I get very upset at the idea that Koolaid dictates front end development. It’s the same backwards superiority from backend devs as I saw a decade ago, except their languages and frameworks have barely meaningfully progressed and they still

Oh no, they rendered your component twice to make sure it’s idempotent, how magical! Tell me where react uses magic instead of well defined semantics and maybe I’ll agree > the early option Angular and React were around at virtually the

I will plainly speak however I wish to non web engineers telling me I drank koolaid in my selection of libraries, and that marketing is the only driver of the general decision making around such libraries It’s just plainly absurd. In front

The man wrote that koolaid was the decision maker, but I had literally built a high quality SPA in its main competitor before evaluating it and seeing for myself it was better. The “marketing” was being done by others like me on sites like

I actually have developed web UIs for 9 years professionally and remember evaluating Angular1 vs React. In angular I built an app with tons of great features, but React was far more terse and honest about how things work because there were

There is no discussion of quality. The claim is nakedly that React isn’t at the top tier and it owes its success entirely to marketing and not at all to quality. Developers have been drinking koolaid for years. Show me where they said other

I’m in disbelief you think a decade of one front end framework dominating software engineering of all fields is due to advertising, and not because it presents an incredibly powerful abstraction with a terse interface requiring far less mag

You’re arguing chrome dev tools were built with vanilla JS and didn’t require their own bespoke framework? That doesn’t track for me

by nawgz 4y ago
That’s a pretty funny stance. The library has a gigantic developer share and is supported by a tech giant. A world where React isn’t used and remembered is one where the web isn’t based on the same primitive. The idea of a thin layer on top

I find it comical to see you assert, in 3 words, that states shouldn't have the ability to exercise their regulatory powers to protect their citizens on the singular basis that the entity subject to regulations is outside their border.

It seems to me most graph problems that people care about are monotonic under adding edges. Actually, I can't think of a single problem in graph theory I've done where that wouldn't hold.
