I don’t concur. Received a comp-sci degree in 2008 from a small liberal arts college. I was one of five grads in my year, and most of the last two years were not spent learning “practical” tech, but rather theories, algorithms, etc. My libe

As someone who is the "technical" co-founder of a two person founding team, I have a hard time imagine being matched with someone. My co-founder and I worked together for 7 years prior to starting our business, and the dividends f

Thanks Eropple! I'd love to take a further look at your modern-ruby library. Hope you're able to continue to flesh out examples and documentation :)

One thing I'd encourage is to build a culture of looking at graphs daily as a matter of practice. Alerts are only as effective as the knowledge of the writer, and human based detection is almost-always the first step to better alerting

While I don't know how to knit, I do crochet from time to time, and would highly recommend it as a hobby / way to take a forced break. I'm currently two years into making a large blanket, and I love coming back to it every co

Poor choice of words on my part. For me, using Vue is worth for CRUD pages, trivial pages (pure HTML), etc. There's enough it gives me that even though I don't need it, I enjoy utilizing it in my workflow. What I was attempting to

You're probably just not writing that much javascript, or needing javascript, so it sounds like you're not missing anything! I don't find using Vue adds complexity for me anymore, and I enjoy a lot of the benefits of it (comp

This is now my feeling as well, after coding in Vue for only 9 months. If I started a project tomorrow, I'd use Vue on day 0 100% of the time. Even if I'm just rendering HTML, the process of using it helps me to separate out my co

I don't need SEO for what I've released so far, and the pages are properly indexed by Google, despite being SPAs. Our product is primarily B2B, so the website isn't a destination at the moment. If I needed to have SEO friendl

Good point, and this is exactly what I did. I actually was running the SPA + the rails app side by side. Took me about 6 months, but I cut over every page / app one by one till I was done. And, to the parent commenter, good point. I do

To the author of the article- Kudos! Well written, well reasoned, with minimal hyperbole or unnecessary “X is dead” style declarations. Hope we see more writing like this bubble up to the top on HN. I’m not swayed by the argument, but that’

I live near Fairfax and Wilshire (near The Grove) and they’ve just started cropping up on the sidewalks up and down Fairfax. I moved there from SaMo and it’s definitely not nearly as bad yet, but I can see the wave coming. I’m not a huge fa

I think the list component, especially when used with a card, is a bit hard to mangle in all the ways I want. This is just me trying to overuse the components though, they aren’t bad on the surface. The table components are good but not gre

It’s a good question (Sorry you’re getting downvotes). I’ve shopped almost exclusively at WF now for about 6 years. In those six years I’ve lived in four separate locations, and in all but one the WF was within walking distance of my home.
