I don't think this is the tipping point. I think this is a sign of things to come... It's a case of leverage. The more Google can be shown to be biased internally or overly 'left', the easier it will be for other countri

You don't need personal experience to have an opinion, if you are capable of reading what other people have written and bringing to bear your own experiences. It does not mean you get to decide anything for others, but it is a basic si

I'm referring to his comment "discriminating based on a protected status (which is illegal and I’ve seen it done)".

The effects of positive discrimination already do disempower women. His argument is that you should improve the environment for groups of people as an incentive rather than doing anything which can be seen as 'lowering the bar'. T

On the contrary, being seen as ideologically homogenous isn't going to be good for a business that is meant to provide information to all of the world. Google are edging ever closer to regulation, and when that happens their stock pric

Technology might be neutral, but capitalism is directing it. (Nothing against capitalism. I just think the general direction will be profit maximisation.)

Points (2) and (3) are fact and not opinion. And it's clearly not an opinion that many large, modern JavaScript codebases are following this practice effectively. I linked to 'React' itself as proof of this... Also, I persona

On the other hand, if you are using `TODO` comments within your code, a good idea is to place something like the `fixme` CLI [0] into a prepush hook [1] so that it is always highly visible. The length of this output then acts as an intuitiv

Your solution is for everybody in your team to maintain a high level of discipline and for QA engineers to use homegrown debugging tools you've added into the console. You have effectively advocated for both NIH syndrome and a social s

But I just demonstrated that it's not understandable or reliable. You are proposing a solution where any badly written code can affect your global state in a way that you can't control for, and in a way that you will not be able t

Redux DevTools is immensely useful. Being able to see all of your state for your application and clearly know exactly which action caused some invalid state is great. It also enables QA to export the actions which caused some invalid state
