each other. We suggest that you keep your state as normalized as possible, without any nest

Why didn't you just pass one element list with your class with it, for example: class MyClass: pass class_list = [MyClass] third_party_function(class_list) # or just third_party_function([MyClass]) ? creating some

yeah, predefined actions for often used features is good (if you assure that it would be possible to add some custom JS action if needed), but frankly I think this project could be better (I mean, really better, it would be killer app), if
