I'd like to hear a little more about how this "recent technology" that she linked to helps me deploy web apps to the desktop. The http://nwjs.io/ site certainly doesn't have much info on how it can help

Hmm, shared state in and of itself can certainly cause difficulties (hence the recent focus on immutability and FRP), so I agree with what you are saying. However, if you are going to have shared state, I find the Angular service singleton

I do plan to continue to use what works for me. I also plan to experiment with React. I'm just pushing back a bit on the suggestion that Angular is not a viable framework in its own right. Regarding services vs. events, I guess that&

My understanding was that forgoing JSX would make the situation worse by falling back to imperatively manipulating the (virtual) DOM within your component. If there is a way to have an external, declarative HTML document using React I woul

It absolutely is not difficult to share state across Angular controllers. Services work great for this. I also dispute that you are too far removed from "vanilla" Javascript when using Angular. I recently integrated some external

This is what worries me. We are using Angular, and my non-technical co-founder knows just enough HTML and CSS that she makes a very useful contribution to our front-end development. Sometimes the contribution is in the form of HTML mockup

Well, at least two thirds. More like 4/3 in various combinations and configurations.

Given your username, I'm going to go ahead and assume (hope?) this is ill-conceived snark.

No, some of us do grow up. We learn integrity and responsibility. We develop greater perspective. We grow more comfortable with ourselves and with the choices we make. Parents (a.k.a. grown-ups) should not just be larger/heavier&#x2

Given that March 27th is my birthday, and my daughter's birthday (my best ever birthday present), I was very interested in this. Too bad it's total crap.

Wait, are you saying that you put the opening bracket on the next line? That would drive me crazy.

These are always useful reminders. It's easy to get so lost in designing a system that you forget the perspective of the user, which is what really matters. One of my current favorites is Rocksmith (guitar learning software), where up

Well, I'm a Scala developer these days so I certainly don't use the official documentation. :p That leaves Google/StackOverflow.

I feel the same way. It worries me that it may come back to haunt me in an interview environment where the fact that you don't have something in RAM could make you look incompetent, when in fact it's just a conscious choice on wh

Yes, I remember the days of the giant Java reference book being shared among cubicle-mates. The other thing to keep in mind is that much more of the code we relied upon back then was closed source. Anyone remember the bad old days of decom

Now you just need those face-morphing pills that Tom Cruise takes in Minority Report to avoid being caught on video tape sneaking around your local public library with some sort of transmogrifier-looking device.

If it's code that I need to understand in intimate detail, I actually trace through the code keeping notes with pen and paper. I complement a simple reading of the code with actually exercising the code with test data and a debugger.

Well, once you've whiled aways enough years under the fluorescent lights of your local MegaCorp, you can begin to see the comparative appeal of startup land.

Absolutely correct. I worked 7 years at a mega-bank that always had "contractors" on staff. Shortly after I arrived, the bank was wrapping up lawsuits brought by former contractors who (correctly) argued that they were misclassi

Or don't...and invest that money during the year. It's trivially easy to earn more investing than you will pay in interest to the IRS at the end of the year.

No, not dead. And a foundation in Java will still help if you do transition to another language (read: Scala) in the future.
