The syntax to me is irrelevant. The important bit is to use as much JS and as little string/DSL template as possible. Why? Because tooling. Anything that's in JavaScript can be linted with ESLint, can be typed with Flow or TypeScr

oh that one drives me insane. "This will take 40 hours" (I hate estimating in hours for individual tasks as there's no way to average the overrages with the ones that went under estimate). "Thats too much, can you do it

the funnel in tech is growing and there's drastically more people now than there were 10-15 years ago. if you hired EVERYONE with a CS degree who didn't give up during the dotcom crash, you'd lean young too.

Yeah I know. I explained myself poorly. The observable itself is lazy and cold. Wrappers functions, observers (like subjects) and operators can add a higher level abstraction to change that. It's easy to make lazy into eager and cold i

The main point is correct. But observables are very different from promises at the core. Not only are they cached, but they're also eagers, while observables are not. The very minimum implementation of an observable is just a few lines

And this hurts the people they're trying to help. If you devalue highschool to the point you need another 4 years to prove you have the basics, anyone who's doesn't the privileged to wait that extra 4 years is that much more

Okay. Most.js then, at 10kb minified looking at the build on unpkg. Also, implementing an observable from scratch is pretty much trivial. The operators are where all of the logic are, and they are arguably simpler to understand than alterna

The funny part to me was that when I graduated, in the early 2000 after the crash, the meme about getting a job in tech was "You need 10 years of experience to get an entry level job". There was a strong bias for older workers. Ev

Yeah, I had the same thought. However, the Switch actually makes that convenient, by design. I would play my PSP on TV all the time. It sucked. Getting the screen full size required your TV to have that option (and crappy cheap TVs didn&#x2

The Boston area has quite a bit of tech jobs and pays pretty well, with the main issues being that everything is falling apart and people are crazy.

That is simply not true. There are many factors influencing your credit score in the US, however as far as credit utilization goes, the lower the better. Your credit score is based on how much unused credit you have. Your bank may not want

In the big tech hubs, 2 years is pretty much the norm, for a variety of reasons (what's talked about in this article, but also just the sheer amount of opportunities). It's not a great thing, but thats simply the reality. It'

All numbers I've seen show that people who take counter offers from their current employers generally leave anyway. There are exceptions: when salary is the ONLY problem, and usually that topic will have come up. So if the employee cam

They can and they do. Which is somewhat problematics. A lot of companies are trying to scale, and with the demand for software developers being so high (plus the push for diversity), bootcamp "grads" are a pretty popular target. B
