You can absolutely be good without side projects. And there are a lot of ways to be useful as a software engineer. But all other things being equal, when looking at code, it literally comes down to practice. The more code you've writte

Not just the registration requirement, but if I understand, when you register they also notify the landlord/building/HoA/whatever, when applicable. In a lot of cities, most condos have minimum rental length in the bylaws, and

Properly type lodash or ramda's curry in TS. All the versions I find basically make 5+ overload and a sloppy fallback. Flow can actually type it correctly but so few people know, even the flow typed version doesn't do it (last I c

Many non-trivial libs are typed improperly, even when they can be done right. There's massive abuse of "any" type the moment anything gets semi-challenging. Also, a non-trivial amount of type definitions don't work in st

The JS type system world has benefited a lot from NOT having a monopoly. When Flow started gaining some traction, the whole "handle nulls properly" thing was a huge. During that time, the TS issue tracker was filled with comments

with either TypeScript or Flow, you can't go very far before hitting type definition hell. It just shifts where the hell is. Flow has better types out of the box for the Facebook ecosystem, and the flow-typed types, if they're ava

Dunno what to tell you. It works in practice in a lot of cities, including large metro areas that get a shitload of snow.

It's also extremely populist. Since the effect of local politics are...well, localized, people don't notice nearly as much when the mayor screws up in small towns. They just have to wave the "lower rent!" "more cons

In this city its -6 hours- after the snowfall ends, and people almost wait on the clock to call 311 and get you fined if you don't do it. If you commute away to work, there are possibilities that the timing could be very awkward (unles

My understanding is that in Utah they did that with Utopia and the lobbyists put some pretty big roadblock in it (and refused to use it). So I don't think it's that simple. I'm not super knowledgeable in the field, but it&#x2

To be fair, a lot of stuff work that way. Take an HVAC maintenance plan for example. For some fee (based on the model and age of your HVAC and the condition it's in), you get routine maintenance covered. They do what they can to preven

Thats surprising to me. Even the originally 1.X documentation wasn't that bad for the common cases. The 2.X documentation is pretty darn good. The only issues I hit back then was complex cases back in the 1.X days. But if all you wante

It's not bad at all. You just have different requirements. I prefer React, but if the apps I was working on came to change in requirements, I'd be very happy to have Vue as an option. I don't think having 16 different major f
