You can easily unit test the customisations you make to your shell (edit: I meant to write terminal here), and can share them with other engineers in a modular and easy-to-install way. Since JavaScript is a more 'popular' language

Kind of insane that they've reached this point. Why didn't they attempt to monetise journalism by providing users of Twitter with a subscription that allows them to skip the paywalls of big newspapers and that could automatically

I don't think that will happen with create-react-app since its intention is zero customisation. You can't generate more complexity with a tool that reduces opportunity for developer choice. A basic example is that a starter app w

I wouldn't say that was spin, I said that build complexity is likely going to be handled by fewer engineers. The underlying problem still exists but less people need to put their oar in: that's bittersweet.

It's not so much that churn has been greatly reduced, but that the worst churn has started to be centralised and hidden behind tools like `create-react-app`. There will still be more churn as people come up with ways to be more product

Cognitive ability isn't equally distributed. It's not fair to call people that find programming difficult lazy. You can work harder and longer, but it only pays off up to a certain point. There are some tasks which require more in

That's also true but I was also imagining a system which generated and sent on a micropayment authentication id via a redirect when paywalled links are clicked. Rather than users visiting publishers to find that they'd already rea

by lhnz 10y ago
Completely agree. Unfortunately I think they're still chasing the wrong dollar. They should be monetising their publishers and not just their audience. Twitter should let publishers paywall their articles and then authorise and take mi

I agree with you that it is more explicit than looping: I actually think that with complicated logic, loops suffer from even worse problems, and for simple things most people just `filter`, `reduce` or `map`. That said, I do think the debug

What you're describing is how normal functions are generally written. If there is no difference in complexity between writing a function that calls itself and a function that just computes some data and returns it then surely this disc

Explaining recursion is a lot easier than writing recursive functions. I can actually describe explicitly why I've occasionally found writing a recursive function hard. In fact I expect a UI could be created that would make it much muc
