It's not like the underlying problems and learning curves didn't exist before this, though. You had to learn to use and configure Ansible/Terraform/Puppet/whatever to get your "classic" servers up and runn

This jives pretty well with my (admittedly little) experience with Istio. It's certainly frustrating at times, but I still find the documentation is actually pretty decent. It's just that everything seems to lead down a rabbit hol

This is such a defeatist attitude and, I think, completely unnecessary. And saying it as fact sort of perpetuates the whole situation. It doesn't have to be this way. But most people allow it to be this way. > Your co-workers may be

I'm surprised this surprises you! This has all been pretty sudden and taken everyone by surprise, I think. And every sort of business is struggling with this sort of thing. A lot of folks who aren't used to working from home are b

_This_ particular version of the system does, yes. But the next iteration may slightly weaken the privacy for some "legitimate" reason. And the next version slightly more. Then just a bit more. All for seemingly legitimate reasons

Redux is great, and I'm glad to see all this cleared up, to some extent. Especially the bit about the new context API somehow eliminating the need for Redux. I know some people don't like redux and that's fine - don't us

I sort of agree - for now, at least. The tooling around React for debugging is pretty great. React Dev Tools lets you easily debug your component tree. And the underlying source is pretty much what you wrote (JSX doesn't really get in

There are some use cases where this really won't work. For example, if you're doing something like server-side rendering with React, and then try to "rehydrate" on the client-side, the server-side node version may format

I think it's just because "Mobile & Desktop" are grouped together. React Native is still number two in the list, so if they were separated out, you'd have Electron rising to the top on desktop, and React Native stayi

It's not really a clear distinction, though. I have a laptop that has a touchscreen, but also a regular touchpad and sometimes I use an actual mouse with it. Sometimes I touch the screen if it's easier even if I have a mouse conne

In my experience, most SaaS startups are all about "gettin' them logos!" The more "logos" (other well-known companies that use their product) they can pile up and tout on their website, the better. And so they'

The most significant difference is that WhatsApp is at least platform independent. iMessage simply is not an option on Android - it's limited to iPhone users only and it doesn't seem like Apple has any intention of changing that.
