It sort of sucks how opaque awards/speaker nominations/prize selection can be at times. It does create an environment where things can not be 100% "fair" and there's no way of knowing. It would be interesting to see

I get the impression that Mozilla is a bloated organisation that's resting on goodwill it built up back when Firefox was a compelling user experience. I think one of the main reasons anyone uses Firefox nowadays is because they believe

This product fills me with a deep sense of anxiety and dread. I don't feel like being visually "always on" is helpful for employees or employers. I wish you luck in exploring ways of making people working from home feel more

Makes sense! Many consumers likely already have a USB-C charger, so splitting it up gives people flexibility. I will be interested to see how they communicate this to prevent first time iPhone users being left without a charging cable/

From this thread it seems a lot of people aren't very familiar with React Hooks yet. I highly recommend diving into it. useEffect can replicate lifecycle methods in a way that's much more sensible and easy to read if done right (i
