FiDi. Only after dark (never seen it during the day), and not all of the pharmacies get hit as bad. There is like a million pharmacies around and I've only seen one closed so it can't be that bad, but damn it's annoying. Like

With proper devops tooling and a half decent design, even a junior engineer can manage several microservices without issues. Since microservices are about scaling people as much as they are about scaling tech, 10 people in one service is a

It's a pretty common issue. If you have 2-3 services, it's pretty easy to manage. And if you have 1000, you likely have the infra to manage them and get the full benefit. But if you have 20 engineers and 60 services, you're l

Even being used to it (from other languages), it's super jarring in JavaScript because it's redundant. JS has other, better ways to achieve the same result, so it's generally a step down just to be more familiar for non js de

To be fair, they're not assuming anything, and Remix is like the first thing in the list, which is one of the major React frameworks right now. The name is not as descriptive obviously but its like someone saying SvelteKit and not ment

React Aria is particularly unique because of the date picker. There's extremely few components that let you do proper date picking, nevermind date range picking, in a relatively accessible way. Even input type=date in the browser is an

As many folks mentioned already, the hate isn't new. Teams keep trying to use a one size fit all. Using SPAs for traditional websites was never a good idea, but people kept trying. SPAs tend to be pretty cheap and easy to build, especi

The primary use is convincing the marketing department that maybe we don't actually need to build a native app just for push notifications. Joke aside, it allows PWAs to more fully replace native apps, which is great.

Noise should be zoned like construction is (ok, probably better). Some cities have intricately designed noise ordinances that account for this, but most just have some kind of blanket "After 11pm no more than 50db". Sometimes they
