   I think that there's good advice in this article, but a couple counter-points: - Plenty of software developers work for small- to mid-size companies where the Node or Rails server running on your machine is nearly identical to the one

   You should let them know specifically what problems you ran into! I'm sure they'd be willing to improve their documentation, they just need to be given constructive criticism :) I've used Victory and didn't run into any

   You're right, but that doesn't make this any less awesome :) To me, it's a demo of what's capable with the Web Audio API. It's _amazing_, because with a URL you can share a drum machine equal to any of the other emu

   So, the issue is that CSS transitions only handle CSS attribute changes. For example, if I apply a CSS attribute like `transform: translateY(100px);`, I can easily animate that using CSS. When an item's DOM position changes, there&#x27

   I'm most proud of React Flip Move ( https://github.com/joshwcomeau/react-flip-move ), an animation library that does exactly one thing: animate transitions when DOM nodes change positions (eg. list re-ordering). I w

   Ughhh. It's fine if you prefer statically-typed languages to dynamically-typed ones, but that's a preference, not a reason to try and say that JS is objectively terrible. Same with switch fallthrough, same with error handling, sam

    https://www.google.com/trends/explore?q=bower,npm "Dying" is a bit strong, but there's no question that NPM is becoming the go-to choice for javascript development across the stack.

    I think that there's two distinct ideas here, and they're fused together. One of them (IMO) is valid, the other is not. "Programmers spend too much time attention-seeking, or debating online, instead of actually writing code&

    Lame! You could use last.fm, maybe? I think there are a few providers that have this kind of info.

    It is indeed a joke! One that is too subtle, though; half a dozen people have told me about this "bug" :)

    That's an amazing idea! Wish I had the spare time to dedicate to it D:

    Yeah, I almost did this. What stopped me is that I assume most people using it do not have spotify accounts, and it seemed lame to link to (what would become) a signup page. Agree that it needs _some_ kind of call-to-action though. There&#x

    You are exactly right; this is really just an alternate Spotify interface :) I think there's value in extracting a single feature out of a larger system and making a custom interface around it. And yeah, the footer is a joke :)

    Outsourced to the Spotify API. Would have loved to take a crack at solving that problem, but limited time for side projects :)

    Cool! At a glance, it looks similar to my approach. Different tools, but same rough architecture.

    Indeed. I looked briefly into how multi-line SVG text elements work and it was not encouraging, so I let it be. I'll look into tspans though, thanks!

    Thank you! 1. The data is from Spotify's API. I use 3 endpoints (artist info, artist top tracks, related artists). Really this is just a shiny interface over their API. 2. Yeah. The previous artist is meant as a way to go back in time
