Honest question, not meant to be inflammatory. If we still need to target es5 4 years later, and transpilation is standard practice, why bother? Is the evolution of JS not directed in practice by the authors of Babel and Typescript? If no o

The problem is, it seems like much of the careful recycling didn't really work. It was never a circular system, just one in which a couple extra uses could be rinsed out due to some extra shipping capacity on container ships making it

Definitely, but, I'm sure that adopting new technologies at the right time can be a huge competitive edge for startups. Sure it can fail horribly in some places where hindsight will show that the trusted stack was the right choice, but

I worked on a couple of production apps in Rails at the start of my career. It was the first way I learned to make web applications. Rails works as advertised and is great at what it does, but I think ultimately the conventions-obsessed nat

Is -20 a practical limit for them working in your experience or is this just a convenient low number for the sake of an example. I assume that is Sweden the temp can drop below that at times in the middle of winter. Are housing using them u
