We keep all of our components in template files so it's quite easy to maintain for us. If we need to change all of the buttons across the app, we just update the Button component.

Interesting, I'd ask you why. Anecdotally I've built hundreds of websites, and worked on many product teams building web applications all with varying team/product sizes and in my experience BEM scales very poorly. I have nev

The bottom line is Tailwind is not a component library so this doesn't defeat the purpose of Tailwind any more than it would defeat the purpose of StyledComponents.
245.
by mcntsh 5y ago
Actually Tailwind is the antithesis to BEM, so it's funny how you wouldn't compare them. The BEM philosophy is to capture individual pieces of your UI as unique CSS classes (.Button, .Button-icon, Button-text). The "utility f

Tailwind is just a method in which to style components on a page. Replace "Tailwind CSS" with "StyledComponents" or "SASS" or "BEM".

I'm excited to see Tailwind and the "Atomic CSS" style gaining popularity. It's one of those things that looks repulsive and backwards at first, but works so well in real-world projects.

I can answer for Berlin: 1. Depends on where. In busy areas it happens a lot. You just have to be careful when there are people around. 2. The bike lanes have their own traffic lights, which are on the same cycle as the cross walks to the r

This is exactly how it's done in Berlin and for the most part it works perfectly fine.

Investment visas are nothing unprecedented. Many people "buy in" to Europe this way too. Even the US has such a program. The more important question in my mind is "Why does Larry Page want to buy residence to New Zealand?&quo

This is a totally subjective question. But I'll give my biased opinion to some things you've written: > Although I am a techie, I’ve grown away from associating with tech. It’s my 9-5, but afterwards I want to talk about anythi

As a single person if you don't pinch pennies too hard, but you aren't going crazy either and you mainly eat at home, you'll probably have 1800-2k after expenses (rent/bills/food).

Digital agencies pay less, since they're often contracted out at competitive rates and they aren't propped up by imaginary investor money. I worked in agencies for most of my career. They're more rewarding to work for, and of

Stock/bonus are not common in Germany in my experience. A sign on bonus yes, but annual bonuses/stock options no.

I've been working as a Sr SWE in Berlin for 3 years, and I network with a lot of others. 60-90k is probably the most accurate range. Developers making 100k+ are in the top 5% of the market in the city. If you're making 100k in Ber

Pair-programming session building a small "feature" that's relevant to what you do for a living. It's almost like a mutual assessment between two engineers in a real-world scenario.

What about a pair-programming session? Even having failed some pair-programming interviews, I've felt at least like it was a fair assessment. It's an equal time investment between myself and the company, working on something perti

I think it's worth getting to the bottom of, without anecdotes. Meat consumption in the modern day is not only an ethical concern, but a major environmental concern as well.

To be honest with you, I don't have much to say on the topic of phytates. However, anecdotally, I went vegan after suffering from digestive issues for years, and the diet combined with a healthy amount of fermented foods has made a nig

You don't need "meat substitutes" to eat a well-balanced, vegan diet. Chickpeas are more calorie/protean dense than chicken and beef, for example.

Not in my experience, at least in engineering. The teams I work in are filled with quiet people who either simply lack confidence, or worse even, have no personal opinion about the topic at all. They're frustrating to work with because

Hmm I've read stories of people getting in trouble for being members of a church and not paying their church tax.

by mcntsh 6y ago
AFAIK there's a direct connection between the church you are apart of and the government via Kirchensteuer. As it relates to ethnicity, you're right. I can no longer edit my original comment though.

Ah, right, sure that's a good point but I wouldn't say it's more "extreme" than other countries, seeing as it's a totally optional thing. I can vote in elections without being affiliated with a party. In German

Hmm I've never been asked this on any official form other than when I register to vote (so I can join a party), and that's optional.

As an American who now lives in Germany, it does make me think how the U.S works at all without this "registration". There are times where you fill out government forms with your address, but there's no way to know for sure w

This is kind of off topic of AirBnB but can you share a little bit more about the registration system in China? By the way you describe it, it sounds like not only foreigners must register with the police when they visit other cities.
