   Ironically a competent person would probably not say "All X's are garbage" because, as with most things in software, it's a) complicated and b) never that clear cut.

   This is definitely the best way. Start with the how you want everything to look and make your code match your expectation.

   The trick is to get something covered to the point where you could comfortable refactor the bejeezus out of it, and know that it's still working from a higher level. The test should be how you know the code works, and under any situati

   I've recently joined a team that focuses massively on test-driven development, and it's just such a great way to shake out dumb bugs and focus on the requirements and the problem you're trying to solve. Also recently did Thor

   Pre-compiling regex doesn't actually give you any real performance benefit as Python3 caches it internally anyway. See https://docs.python.org/3/library/re.html#re.compile

   Maybe by now we're all conditioned to immediately respond with "argh it's moving too quickly" :P But I totally agree. Things like the various cli tools, widely available documentation and good IDE support for frameworks

   Interesting that GraphQL is slowly gaining interest - I kind of thought the hype would fizzle out. Good to also see Typescript making a foothold - it's a great alternative to pure JS.

    Skeptical about the science? You mean the lack thereof? They do a once off 'experiment' with a sample size of 3 and claim that it's conclusive evidence that eating meat "is bad". Yikes.

    You could probably get away without Javascript in 202, but I've yet to hear a good reason aside from "javascript sux lol". The real question here is why not just write the code that browsers speak?

    I've often said that complaining about something is a waste of good oxygen unless you have a plan on fixing it or changing it. Or at least have thought of a way to make things better

    I can definitely recommend e-readers for regular books (it's great when travelling) but for reference / textbooks I'm not sure I could. I have a Kindle Paperwhite from (I think) 2014 and it still holds up quite well. I recent

    For me personally the productivity would just plummet. Everyone uses Javascript, no-one uses Clojurescript. That statement in itself is one of the most powerful reasons to pick one framework over the other.

    I think though with any framework, there is a base amount of knowledge of the best practices, how things work etc. that just being able to write JS wouldn't really help you with

    Do they play any PC games? Some basic modding might be a good idea. I remember doing really basic 'mods' for Morrowind (like a chest that asked you questions - it was written in the flavour of C++ that the game engine used) based
