The author doesn’t mention it in the article but the pattern suggested is inversion of control (IoC) which is one of my favorites. Highly suggest looking into it if you’ve not heard of it.

I have a bunch of tattoos. My right arm is sleeved for instance. Not saying that to try to get coolness points here (tbh I don't think tats are even considered "cool" anymore...) but to just make the point that I've got

Notion has no doubt taken note that a lot of people (myself included) use them as a quick and dirty wswyg web site builder. This new feature can be used for a lot of things, but it strikes me as particularly good for that use case. In fact,

I made the switch back to Apple Maps a while back. It’s great. I’m not sure what specific features you want to know about.

Man, for a dev with as much experience as you’re claiming to have, this comment ain’t a great look. I’d argue that the more experience you get the more you write code for other people which involves adding lots of tooling, tests, etc. Even

This reminds me of the lie detector scene from the wire[0]. I love that show and thought this scene was clever and funny. After reading this it has me wondering if cultural touchstones like this glorify what’s actually something pretty deva

I feel like you are refuting a point I didn’t make. I was just talking about how we re-discover patterns. My feelings on Java have nothing to do with it.

This is a Finite State Machine meaning there are a limited set of states and state transitions allowed. useReducer doesn’t have any of the state/transition validation logic which makes it an infinite state machine. Both are very useful

It’s interesting to me how certain design patterns get rediscovered over the years. A few years back FSM’s were a dirty word for crusty Java devs. I myself avoided them for that reason. Then one day I had a perfect use case for one and took

There is no greater sin than to say something positive about Java on the orange site... IMO Java and C# and other compiled languages have the opposite problem with languages like python and JavaScript (I love all these languages btw). It’s

I’d flag this if it came up in PR. It’s clever and novel which is precisely why it’s a bad idea. Always bet on boring.

This is a thinly veiled commercial for the authors start up. There’s so real advice here save to join his new social network.

That’s aggravating. I do full stack dev and work at startups so that particular scenario hasn’t come up but I could see how that disconnect could create some tech debt. That said, I think it’s a planning process problem. You really should h

Yeah I generally think the UI should only manage stuff like that cosmetically. Stuff like form validation etc. The real work should happen on the backend and not care about UI stuff. So it just throws if the user tries to get cute. IMO that

People trot this one out every now and again and what they mean is “front end used to be the easy part of the stack”. If you lived in the bad old days of jquery spaghetti and in-line php templates you’d realize what a bad take this is. Yes

I don't know why you are getting down voted. For what its worth I appreciate the analysis. I kind of feel like this post shouldn't exist without the author taking the time to explain his POV better than a few bullet points on a sl

I don't know why you are replying with this like some kind of gotcha... First of all Java and the JVM are two different things. One is a language and one is a runtime. Yes Kotlin requires the JVM. So does Scala and a lot of other langu

I've written front end for nearly all of my 13 years in this field. I've written some absolute dumpster fires in my time and have also written some very large and complex UI's successfully. I would like to think I have some i

It runs on the JVM. That's one of its selling points. :)

I've been writing Kotlin professionally for the past 2 years. I'd highly recommend it as a worthy successor to Java. It's very powerful and thoughtfully designed. Java just feels so old and clunky after using it. I've no

We just started using these at my job. I like how the approach takes the conversation out of a slack thread and generates some documentation to boot. The tooling ecosystem is also excellent (adr-tools is awesome) and you can easily integrat

Am I missing something or is there no IE11 support? A fairly common use case for a datagrid like this is as the heart of an enterprise app. Dead in the water with no IE11 support sadly. Looks great tho!

This is the correct take. If it's so easy to do then there should be a button or menu option that does it.

If she sends ODT to her publisher or editor, they will laugh at her and throw it in the trash. There are very specific rules about this stuff and no wiggle room for interpretation. It _has_ to be in docx format or it's not getting read
