Someone from the deep state to distribute misinformation. A conspiracy theorist actor. A disinfo agent distracts the public away from the real conspiracies by clogging the airwaves with fake conspiracies. Q and Alex Jones are Trump's c

I'm following a conspiracy that QAnon is a conspiracy itself designed to take focus away from true conspiracies. Similar circles are all in agreement about Alex Jones as well being a deep state disinfo plant. Clearly according to most

It really speaks to the Hacker News culture to suggest that in 2020, browsers shouldn't be allowed to run code.

Advice to Young Frontend Web Developers: Use React. HTML is not a rich enough framework to do client work. Second article in a row here advocating for HTML purism. That is where I jump in and talk about how React changed my career in 2015.

It's cool that you fixed this, but you shouldn't apologize to this person. You published a free article on your own site. This commenter rudely criticized your site for their nontypical edge case without an ounce of respect. They

I read the book 10 years ago and it was hugely inspirational to me. From what I remember it was not about drop-shipping or specific tactics (it does mention virtual assistants), but general ways of thinking, like the 80/20 rule. For me

The point of my comment is to tell you that you're wrong by saying React is not appropriate for a landing page. Gatsby (a static site generator) provides equal or better performance than regular HTML/CSS. You apparently have only

by lsalvatore 6y ago
Maybe that's a more productive way for you to work. For those who aren't HTML/CSS purists, we have Gatsby and absolutely no reason not to use React and all its productivity benefits in any and every web project we want, inc

Yeah valid points, some companies do that, but I don't think that scales to every candidate who doesn't have a project that isn't protected IP.

Agree with all your points, I'm just coming from the perspective of how I embarrassingly hired a guy who could answer a lot of these questions but couldn't solve the problems we needed him to solve. And that, by switching to the &

How much faith do you really have in these questions? This could be your entire 45 minute interview: Where there any performance considerations: Yes, the spaceship was extremely slow at first. After reverse engineering the launch protocol,

One time I hired someone who provided a very intellectually stimulating conversation over the phone. He couldn't ship anything. Now, I make sure I ask someone a question over the phone, and watch them code. You could call it an IQ test

Ultimately it isn't an engineer's place to complain if they're working for a product that needs 100 more features to succeed in a competitive marketplace and win over customers. I had the exact same reaction as you to this ar

CSS files are in a league in their own for how badly they represent the state of my app. In no other data structure would we say "oh sure, lets arbitrarily name groups of key/value pairs in a nested hierarchy that may or may not m

Frontend Engineer here. That “popular hot-take” is my career, and I happily combine HTML and CSS into my JS every day. React.js has been the most significant JavaScript library in the past decade. Over 50% of JS developers on the web are wr

How many startups burnt out writing Backbone and jQuery apps? React and Redux are solving a flaw with design architecture, in addition to performance improvements, like managing the DOM updates for you based on state. Startups aren't b

I created a CSS Grid course on Udemy at https://www.udemy.com/css-grid-with-react/ . My goal was to use it to build an Instagram web app clone. What I learned was that a lot of the features are really cool to play with

Senior Developers are often running the interviews. If the Senior decides you need to know a certain set of questions for the job, and you fail those questions, then they feel you aren't ready for the job. That's not to say these

For me, moving out of the corporate world and into startup territory has removed most of the anxiety of feeling like an imposter. When you can build and push major features of the product with little to no friction or stressful performance

Thanks for your comment. I'm certainly not arguing for a binary definition of creativity. I would play The Stanley Parable and vouch for it's existence as a stand-alone work of art. But should The Stanley Parable be able to profit

You're not going to convince me that someone narrating over themselves play Half-Life has the same creativity as Shakespeare, because "everything is a copy". To say that no one actually owns the rights to Pokemon, that someon

Love the quote, but it wasn't referring to ROM-hacking Pokemon Blue and passing it off as your own game.

Maybe those "fucked" artists should invent their own characters. You know, being creative instead of copying other people's ideas.

Alan Watts was an alcoholic. We're all human and prone to temptation and addiction, and even the ego. Curious about the flaws of Eckhart, or maybe not..
