As someone who's responsible for migrating the users of a large breaking change (~300 projects), it does discourage you from making a breaking change. I'm not convinced that this is a bad thing though. Breaking changes can be both

It's incumbent upon the person updating the library to get all users migrated to the new one. There are a few strategies for doing this though, including temporarily having two versions of the library. There are also tools for making l

At this stage it looks like it's primarily for hosting of known versions of libraries by CDNs. For example, https://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.9.0.min.js should serve out those bytes exactly, even though there's a 1

After reading Mike Hearn's article on the subject[1], I'm convinced. The next project where I'd normally reach for Java and where I have some freedom in choice of language, I'd pick Kotlin instead. [1] https:/&#x2F

It's totally possible that we're about to run into a natural limit. But it's not so overwhelmingly likely that we shouldn't have a modest investment in preparing for what happens if we don't hit any natural limits f

For me the nice thing is that we're converging. I like the features added by all of the languages that transpile to js, but I want to be able to use them consistently across every project I'm involved in and being an official part

It's been a while since I wrote much Ruby, but I can vividly recall wanting to find the definition of a method and being frustrated at how difficult it often was.

As another datapoint, people with brain damage causing them to experience very little emotion have great difficulty making decisions, to such a degree that their lives can quickly fall apart. Emotions appear to be an essential element of we

It's possible that I don't understand your response, because I don't see why one only needs to know about one charity. On reflection, I don't think that it is an impossible problem either. It's making uncomfortable

I think the lesson that the last few years have taught us is that you can do ambitious things, but to get buy in it needs to be an incremental and gradual. This is the cost of a large system with >4 largely independent implementors with

Agreed on the feeling of entitlement. When I first moved into the industry I found it striking too. It is healthy for the industry for people to have and share this information though. Employees in every industry talk about how they and the
