Moment.js is a library, you can use in any part of your app and it doesn't define how your application is going to work. You are in charge of the flow of the application. React pretty much defines how your application is going to work

I am taking the course right now. It is very good but it is also very hard. You need to spend between 10-20 hours each week for the lectures and homeworks.

Django is fine for web applications but I can understand wanting to learn other things after 7 years. You can try Go which seems to be very popular as a Python replacement for backends. Another option could be Elixir which is very popular h

Quora was a good product. I remember the first time I used it, I was amazed by the quality of their answers. Even Jordan Peterson betseller book was based on a Quora answer. Sadly, they decided to focus on questions instead. Now, it'

I keep buying books that I don't have time to read. For example, I bought 6 books yesterday on Black Friday. I will probably read one or two. It just feel too good to buy things.

I don't mind doing whiteboard questions. It's a pain in the ass but it is bearable. But I can't stand behavioral questions. They are such a bullshit. In that regard, Amazon is the worst offender. They expect you to learn thei

I am not surprised. I am still a subscriber because I like some series like Mad Men and Dark. But their catalogue is shrinking and new content is mostly bad(with few exceptions like Death, Love and Robots).
