Amazon employees get RSUs. The difference between stock options and RSUs is that options are worthless if the stock price doesn't go up, but RSUs are worth the stock price, so it doesn't have to go up, it just needs to not drop.

OOP isn't perfect, it is just the least imperfect among alternatives. Something better will come along, but FP ain't it. Because OOP maps well to how humans think, "something better" is going to be refinements of OOP as

For some scenarios, functional programming is a good match. For example, Big Data. FP has features such as lazy evaluation, which is important for Spark, for example. Not surprisingly many Big Data libs, including Spark, are written in FP l

Posting on ProductHunt, if you're a small company, can be harmful. Program Managers of big companies prowl this site, looking for interesting ideas to copy.

Yeah, but the goal is to kick off two async calls in parallel. The order in which you await is unimportant for that goal. If awaiting promise2 first solves the problem then that's the solution!

I don't get a warning for this code: async function foo() { try { // promise1 will resolve after one second let promise1 = new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, 1000))
