Appreciate the heads-up — Which version and OS? And is it all of the interactive demos, or only some of them?

Eep, sorry to hear that! I haven't heard any other reports, and it's working on my fully-updated iPhone hoping this was just a hiccup.

+1, came here to say this. The comprehensibility of the code matters way more than the length. It’s not like the bugs sneak in once every 50 characters typed. As I’ve gotten more experienced, my code has gotten less fancy and more verbose.

Yep. In addition to being toxic and wrong and pointless, it also reveals that OP isn’t actually very good at the non-JS parts of front-end engineering. It’s easy to assume that something is basic when you only have a basic understanding of

I think an important caveat here is that in a serverside-rendered context, linaria’s 70kb of CSS would be a bigger issue than styled-component’s additional JS. The page can’t render until it has downloaded the CSS. Granted, many react apps

I wish I found your comment a year ago! I had cubital tunnel syndrome as well, and was days from spending a lot of money on the ulnar transposition surgery. It’s been ~4 months since then and it’s 95% better, and improving steadily

I’ve learned a lot about RSI over the past year, having spent about 8 months completely unable to type or use a mouse, trying dozens of things and talking to dozens of people. And the main thing I’ve learned is that every story is unique; t

Hey HN! I created this project because I was sick of how hard it was to google for JavaScript operators; Google ignores certain characters like "?". I would remember the syntax, but not what it was called, or exactly how it worked

Appreciate all the discussion! I touch on this in the article, but I should say: I'm an edge-case when it comes to CTS. Most cases resolve spontaneously. Part of it is that my nerve dislocates when I bend my elbow, and this mobility ca

Hi there! Author here. What I meant is that there is no way to tell certain children to disregard the constraints of a container; if a parent is 800px wide, there isn't a way to say "keep this child in-flow, but fill the viewport&

Ah, I thought “load” was a jQuery plug-in. In that case it’s real code, but it’s only handling the data-fetching; I don’t need React to do that either, but I’d need to generate the hit counter itself (for it to be exactly equivalent, it wou

Really??? Who knew My point is that my example is complex because some client-side code is necessary. The snippet you shared is nice pseudo-code but a real implementation would be comparable in complexity. Either way you need to learn some

Hey folks! Author here. Just a quick clarification, this is NOT a sponsored post by Fauna, as some have claimed. As the article states, the choice for database is somewhat arbitrary, you can swap it out for Mongo or whatever else you’d lik
