Looks great, but the $99/year price doesn't exactly scream "email rebellion".

It's hard to disagree that "it depends", but it's also hard to disagree that "remote work", generally, "works", and that it does so in contradiction with the assumptions and skepticism towards it that

They've been adding features on every release for at least a couple releases. Not sure when you last checked, but regardless, it's getting better.

Our adoption of TypeScript led to a significant reduction in defects, and it definitely isn't killing productivity. Most of the time we take advantage of existing types so if anything it speeds things up in the long run.

So many websites do this. It's been very frustrating for years. I have everything set up to Catalan or otherwise English, but so many websites decide they should force me into their Spanish version. I don't even live in a Spanish-

React doesn't suffer from this. It's React Native.

Thanks for finding that! Yes, it seems like this way of seeling it could cause false expectations. It is still true, though, that "React makes no assumptions about the rest of your technology stack, it's easy to try it out on a sm

Was it sold as "just a view library" from official sources? I understand "just a view library" might have been used to contrast it to full framworks that dictate a lot more than React, but it's important to note tha

It's not really a fork. They reuse things like Monaco, but other than that they reimplement most things, like plugin compatibility. In fact, they started with an API and later implemented the same API as vscode. I'd say it's

From my perspective, working in the browser is not necessarily "just working", because for many combinations of OS/hardware, the performance is terrible and not only eats battery and will slow down other programs, but also af

Thanks for sharing your opinion and being open about your bias and reasoning. Thanks also for pointing out the power asymmetry, as this seems to be often left out from the equation and is IMHO a key point. I think we can analyze the same pr

I'd like to point out that most of the demonstrations where there's been problems (I think calling them violent is an exageration, and also its origin is largely disputed as many blame the police) have nothing to do with Tsunami D

I think in some languages the word for "government" is used to refer to the executive branch or its head more directly, whereas in English it's often used to refer to its multiple branches.

> React is a wonderful view library The React model makes sense because of how state management is part of it, not strictly just the view. I think seeing it just as a view library necessarily leads to the rest of your other conclusions.

I think it's fair criticism to say that hooks are extraneous to JavaScript. However, they are still a better tool for the job of building components, and they solve real and important issues around safety, maintainability and complexit

Hooks are not a new syntax for class components. All the lifecycle logic is recast as building blocks of your render logic. State, props and context become inputs you explicitly declare in the function, effects are explicitly linked to thei

We've also seen dramatic changes in the amount of defects found after migrating most of an app to TypeScript in strict mode.

While it's possible that there's room for improvement, it makes sense that parsing a subset of JS (JSON) is faster than parsing JS. JSON is just so much simpler.

This is the best solution I've found so far. Bring sql to the language instead of abstracting it. Plus changesets, migrations, etc.

This is a very powerful approach because there are json schema libraries available in all major languages. TypeScript is a better source for truth because it can represent things json schema can't. It is possible to generate a json sch
