Im honestly chocked that people react so negatively to this piece. Yes, the author expresses many negative and self centered emotions. He is very clear about that. It is part of the story. It is a story about being a flawed person. I sympat

My uncle started coding at a young age with punch card programming. He says that a developer was at least a hundred times more productive at the end of his career than in the beginning. And still, it did not result in the death of the progr

This doesn't surprise me, and I dont think it proves that useEffect is bad design. That being said, I think useEffect is a bit too beginner hostile. It kind of remindes me of ´reduce´. When used correctly it is really neat. But it can

> This happens despite the repeated, abject failure of this tactic over the past decades to help their cause How do you measure this? Socialism hasn't taken over, thus it didn't help their cause? There are many factors at play,

It doesn't seem unlikely that they have som anti-brigading software that automatically or semi-automatically deletes certain reviews. Such as when huge amounts of people in a short time instalsl an app just to immediately leave a bad r

I agree. I've had experience with pain lasting several years due to issues with my jaw. No matter how strong you are, it takes a heavy tool on your happiness. I had a friend that was going through painful knee surgery, and he was very
