I learned them together as my first web development lang/framework, coming from C for microprocessors. I used the excellent Rails Tutorial [0] by Hartl. Just look up things you don't know/understand as you go - he also introd

I work on a software suite to optimize the dosing/infusion of various drugs. The software helps people recover more quickly, so I feel like I am contributing to someone's well being.

I started on Medium way back (2-3 years ago) since it was easy and the UX was relatively clean. The main benefit I continue to enjoy is a large audience; lots of people find my articles who might not otherwise have. I think it's best t

I read the Redwall books in high school! Great fun, maybe I’ll revisit. My favorites were Mossflower and Martin the Warrior.

Looks interesting, but I don't see a compelling reason to choose Z over the myriad of other transpile to JS languages out there. I wonder if the author or user(s) can chime in?

I play piano! Started when I was 21, now 29. I can play most intermediate Chopin waltzes and some Mozart (again, easy - medium level).

I work at a Perl shop and we use Sqitch [1]. It helps manage your migrations, you write three raw SQL scripts per change: deploy, verify and revert. The tool works with any DB or backend, since it only does the schema. It does NOT integrate

I am a Vim guy but find VSCode is the only option for TypeScript; none of the Vin plugins work quite as well. I'm happy with it. I much prefer my Vim setup, though, but for TS the seamlessness of VS Code is too good to give up. I enjoy

I learned Japanese to a level where I can read novels without a dictionary, more or less. I just looked the words up one by one - I think the amount of time to look up a word actually made me learn them better. If I only saw a word once, I

I have used both React and Vue in large, long lived apps. I personally found both to be excellent - React has better TS support as of now. When Vue 3 hits with its internal TS api and you can use TSX as a first class citizen, I’d say you co

This may have been true for some industries historically in japan, however modern day softwave developers will change job every 2-3 years, same as in the west, for the same reasons.

Learning Japanese. Although this can apply for any language different to your own, it opened my eyes to a new way of thinking and lots of literature, ideas and culture.

Yeah. It’s a fairly small and young company (5ish years) so I knew I’d be taking a paydrop but I think the experience and Japanese practice was worth it! There are tons of tech events you can use Japanese at, try finding them on compass.com

Also not the parent but I have been in Japan for three years now (but leaving to move to my home country soon). I'll share my experience. I had basically no truly "negative" experiences based on my race. I am fluent (understa

This was the thing that helped me most. I just can’t make myself excited about the price of a house or the size of a tumor. Stats and predictions for my favorite sport, on the other hand, gave me context that naturally made me ask questions

Japan has no images warning of dangers of anything like that on boxes of cigarettes as far as I can tell (living here for several years) and there is much less a stigma around smoking compared to my home country (Australia).

Is a todo app really a good way to compare any kind of language or framework? I work with several large apps, some in Vue and some in React. After the learning curve, they are more or less the same. They solve the same problem, more often t

I had the chance/experience to train a new team in Vue.js (and thus modern JS) which I imagine is similar to people learning React. I noticed the same thing as the author - the new JS frameworks are "all about JavaScript". Wi

I work in Japan and most of my coworkers speak next to no English. I also see them mostly googling in Japanese to find answers to questions, or searching on popular Japanese-based websites (qiita, hatenablog). A lot of the popular framework

Not really sure I get the constant Vue v React debate. They both do basically the same thing and each support almost all the concepts the other does. Both are great, neither is significantly better (after about a year full time with both in

I wonder how much correlated the pay/framework data is? A lot of orgs I know using Vue.js moved to it from jquery -- so I suppose a lot of people using Vue.js might use in the same way, for just a bit of dynamic functionality. React se
