My question as well. I imagine it's a machine. I'm not gonna download/register just so I can listen to a sample. I find robotic voices to be annoying.

We are using strict mode. If I do `setState({ undefinedStateKey: 123});` it warns me. Just checked. It may be linting not TypeScript. We have IState defined only as Generic Type Argument. We define defaultProps as static in class. And you a

I'm writing TS components daily, I'm not sure why, but I never encountered any of the issues you mentioned. I can only agree that typing HOC was hard when I did it the first time.

Well depends, having 0 testing sucks too. I would argue 100% TDD can be a code smell, especially if you try to unit test everything. Use testing where it makes sense. Got some complex business logic in some function with several different e

Mac's Finder is total garbage compared to any other file browser I used in my opinion, when I switched from Windows I remember some features missing and nothing was better. Maybe tags, but I haven't seen anyone use them... I found

1. It's great but it's moving too fast sometimes. RN ecosystem is pretty bad so no way I would recommend any less mature alternatives (flutter for example). 2. Heard of Elm and unidirectional data flow (flux, redux...). Didn'

Yeah, I can't run a node without 200GB+ of free storage space. No way I do it on the phone for example.

I did hot code upgrades on a server with WS connections active and I don't remember connections being broken.

Besides code quality and logic checking, I think it's important to also check if all the relevant docs have been updated. This means comments, README files, external wikis...

Seems like there is interest, will compile and publish to HN in the next couple of weeks. react-navigation is pretty good actually, haven't had any big issues this time. At the beginning when I first evaluated it they had breaking chan

Specifically: `react-native-navigation` replaced with `react-navigation`. Few issues: - Tons of bugs (see next point) - Bigger error/bug surface, 3 languages compared to 1. - Poor documentation - Stopped accepting PRs for 1.0 when they

Can somebody think of easier way to implement tabs with current setState functionality? Everyone! It may have few more lines of code but it's gonna be clear and every react dev is gonna know what it does. Seriously, feels like we are g

Break it down with clients as much as possible, tell them how long everything will take (don't worry overestimate just to be safe), then I explain software is not only about writing code so we have to add 20-40% for QA/itterations

I guess it would be useful. Not sure if $1B+ range. I don't care if people fake it as long as there are some real experiences that do not get hidden.

If your API is relatively straightforward (as in 1 service that just connects to a database), then you won't profit from GraphQL as much. I see the biggest value of GraphQL when it's put as an intermediate layer between the client

The word itself implies more experience than others. More experience is usually correlated to length of your tenure. But yes I agree, other qualities of senior developers include what you wrote. Just being a devils advocate here: I was 14 l

Even if it is a good developer, I don't believe the qualities of senior developer are being acquired so quickly. Do you really need people lying to you that you are senior to make you feel motivated? Ok I can do that, but I think it&#x

I spent 5+ years in the industry and felt weird calling myself senior. Just because you are a friend with CEO and he can vouch for your title doesn't make you senior. In 2 years of experience how many serious products can you take from

by ponyous 8y ago
Seems like it's more important to change titles than company according to your history. To be honest I'm a bit offended you consider yourself senior with 2 years of experience.
