To be fair the bad choices are what allowed them to ship quickly, get to product-market fit, and get to the point where the bad choices started to hurt them. Most startups never see the effects of their bad (or good) choices because they go

Hey - great work! This project can save me a lot of work writing integrations, which I find tedious at times, so I'll take a look at it. One piece of feedback: it's confusing that the org's name is Polybit, the site is https

Got it. If you don't have any data that's shared between pages, I can see how this works.

Hey - author here. This is my first time hearing of alt.js. How does it compare to more popular solutions like Redux and MobX?

Hi - author here. Thanks for mentioning Apollo. I've actually abandoned maintaining any data state in my global stores. I just use Apollo and provide a refetchQueries to my useMutation call to update my UI after mutations. https:&#x2F

Hi - author here. I haven't used react-easy-state unfortunately. But like when building a company, the best product doesn't always win: the company that executes the best does. Executing well includes building a great product, but

Hey - author here. I agree that libraries for certain things, like MobX/Redux or Formik, may be overkill. What's more important, though, is that people choose an appropriate equivalent to these libraries. Replace the library, but

Another way of looking at it is that they are using their technology to help defend the country where the company was created.

Ok; ignore that specific example -- if you needed to share a piece of state among many components in different places in your component tree, how would you do it?

Hey - author here. React is just simpler for me to reason about. A app has many pages, a page has many components. I can write components; I can write Redux/MobX code; I can pass data between components. Things work. But absolutely, my

Hey - author here. Try Redux; acemarke has been evangelizing Redux Toolkit [1] recently and it looks great for a beginner not familiar to the Redux ecosystem. But also - if Redux just isn't clicking for you, or if it is but you feel li

Author here. I see the appeal of the simplicity of this approach, and this is how I handled state in my application before I knew what state management was. But how do you deal with the problem of many of the components in your tree needing

Hey! Author here. You don't need to put the username of the logged in user into Redux, but if multiple components across different pages need to access this data, you should make it globally accessible. You can choose Redux/MobX f

Author here. You can try this, but I don't think it'll turn out well! You don't want to have a bloated, disorganized global store...what you're doing now, moving state into global state only if needed, is the right way t

Maybe! But also, as a user, I expect to do more and more in my browser. I would find it strange, and probably switch to a competitor, if my preferred airline for example made me install (and keep updated) a desktop app in order to book a fl

Author here. The way I think about it is, the web was designed for rendering static markup. JavaScript was designed for adding small amounts of interactivity. Instead, we've managed to turn the web into a full-blown application platfor

Hey - author here. I did not mean to imply that state management is only useful to mitigate the prop drilling problem. In fact, in #2, I give another example where state management is useful.

Measuring how productive software engineers are. If you could solve this problem, you could convince management why engineers need offices, for one.

The solution isn't bankrupting fossil fuel companies. The solution is finding viable replacements for these companies, whether it's solar, wind, nuclear, or something else, and then scaling them so they can serve everyone. Finding

The solution to climate change is not to make energy producers like oil and gas companies go out of business. The way these companies became so successful was by providing something of value at a low cost. Do you really want to pay substant

If I build a startup that gets to the stage where I'm hiring people, I'm going to consider providing offices (private or shared) for my engineers, as a way to attract talent. I'm surprised more employers aren't doing thi

The RNC cancelling primaries is much worse. I'm surprised they've gotten away with it. Iowa's Democratic Party still has a paper trail of votes. The results may be delayed but they'll at least exist. On the other hand, G

Ruby has a great debugging story. You just type "binding.pry" wherever you'd like to stop the application and in your terminal, it will open a Ruby shell where you can access the program state at that point in your code. htt

I've wondered why cars don't have a built-in communication mechanism. I should be able to broadcast somehow (using a voice message?) to nearby cars that "I'm going now, don't go".
