It's not surprising given how Micro$oft have treated developers over the years. Conflating terms is their specialty, now they're brainwashing a generation in order to force their opinions on us older greybeards.

Learn the tools, stay away from the toys. Hundreds of developers have been incredibly productive with a regular shell - there isn't any practical need for a product like Fig. If it were me and I was seeking more productivity from my sh

Agreed. I'll be looking forward to quoting your post when this social network grows and takes off over the next few years.

It absolutely can - the company I've worked for has released top notch native GUI frameworks for free. Stating otherwise is simply ludicrous.

While I agree, the world would probably better off if it was the case. I think back to a very popular comment about how Dropbox can be simplified to a few shell commands over FTP. There's simply too much useless software out there not

I disagree. I had to sit and think for a few minutes as it was extremely unintuitive - my first impressions were that I couldn't decline the invitation at all, and the button was disabled or missing for some reason (I've seen some

I don't understand how this is a race condition, but I might need to check my old undergrad textbooks though. Props for the quirkyness, though! :>

Thousands of developers every day are using React with hooks. I sincerely hope that they are also not facing "months of hell".

by spoils19 5y ago
Chalk it up, then. I've never had a problem explaining the nuances of hooks, and there isn't actually that many permutations needed to wrangle them in indeed - but our engineers are usually quite quick to pick these things up and

It is not transparent what kind of curations take place to return the results. You cannot have a free market without transparency, and while DDG are announcing this now, they have no obligation to in the future. Previously the status quo wa

Could you source what you're basing your facts on? I know many people like myself are just looking to expand on the text we're searching for, and letting the free market decide what's a good search result.

by spoils19 5y ago
The free market will decide what's a valuable search result or not, and I trust the freedom and liberty of people over any kind of curated, mutated ranking system.

If a car doesn't have turn signals installed, isn't that against regulations across many countries, including the US? I believe in freedom for all but it sets a dangerous precedent if we allow cars to not have turn signals.

Users don't really know what they want, and I'd wager that most are willing to accept a page refresh if they understood the immense productivity gains that developers like achieve, for a worse "user experience".

I agree whole heartedly. Until we figure it out, treating it as legal abuse and punishing the parents is the way to go.

Web components actually aren't that good. Most seasoned and experienced developers I know hugely prefer either ASP.NET webforms or one of the many Java MVC implementations. We all know and use React daily, but I've literally seen
