I haven't, I'm speaking more about the concept in general.

I've been waiting to see something like this. Using good practices with React I think it'd be really easy for something like a web Qt to work.

I've been feeling like some of the recent disruption is just somebody taking an existing process and codifying it into well made software. Zendesk, Uber, companies like that, aren't providing anything that didn't exist before

I can't believe how few laptops get the trackpad right. It's the first and primary interaction anyone has with the laptop, how are all of them so terrible! I'd love to get a non-macbook, but the list of laptops with powerful

Personally, I'm not a big fan of CoffeeScript and it's something I brought up when I started, but at the end of the day you can write good and bad code in any language. I've watched that talk and found it really compelling, b

I'm relatively new so I can't speak to the original rationale, but right now it fits our needs. I'd love to do some ClojureScript (or just ES2015 through Babel), but right now we're focusing on building stuff instead of

Frontend is currently Backbone + React, moving towards more React, written in CoffeeScript.

I dropped out of university after a year and did a startup for 2 years. The jobs I've been offered since parting ways with the startup have been as good or better than my peers who went the traditional route. I think the takeaway is th

Yeah, these rants never account for the fact there there are a number of different types of websites, and tools for each. Don't use Angular or React for a blog for the same reason you shouldn't use Jekyll or whatever for an applic

The term "isomorphic" led me to assumptions that weren't accurate and "universal" is so general as to be meaningless. Calling it "shared JS" is a step in the right direction, imo. I'm actually a fan o

Part of the benefit of minifying is obfuscating the code, the only way to strip out all meaning is to have a minifier that understands the syntax.

The Unreal development kit has an interesting pricing method. The first $50k you make is completely royalty free, and after that Unreal takes a 25% cut. Now that I think about it, Apple's approach seems incredibly lazy considering its

My pipe dream is to be a non-shitty version of Erlich from Silicon Valley. I'd love to run an "accelerator" program out of a space that I owned where you take a bunch of smart people and set them loose, it seems like a perfec

That Oracle wants to prevent Java from being used on certain platforms after how heavily Java was marketed as the "runs on everything forever!" language is absurd to me.

They tried it in the early 2000s, when the network throughput and latency just wasn't what it needed to be. Now we have much better networks, more available cloud computing, and a populace that's more used to streaming things. I&#

Yeah, this is a real concern for computer enthusiasts who heavily overclock their CPUs. Higher clock rates need more voltage to be stable, but higher voltages increase electromigration. So maybe bumping the voltage from 1.3v to 1.5v stops y

But Angular is a glorified templating engine, where react is really about FRP and rendering from data. The React components you write are essentially web components that use DOM; as long as there are standard building blocks for web compone

One benefit of React that I haven't seen discussed: Learning it made me feel like I was improving as a programmer. The best way to improve React applications is to learn more about the concepts behind function reactive programming, whi

React will probably just integrate those as they become usable, since React acts as a layer of abstraction between the DOM and your presentation logic.

I think more often, the outcome is that while you're on the same page the rest of the book turns out to be very different. Glad it worked out for you though!

PureRenderMixin and mutable state are still pretty common in React applications, I think it's realistic not to include them.

Wow, a domain for sale that's in the whitelist of an addon as popular as NoScript is pretty surprising to me. I immediately assumed it was a CDN by Zend, which seemed like a reasonably trustworthy domain.
