I used backbone a lot too, and despite their obvious differences, react feels like backbone's spiritual successor in terms of being 'Just Javascript' that solved problems, rather than a fullblown framework. For the longest ti

And more importantly, signing in with fb is simply handing over our personal details. I use gmail, I have no problem trading my info for goods and services - I know what they're realistically worth and judge accordingly. But for Fred&

I know a handful of competative gamers, some of whom who would use Minsweeper to 'warm up' before LANs to get their eye in, and keep their mousing muscles loose between matches.

Slightly pedantic point, but I was under the impression the diff didn't touch real DOM unless there was a change required, and just dirty checked the virtual DOM - ie. doing everything in memory without a bunch of DOM access was where

Every language has it, but because JavaScript is evolving so rapidly the problem is amplified. We've seen more change in the last couple of years than some more mature languages have seen in the last decade - js isn't finished, a

Ironically, I've had the opposite problem with projects built in simple templated KO. As projects have scaled up and teams grown the lack of formalised framework, combined with the amount of logic-y stuff people apparently LOVE to thro

I'm racking my brains to come up with a viable 'pay as you browse' model for sites, but it quickly extrapolates to the ludicrous extremes. Hmmmm. Thinking about it, i might throw together a chrome plugin that calculates a sug

I'd pay $1 p/m for a regularly updated list of viable passive-income startup ideas, their potential market size, ideally all in the $1 recurring subscription range.

Wikipedia does have a large, irritating begging banner though, so kinda. I guess.

Frontend type for a .net house, and I'm absolutely delighted at this new direction - lots of stuff ms were doing is legitimately awesome (I much prefer visualstudio to intellij, even if it steadfastly refuses to hilight my jsx syntax p

cgi-bin's seemingly incredible power made me accidentally learn pearl. I suspect it broke me as a programmer for years!

I dunno, I backed broken age and got months of entertainment (such as it is) from the vlog updates, followed by a beautiful but ultimately flawed game. Isn't that way Kickstarter is all about? Boundless optimism, unrelenting hype, fo

Attacking Microsoft is the done thing. They are wildly successful by any conventional measure and have made themselves a target. Personally I have nothing against the company, we are a .net house and I like their current stuff Win10 is leg

Tangenital, but I think backbone still has a place post react. React fills the void between web components and app flow, but it's not the whole story - it still confabulates data structure and function - whereas backbone handles views

Frontend lead (basically a js engineer tbh) for a moderately large site, and I put in 4 hours of proper serious work, 2 of less focused work where I refactor, tweak stylesheets, try to smooth things out, and then the rest of the day is spen
