I’m very junior, so take what I say with a grain of salt. But when I was determining if I should use Firebase or not, my biggest hesitation was simply that if Firebase ended today, I have to completely transition my application’s architectu

Great read, though his writing style is less intuitive if you are fairly new to JavaScript and trying to grasp some of its concepts. For example, in his reduce function [0] example, he names his variable "current" to bind the accu

One thing I've struggled with in JavaScript is choosing a more functional or OOP approach in certain situations. I can never tell if I should stick to one or the other. Allonge sounds like it'll really help me figure that out.

I decided to read Eloquent JS before exploring Allonge. Can anybody who has read both give their opinions on each? How are they similar/dissimilar?

I have a feeling the fake emergency calls are much more obvious than a real one, though. I will say, however, that emergency family calls are probably successful in the older generations.

Exactly. It's just as equivalent as having to memorize where some hypothetical share button is on a webpage. I've had this experience trying to change my settings in iOS; I often forget where I'm supposed to click to get to c

Because it's not very intuitive that the share button would allow you to add something to your home screen.

You're not alone. Sometimes my day continues in bed. I'll even think of things I need to do the next day, turn over to my phone, and write it down so I don't forget. I, too, need something to distract me in order to really wi

How do you translate textbook literature into those visualizations if they aren't provided for you? I struggle with this, even reading news articles at times. It's funny how a simple infographic on a video can really make things c

This is the crux to my imposter syndrome. Luckily, I work with people that specialize in this, but it limits my personal growth quite a bit. I really need to figure this portion out.

I agree, and I've found great resources like TeachYourSelfCS[0] and OSSU[1] to name a few, but there are so many options out there that I am overwhelmed. Reading reviews doesn't help, either. I think I need to commit to one that w
