There's still a human pharmacist on the other end of every single order, it just gets sent in the mail instead of handed over the counter.

A very large part of what pharmacists do is double-check the doctor's work. Mistakes, miscommunication, overlooked drug interactions, etc. In a sense the purpose of a pharmacist is having an accredited person dispense the medication as

Because it's not the case that the pharmacist is automatable. A small fraction of the work is completely un-automatable and the easily automatable stuff is just busy work. Even if you automated it they'd still have to hire a pharm

Has anyone had rousing success with automation tests like this? I almost always find the ratio of maintenance to issues caught to be unacceptably high, especially when compared to simple unit tests.

You've got it backwards. Pharmacists are hired because it's legally required. They're there to catch the dosage mistakes, look out for potential interactions, and to answer questions about medication and the proper usage. You

This happened to me the first time this Christmas. Bought a $25 electric doodad that was "sold by Amazon" for a family member and it was obviously a fake. It came in a very generic white box with the company logo stamped on it, in

Enough that's a nice bonus but still a minimal part of total compensation. IRS treatment of ISO/NSOs is part of the problem but the real issue is lack of liquidity. If you do make the equity significant at least give your employee

Exactly this. As far as I'm concerned the purpose of ISOs at companies more than a year old is to trick junior engineers into accepting a lower salary than they would receive elsewhere. Unless you have at least half a percent of a comp

Why do you care about optimizing perf so much? React and even Angular are fast enough that you should never need to worry about any sort of perf hacking, and I would argue that if perf is the number-one concern for your use case you shouldn

That's a really bizarre way of describing the most popular framework. If it was as cult-ish as you describe I don't think that would be the case. Also I really think you're overselling the differences between React and Vue. I

You have to go off-hours. It's really nice late night on a weekday. That said -- that's why it needs answering. It's a walking path that's proven incredibly popular among both New Yorkers and tourists.

Because managing state is really the major unsolved problem in front-end. No framework has it really solved -- but in React (and Vue) the other stuff is so easy that the issue of state management because much more pronounced.

The problem is there's so much you need to know. Angular invented a custom feature with plenty of boilerplate for every task -- and if you want to do something that Angular doesn't explicitly support you'll end up fighting th

> then keep the versions of all the different libraries up-to-date and in sync with each other Not really, since by design React doesn't care. You can use a years-old version of React Router without any problems.

I think the problem then is people not respecting YAGNI. The vast majority of web apps should be built using React ant only the true monoliths should be built using Angular. Also it's worth nothing that React and Vue scale. They work a

It's probably not React itself. Most perceived performance issues I've encountered are due to architecture issues, usually relating to network calls.

Not only is @angular/material the most popular component library by a huge margin but it's maintained by the Angular team itself. If it's as bad as you say it is that really doesn't inspire confidence.

By choosing React I'm optimizing for my time. I'll always add a framework that adds a tiny performance overhead if it means I can develop and maintain features easier. That said -- performance characteristics like this are rarely
