Can someone explain what the differences are between React and Vue? Why is this a good idea and what benefits would it afford me as a React Native developer?

“According to Google’s data, for native apps 80% of time is spent in each users’ top 3 apps. Just 3 apps!“ I also probably spend a large percentage of my time online on a handful of websites. That doesn’t mean the other 20% of my time isn’t

Cointracker is my goto for automatically tracking trades across multiple exchanges and wallets. I don't even use it for Taxes yet. It's really worth checking out. I expect big things from these guys.

“Really? You don’t see why FB may post a decline in users, after all the pushback they’re getting? Why Twitter might enter a spiral soon? These just seem impossible to you?” Not really sadly. I’ve been monitoring the App Store rankings thro

I agree, the situation with law school a few years ago is a good analogy. Just because you got a degree from a random law school school doesn’t mean you are going to cut it in the real world. My girlfriend is a lawyer who is transitioning t

It really doesn’t feel like a correction right now at least in the tech sector: - The job market is unbelievably hot. - I don’t see why any of the big tech companies will turn in outrageously bad numbers this quarter. - Everyone I talk to i

I’m not so sure. Many tech related jobs are fundamentally hard things for the majority of people to do. Even those with college degrees. The problem with a bad hire in tech is that they can be worse than useless. Mentoring a junior software

“I also think the tech sector in general (especially any company that is driven by ads) is due for a major correction soon, if not a full burst.” Why do you say that? Haven’t all the tech companies been performing well across a variety of m

How do you think the announcement that OSX will be supporting external graphics cards fit into Adobe/Autodesks plans? I don’t really do much video, photo or 3d editing these days but isn’t that all GPU driven? If that’s the case then c

Glad you guys got a lawyer to look into this. Thread very carefully with crypto, taxes and the US government. Good luck.

I agree. Have these guys done any legal due diligence on any of this? Any lawyers care to chime in? I thought you couldn’t do this in many states without a money transmitter license. Also, does this constitute financial advise? That’s also

How should we view these layoffs in comparison to say the ones done by twitter? They did a bunch of layoffs a year or so ago and it’s market cap has recovered significantly since then. The first wave of layoffs Snap did were related to the
