You are picking the extremes to show why my analogy isn't good, which is unfair. You don't move your oven with you when you move, and washer/dryer is rare, but 220 volt outlets are standardized in the US as well. If you are m

As analogies go, try to go for the spirit of the comparison, not the specifics. Imagine what the market for appliances would look like if we had to accommodate for different outlets. Imagine if your kitchen aid stand mixer you bought for 60

True, but the people living in them don't. People in the US move, and they move a lot. Please use the downvote button for comments that are not relevant to the discussion, not as the "I disagree" button. We aren't reddit

Exactly. Could you imagine buying a home if the electrical outlet wasn't standardized? (In the US). Just ask the rest of the world how frustrating it is when every country has their own plug.

I don't know how to explain it -- but as an enthusiast, I sorely, sorely miss the S2000 and hope Honda comes out with something similar. It really feels like it lost something without it.

Javascript development as you see it today started budding with Mootools, Prototype, jQuery, YUI, etc. Wasn't until the early 2000s that the concept of unobtrusive javascript was even a thing. Then bundling assets came, asset pipeline

It's funny, but if some of these people griping about web development tried to unpack their favorite enterprise framework, like Spring MVC or whatever J2EE/.NET architecture they are running, there would be way more packages and b

I understand your question now was more about function scoping versus block scoping from a language design perspective, and not about specific to JavaScript. It wasn't clear from your comment you were heading in that direction. Having

Parent literally said why in the rest of their comment. And if you still don't understand why, this probably goes back to understanding JavaScript fundamentals. Not understanding function scope vs block scope is the number one smell fo

JSX is simply unobtrusive javascript realized at it's logical conclusion. I don't understand why people complain about it so much. https://medium.com/@housecor/react-s-jsx-the-other-side-of-t...

No. I am confident enough that if something has over x number of 5 star reviews (500, 1000, whatever makes you feel confident), the statistical likelihood that I will have a bad experience is small.

And for that I reference you to the second part of my comment. It is highly unlikely that a highly reviewed, frequently reviewed charger on Amazon will light your phone on fire. As for the second point "what if there is no reviews?&qu

Or just buy the damn thing and return if it sucks, instead of stressing out over all these things. Most of what you listed can be casually inferred from the seller, the review rating, and the number of reviews.

Robust systems are achievable already. We need managers that understand quality takes proper planning, time, and deep, concentrated, uninterrupted work.
