   I've had really bad luck with TB3 docks including the OWC and CalDigit. It seems that having a stiff TB cable on a non-locking port isn't that great of an idea. I ended up rigging up some cardboard and lots of tape to reinforce an

   It's funny, before I knew about React (this was ~2014), I wrote a ~7ksloc webapp with jquery and underscore that also just used memory for state and triggered a re-render of things when inputs changed. I haven't dug into how React

   If you only have a few large services that work quickly and efficiently, you probably don't have many teams working on them and have little overhead / devops work. If you have thousands of microservices, suddenly you need many mor
