Wouldn’t shock me. I snapped back at an HN moderator for being a hypocritical ass a while back. HN is a clique.

Used to work there. Yes, he is. Absolutely. Without a second of doubt.

I used to be the same way and I found it came from overuse of types in some applications I worked on. I know the TypeScript working group at Netflix found the same thing. Generally…

Long story short: They solve a problem that is attractive to solve in a way that is not super useful for how most people want to develop an application. They're client side only (i…

We're everything! JS is heavily used, as is Groovy, Java, Python, C and C ++, etc. Depends on the project and the team. We're not about limiting people, but the choice should be ju…

It doesn’t have to be function calls though. Conceptually it’s a nested model, that’s it. It could quite easily be a series of nested objects. The point is not that it abstracts fu…

Nothing you described there is “agile” however. In fact they run counter to every fundamental thing agile stands for. Sounds like your company slammed an agile label on a broken pr…

Potential utility is different to actual utility though. Is that stuff actually useful to them right now? Or in general? If the answer is no then it has zero utility.

> WebGL commands don't need to be called via JS after anyref and host bindings land So they DO need to be called by JS now. Which was what they said. The WASM advocates obsession w…

Conversely - Privacy is becoming a bigger and bigger issue and there is only one company that has shown any ability in that area to stand up for it in fundamental design choices. A…

Yes. Just is different forms. C++ has been through similar compatibility hell.

If I had to guess it’ll be some kind of named Symbol under the hood.

So what you’re saying is that you, and the authors of the article, failed the Untellectual Turing Test then? Because that’s verifiably nonsense if you actually talked to anyone lib…

Main difference is that a "grilled cheese" is two slices with cheese in between (usually). Cheese on Toast is, by its very name, where the cheese is on the toast. An open-faced gri…

If someone isn’t performing in their role the way the company wants (this may be due to many things, interests, changing role requirements, etc. Doesn’t say anything about the skil…

We’re heavy users of LOTS of languages at Netflix to be fair. Clojure included.

> So every employee gets to be badmouthed in front of as many as hundreds of former co-workers, as Netflix's special parting gift? Well no. It’s usually very positive about them an…

If it was a fear based culture I would agree with you - I’ve worked in those & left as fast as I could. Netflix is not even close to that in my experience, nor have I seen any evid…

LOL what? BASIC has been around since before Microsoft was even a glint in Gates & Allen’s eyes. Since 1964 to be exact. While many 8-bit versions of BASIC were derived from MS BAS…

You're getting downvoted for some reason. You're 100% correct. In Indian cuisine it's used as an umami enhancer. Usually with turmeric in vegetable dishes - especially lentil curri…

Well if you’re going to plain lie about my actions on this site (viewable to all) then what would be the point?

I work at a public company that doesn’t offer RSUs. Neither did the last one I was at. You’re plain wrong.

Including the value of stock options in those figures is incredible bullshitting. For those wondering: the “first rung” is more like $110k plus stock options (which you have to pay…

In SF yes, not the Bay as a whole (which is the cited area)

I know a guy with a Tesla that drives for Uber. Some people just like driving & side hustles
