This was the original premise of the Smalltalk Model-View-Controller architecture. (Not to be confused with web MVC, which reused the name for something else.) The “Controller” in Model-View-Controller refers to the input device, and a give

Same. I’ve been working remotely for 23 years. I love working in an office when I get the opportunity to. The context switch is what I miss the most. It’s a 30 minute bike commute downtown for me. I had a chance to work in an office downto

Okay, I think I get your complaint. JavaScript doesn’t have a metaobject protocol, but there were a variety of user-land approaches to OOP that added one. Although they’re still technically possible, the class syntax formalized a non-MOP ap

The class keyword is just syntactic sugar. JS still uses prototypal inheritance. Nothing has changed. Check out objectplayground.com for details.

Speaking as someone who’s done both, you write the same tests either way. The main benefit of the type system is for IDEs, which have better code completion and automated refactorings when they can statically analyze types. Types also make

FiveThirtyEight made a big splash in its 2008 election debut. According to Wikipedia, there were numerous media outlets competing for its content in 2010. That likely gave Silver a lot of leverage. The same is probably true in 2014, when Fi

Sounds like it could be a component of the back end for either one. A complete feature flag system would also need a business-friendly front-end that product managers could use to roll out features and track how many people were using each

No, they didn’t end up using WebComponents. The real issue was that it was too much trouble to have Elm & React in the same codebase. They were migrating the code to Elm, but then merged with another company. Now 75% of their company wa

You're correct, of course. I didn't realize you were using the "managerialism" in a formal sense. And you're right that it's common... not because people are explicitly subscribing to "managerialism"
