> Redux developers seem to say their issue with prior frameworks was that it was difficult to understand where state changes came from. Prior to React/Redux we used two-way data binding with first kendo then Knockout.js in a non tri

Joe Armstrong said that in the context of code re-usability in OOP. At first it took me a while to understand what he actually meant with that, because OOP is about making code re-usable, after all. But then I read an article that explained

Ok, maybe I underplayed it a bit, and I certainly also had a different opinion when I started to get into Redux. It is true that if you do Redux "by the book", as taught in the official documentation, then it is indeed quite verbo

True, I'm not old enough with my 33 years to remember that ;) But I do have quite a few years of experience in OOP and GUI programming (not just web stuff).

I had no real clue about functional programming prior to React. I always did OOP before. Once I got in touch with React, I got interested in FP. Then I read the "Mostly Adequate Guide to Functional Programming" [1] and it was kind

I'm sorry, I read your comments, and I could write a 5000 word essay, trying to show you that your perception of Redux is totally wrong, but I'm not going to bother, because I'm sure this won't change your mind in the sl

> rip out all the Redux and Redux tooling and write this.app.globals.myvar='selected' It's obvious you have no idea what you are talking about.

I guess when you say "aging" team then I imagine your team members mostly spent their time in the OOP world, and Angular is definitely a better fit in this case. React and Redux promotes a more functional style (even though React

I always thought I was too dumb to understand the Gang of Four book. I thought everyone else must be so much smarter than me, because everyone praised this book. I really had trouble getting a clear picture in my head of the ideas, concepts

Like I said, I really don't expect to find the "true" answer to all this. My point was basically that our current scientific knowledge may not be able to explain everything. We can observe the brain and see what's happen

I can confirm this. I wasn't able to get into meditation on my own, and so I took the more extreme route and visited a dedicated 10 day Vipassana mediation course. The effects were incredible and lasted for quite some time even after t

Are you really sure it wasn't possible to use external libs prior to the allowJs flag? I vividly remember a colleague fiddling around with TS when 1.0 was released, and we had discussions about definition files and how lacking they wer

Yep, sticking plasters over problems describes it perfectly ;) Many refactoring attempts, but never completed, because JS makes it really hard. And yes, code quality is bad. Most of it was written by people who never wrote JS/HTML befo

As someone with 10+ years JS experience and now 3+ months TS I can not agree with you and the gp. It's total hyperbole what you are writing. We are converting our huge and messy JS code base to TS, which uses a plethora of libs like jq

That's exactly my point, these salary ranges are "normal" here. For the average developer with little responsibilities in life this may be more than enough. And so goes my theory, but please don't quote me on that: IT wo

I currently live in Stuttgart, which is apparently slightly less expensive than Munich. I don't think a 49k€ entry level salary for someone with a masters is good. It's probably enough to afford the basic necessities and a small a

I'm in Stuttgart. My biggest handicap is probably that I never studied anything. As a nerd I totally lost interest in school, and so I started to work rather early instead of studying. And there is no denying that the quality of life i

That is all true, but the thing is that most of the developers I know are single and have lots of time on their hands. Some of them literally play computer games only in their spare time. I decided I want to have kids and so I have a family

Now I understand :)) you're a 12 year old, and what you do is awesome so keep up the good work, just don't expect wide adoption of your libraries yet :) So keep on hacking on! I guess you'll have a future in web development.
