(warning rambling rant) I feel like this was super true in the pre Facebook days but they were humbled A LOT by the massive flop of Google plus. I honestly don't feel like I get the my s * doesn't stink vibe from them anymore. E

thanks for the succinct explanation of gGRPC over HTTP / REST / whatever. I've been trying to figure that out for a while. Think your analysis is spot on overall. The author strikes me as the person who was saying "why c

I think about this a lot. Twitter and FB brought a lot of people to the internet who weren't exposed to cultural things like Rule 14 that I feel went a long way to maintaining civility. They also normalized bringing your identity onlin

Your use case is the situation where React Native thrives. You get code sharing across platforms and a leg up with election and stuff like that. I view Airbnb's failure with it more of a (justified) lack of will. They already had nativ
