They're still experimental. React handles a lot of the legwork towards getting proper web components today.

Everyone complaining about how React is just a trend is missing the point of React. It's not some revolutionary flash-in-the-pan technology based on a mystical black box, it's an aggregation of best practices that everyone (includ

I thought I was the only one going insane here. It's become legitimately difficult to discover blog posts/articles on programming topics that don't include the asinine "missing term" suffix. There are plenty of grea

I suppose I had trouble with recursion until I understood that each call should strive to be stateless - meaning, you don't try and remember previous results. Each new call should be just the same as the initial. You only act on the cu

I read a lot of scifi and have generally been impressed by the naming. I dislike Cratylic names when they're trite but authors like Phillip K. Dick and Gene Wolfe manage to pull them off. Neal Stephenson uses them humorously in Snowcra

The "Internet of Things" is to M2M as "Data Science" is to Statistics. There are some differences but on the whole, it's a sexy rebranding of an unsexy industry. I'm a dev working at an industrial monitoring co

Exactly. For simple sites, I pretty much avoid all frameworks/libraries. However, I use babel/webpack though I really like webpack-dev-server and the full set of es6 features. I disagree with the React statement. I believe it&#x2

I'm guilty of this, but I can't stop. What I do now is focus more more on "micro-ideas" which I can finish start to end in a day/weekend/week. Consequentially, these ideas are much harder to come by

Very nice explanation, the selectAll bit is clever. So the key is that timer. I tried googling around for animations before but I guess I missed it.

These are awesome! I've been learning d3 and have been struggling a bit with animations. Does anyone mind breaking down one of these tweets and explaining how it works? I understand it's minifed but learning how to loop animations

I pushed for a project at work for months. Practised JS/web dev for about a year before that - when the time came I was ready. I go to a lot of JS meetups and I'll be speaking at my first this month!

I'm just the opposite - I was going mad making microservices with C# and have jumped ship to being a full stack webdev guy. I love JS, it feels so freeing and easy after working with such a heavy compiled language (I still like C# thou

If you have an engineering degree from an accredited program, you're an engineer. If you don't you're not. The US is very lax with usage of the word but in other countries it's classed in the same way "Doctor"

"Why do some children find Math hard to learn? I suspect that this is often caused by starting with the practice and drill of a bunch of skills called Arithmetic—and instead of promoting inventiveness, we focus on preventing mistakes.

I'm a fan of practicing "stateless development", where years of "thats what we've always done" has no bearing on what I'm doing now. Writing HTML in JS is much more pleasing than cramming JS into HTML via

I'd gladly trade more boilerplate for stability and confidence of non-breaking updates. You can also write higher-order components to DRY things up.
