if nothing else, the javascript "this" is teaching people alternatives to coding that don't need it in the first place. (I don't think JS "this" is that bad...it's just not needed at all)

Employers ask for your salary to make sure it makes sense to talk. Everyone mentions it to be lowballing you. But what do you think happens when you mention a higher number than they expect? While it sometimes will end the conversation (bec

Definitely don't hear about urban schools doing great. What I do hear is pretty much everyone I know (and who can afford it, which in tech isn't a small amount) moving closer to the city and sending their kids to expensive private

Everything is relative to what you're used to I guess. I'm from a Canadian suburb, where a 16 years old girl who got attacked in a dark alley at 3:30 am while alone made the news for 3 months because that was the worse thing that

With normal tenants, you gamble once every couple of months or years. With AirBNB, you roll the dice possibly every few days or more. It's the same difference as owner occupancy vs renters, but taken to the next order of magnitude.

I've had very mixed results with videogames on kickstarter. One took hundreds of thousands of dollars and used it on an unrelated game then went belly up. One is looking great and produced an awesome beta, but it's been years beyo

unless you're interviewing at one of the big companies with a known interview process, you'd basically be wasting your time. I've done hundreds of tech interviews over my career, and especially in recent years (now that compa

The software engineering community is bottom heavy right now, driven by improvement in accessibility of various platforms (eg Rails), and the prevalence of the San Francisco tech startup bubbles (where tens of thousands of developers have 1

assuming both the startup and the "big company" you compare it to are great in their respective categories, I find it to be a wash. My career was split pretty 50/50 between startups and big companies (about half dozen of each

It's just time really. The amount of time will vary depending on your background, degree, existing experience, and sure enough, luck. But it's just time. In the current state of the industry, a senior is just "someone who&#x2

For anyone reading my above comment and who will not go through the sub threads: I did not mean that I see sexual harassment claims like this one everywhere. When I said "Ive seen this type of complain", I was talking about the pe

Everyone took what I said the wrong way, so Im pretty sure I worded it very poorly. That's on me. I'm not saying that all companies are bad at dealing with complains. I'm saying that for every company with a non-trivial amou

Yes, you're misunderstanding. I was not even talking about the Uber case at all. I'm saying how everyone who works at every company says they make complains about everything and never get heard. That makes it hard to figure out wh

No. I was not talking about the sexual harassement stuff. I was talking about "people make serious complains and get rebukked". Now, whilere there's quite a wide range of what a "serious complain" is, people say tha

while Uber's culture problems are legendary...I've seen this type of complain at every single company I worked for (which is almost 2 dozens at this point), including when it was not true at all and people were just whiny that the

there are a few minor things like enums and decorators that will need to be compiled because they're not standard and are not just types either (well, const enums are i think?, but the rest are not?). That's about it though.

TypeScript type inference is minimal though and doesn't go very far. It falls back to "any" very quickly (and if you use the noImplicitAny option, then you have to type almost everything). It does a decent enough job at retur

The parser features are fixed. The plugins enable/disable them, but they're already "there", just toggled. As far as I know at this point the parser is not pluggable. Babel is a playground for the official TC39 proposals

There's a few subtle things here. Flow does support annotating types with comments, and can type check React's flowtypes, so you actually can get a fair bit without a compiler at all. In practice, no one does that, so you're

I've done some average sized projects in Flow and in TypeScript, and it's a lot more subtle IMO than most people would have it (especially people who only tried one, or only tried both cursively) TypeScript absolutely has the bett

yup. Its like i said: redux is simple. Middlewares are what makes it complicated. Redux-loop had a nice model for side effects, but the syntax did not mesh well with javascript limitations. Redux-saga is nice for testing, but it adds new no

Most performant and easiest to follow/debug/reason are often not the same thing.

The beauty of redux itself is the lack of magic. It's essentially just a design pattern and is trivial to follow. So the "edit" part of your comment is key here: frameworks built on top of redux, including middlewares, store

As mentionned already, and as Pete Hunt famously talked about in "Rethinking Best Practices" (you can find it on youtube), you want to separate -concerns-, not technologies. Often there is a 1:1 between those things, but not in m

oh good lord are we pedantic. Yes, not everyone uses the same techs. All i'm trying to say is that we'll see more and more of it. It's already happening with Elm, Elixir, etc.

it trickles down, slowly. Facebook does it, then SV companies do it, then tech companies globally do it, then everyone else. Always goes that way.
