we use jooq extensively it's probably the most valuable tech in our backend. Also among various other tech stacks I've never seen something that hits the sweet spot between "plain …

I have never understood why typed languages make you slower at any point in time (early, late etc.). Because you have to hit more keystrokes to write your program? That doesn't com…

I'm personally in the "functional handler" way of doing HTTP Request camp. We have a very small Ktor service in Production, and it works nice, for legacy reasons, we're using http:…

Frontend: (vanilla) React with TypeScript. - TypeScript is more important than React, static typing is such a productivity boost, even for projects of all sizes. - Start with vanil…

I agree. I exlusively write React Frontends since 2014, and very minor things have changed. It feels a lot more stable than before, where every project had homegrown framework stuf…

This is a quite common myth that is factually wrong. It's the main way for a private wealth advisors to talk somebody into a unecessary mortage. The interest rate on mortages is al…

I agree 100%. TypeScript is an invaluable, mature technology that provides large productivity boosts to any team that maintains a mid-sized code base. It plays extremely well with …

I'm using a MacBook Pro with Windows on it as my main development environment except for iOS native stuff obviously. 1. install chocolatey https://chocolatey.org/ , and install eve…

I like it as well. I have yet to see tech stack that has comparable potential but is less complicated and can be stripped down as low as the web stack if your requirements permit i…

These are a lot of tedious to write tests in a frontend codebase that mainly renders a lot of state into HTML. Additionally, these are tests that you will have to tediously adjust …

TypeScript is the one technology I would discard last of the entire web stack. Using TypeScript instead of JavaScript is such a productivity boost for a team developing a sizeable …

I believe what he is trying to say is this: It will take a person a couple of days to "grok" Redux, and a quite a bit longer to fully understand the ins and outs so one can make in…

Not every application faces all the problems you mention: A lot of teams don't have the "designer" problem and are just fine without JSX. Passing data through dozens of children is…

For anyone that has the ability to pull off a project that needs seperate state management. It's really just a days worth of looking at the original flux, redux and other implement…

I agree with your argument. I have seen people say on HN that 1 hour of setup to start a project is too much. If this is the case, React + stuff is really not the right thing for y…

you can use the functional way of setState by passing a transaction function (state: State) => State . This allows for typed, immutable updates since the function gets passed a cop…

I really don't understand the underlying complaint of your comment that the React ecosystem is in constant flux (see what I did there?) I've been writing React SPAs for roughly two…

From my experience, it is not about the FRP kool-aid. It's about the robustness of the concepts of React (DOM diff-ing, favor immutability, declarative views etc.) Adopting somethi…

It is my main IDE for Typescript since v0.1. VSCode in combination with TypeScript provides a superior Frontend-Dev experience to any other Language - IDE combination in my opinion…

I have written a full production application in CS before switching to JS and then eventually migrated to TS. I was one of the "you save characters, you gain readability" proponent…

Does it matter though? As of today, it is incredibly hard to evaluate frameworks because you generally only have the time to evaluate small examples, but those are usually easy to …

This is great! In my opinion, this should not only be a challenge for Flux frameworks, but generally replace todoMVC as the "go-to" example implementation. This should reveal poten…

One might argue that MMA crosses the line in terms of acceptable injury, but it would be quite unfair to single the sport out as "the sport that crosses the line". Boxing, Kickboxi…

I think this is a bad idea. First with methods, you have mutable state, which I believe should be avoided. It causes a lot of problems for efficient rendering. You could make some …
