Yup that's the argument mentioned: React is "simpler", "anyone can see"... Brevity isn't simplicity. The simplicity is being easier to install, build, read about, debug, consume APIs with, send data between, ta

I recommend avoiding React. I have never seen an ecosystem so bogged down at every turn. It also has a bad zealot problem, where Facebook has cleverly brought a lot of people to it who haven't seen anything else and are convinced it is

Another great aspect of the first two Alien movies is that the musical score is very sparse and subtle. Those films don't need to use constant music to tell the viewer what to think or feel or notice, which is an amazing effect on it&#

Scott Adams was talking about this exactly on Bill Maher yesterday, that people can be educated about persuasion techniques and they still fall victim to them. I'm not cynical enough to think it applies everywhere, mass education about

Really interesting advice. Starting a Chinese version is a very smart reaction, since by creating the clone the copiers have actually lowered the cost of creating a Chinese business for the legitimate owners. All of the work they did creati
