This matches my experience. That's not to say that your application doesn't need to do any work on top of the data. Sometimes you need to interpret the data in different ways for different use cases, and often that means applying

I have a question. How would you know when you're using an iOS or Android app developed with React Native? Is it possible that you're only unimpressed when you actually notice something is off? Because, in my experience, React N

It's easy to call out trivial examples because they're trivial, but you're missing the forest for the trees. His point is that the cognitive load adds up. One (null == foo) probably won't slow you down noticeably, but th

A linter is also a great way to jump start learning a new language. If you encounter a warning that doesn't make sense to you, look it up. You'll start to get familiar with common language pitfalls without actually getting burned

That's great -- and I'm glad you disagree. It's awesome to find a sustainable level of work that can be repeated like that, indefinitely. I felt the need to speak up because I've seen contribution graphs EXACTLY like the

Good to hear. I actually think that maintaining the streak is pretty cool -- even if it seems like an alarming pace at first glance. Sounds like you're taking a healthy approach to the project. Best of luck!

Edit: As I posted below, my reasoning for this comment is perhaps better summarized by Zach Holman's discussion on the topic of github "streaks" and how he found himself burned out after a long series of streaks. Worth readin

Fair point. That said, I'd argue that chefs, plumbers and doctors do benefit from the ability to solve their own problems with whatever tools available to them, and I'd still include the basics of programming in that list. It&#x27

I liken "Everyone should learn to code" with "Everyone should learn to write." Neither of these statements claims that by learning the skill you are suddenly a qualified industry professional. It's about having a ba

Yes, this is where, in practice, I've seen the adage used incorrectly. Even when Knuth isn't quoted directly, the idea that "premature optimization" is inherently a bad thing has led many a web developer down the path of

Cache-Aside is an Antipattern. It forces you to define your caching logic at the application layer, and suddenly the app must care about--and actually implement--your caching strategy. This is very difficult to scale correctly and is a comm

I'm not sure how much of it is that google tries to reduce the effects of SEO, or that they just keep moving the target. Every time they change their algorithm it seems like a bunch of sites who were practicing one strategy disappear,

One thing that helped me was to actually implement things that made use of the "algorithm stuff." Not just practicing in front of a whiteboard, but real executable code! In particular, anything involving a Tree was never very intu

If you stop paying (e.g. if they increase prices on you), you lose the ability to publish new content. This is different than "free forever." Their "promise" is that existing content will, to the best of their ability, n

The biggest API integration I know of is Splitwise. Their Android app has 500K+ installs and it's probably the same ballpark on iOS, which puts them leagues above a college kid with 2 likes.

Now that Chrome supports notifications (on Android) I was able to uninstall the native Facebook app and rely exclusively on the web version (which actually loads faster for my anyway). Still have the icon on my homescreen, still get the sam

The problem is that this kind of workflow -- where someone iterates through multiple versions of a file or folder, renaming them each time -- results from the work they are doing offline and the lack of offline version control usage. Adding

Agreed that this is a great approach, but the major downside is that you are limiting yourself to candidates who either: a) have the time to do real work outside of their day job and aren't on a restrictive contract preventing them fro

Presumably you (the employer) have less time to do on-site interviews than to assign take-home projects, so landing a real interview is a much better indicator that my (the job-seeker) time will be well-spent. (Hiring is a two way street.)

The amazon links did not have 'tag=' which is what the referral program uses. They just had 'ref=' which is what amazon uses to track how you got around the site. Regardless, the author has since removed the links.

Agreed. There is no need to use a custom flavor of BEM. You might be able to enforce a distinction between elements and modifiers (with elements nested below parents, while modifiers are siblings of the elements they modify) like so: .a

The major difference though is that react is a self-hosted open source library. Yes, Facebook could drop support for it, but there are enough people using it now that it would probably see community updates for quite a while.

Definitely neo4j. If you're on a mac, it's just 'brew install neo4j' and boom you have the free community edition.
