   I'm not so sure if the users of VS Code, Discord, Slack, etc would agree. Yes it's bulky and sometimes slow, but it offers a lot of features and allow developers to ship features and updates really fast, while only needing one cod

   We live in bubbles. In my limited 6 years of professional experience as a software engineer, I have never met a single person who writes C# or .NET.

   You mentioned "distribute software" but did not consider Electron for Node. You can make an Electron app with JavaScript and ship the binary (or installer) on any platform. It's not a single executable file, but the user expe

   I'd say Sass support is less important now that we have stable support for css variables, and recently stable support for css nesting. https://caniuse.com/css-variables https://caniuse.com/css-nesting

    This is a really cool project. I am surprised I never heard of it despite having looked at repos for Cal.com and Strapi personally. I have been working with overseas dev teams for the past 3 years, particularly in China. If you are interest

    I guess I'm just saying it would be nice to have an actual "expo build" command that can build the app locally (assuming Android Studio and Xcode are in place), to complete the full Expo framework experience, instead of usi

    Hey. I appreciate that there is a distinction between Expo and EAS. However, as a user reading the Expo docs, I'm not sure if I can separate them easily without deviating from official docs. Look at the Expo docs on building and depl

    Thank you very much and I'm glad you were able to get it working without the cloud stuff.

    Thanks. I wasn't aware that eas build works locally as well (since they deprecated expo build). Is the build job also open source somehow?

    I've been using Expo for past 2 years and I enjoyed the experience overall. But make no mistakes that Expo is a SaaS with the ability to inspect some part of the codebase. (I stand corrected here) ~Everything important for building and

    I was active on SO years ago and my answers and questions typically are either upvoted to large number, or downvoted to a large number despite my best attempt at explaining the context. So I do know this problem (problem-problem) very well

    I took this course as "CS101" back in 2013 in NUS. I've also been coding in JS for the past 10 years. Pretty happy with the content and the way it was taught.

    It would make a nice translation, if not for the existing common understanding of breadcrumbs as a frontend UI navigation component. Having a term with two different meanings in the frontend tech stack would be problematic for communication

    You might be joking but it is already offered by YC. YC-funded companies get special hiring threads which appear on front page of HN. In terms of backlinks and traffic to website, those should function similarly to buying upvotes.
