Your "cover letter" can also be a direct email to the hiring manager which mostly guarantees that they'll at least skim it.

FWIW: I'm an engineer and at my last employer I reviewed hundreds of applications and I'd weigh the cover letter heavily. Someone who's passionate about the job is a huge asset and can easily overcome any minor weaknesses.

It is no more in an insurance company's interest to raise rates arbitrarily than it is for any other company. If one company's premiums are significantly more expensive than other insurers, they'll lose customers – and if wha

Why would you ever use any language over C/C++? Different abstraction levels, type systems (or lack thereof), ecosystems of libraries, even syntaxes all contribute to a decision in choosing a language. You might not like JS personally

I don't have links to any; they might be all internal. The current iteration of the patent grant was developed in collaboration with Google to meet their needs, so if there is any complaint they still have with it, that is news to me.

I guess this is the real thing: https://github.com/extensibleweb/manifesto/blob/master/READM... Perhaps WebAssembly is close to what you think of as a "universal bytecode"?

To be clear: only the patent license ceases, which is something you wouldn't even get in the first place with most other licenses. It may also be that no patents are used in React at all. I personally do not know of any that are. (Disc

Google does use React now; as far as I know they are happy with the current version of the PATENTS file.

This is what the Extensible Web Manifesto is -- an agreement from browser vendors to build in low-level primitives so that things can be implemented in user space: https://www.w3.org/community/nextweb/2013/06&

Except a linter or static analyzer can easily be taught to understand f"", but it's essentially impossible to reason statically about locals().

Yes. If you don't, that's fine – just don't pay attention to it.

Yes. We're actually pulling ReactLink out completely soon since so few people use it. It's easy to replicate the behavior yourself, anyway.

That doesn't sound right. You can pass whatever you want as props to a composite component; you just can't use objects as a list of children in a DOM component, but that's not what you were doing before. When Ryan Florence fi

You still have the round-trip time for each level of dependencies if they're resolved on the client, at the very least. And a real-world performance comparison where the recursive dependencies are listed up front but sent in separate r

I am not sure why the parent compares webpack to gulp/grunt. The latter are generalized task runners (think "make"), but the former is a tool for bundling together many small JS files into one. Webpack (and browserify, a comp

I try to be helpful whenever I have a chance. When I first adopted React, my coworkers were frustrated that whenever they Googled for errors they didn't find anything, so I committed myself to writing answers to all the reactjs questio

The "Reactiflux" community sent enough messages as to make search on Slack's free plan effectively useless (since old messages would expire within minutes or hours). I understand that Discord plans to add search.
