I'm not claiming React is perfect by any means, and like any popular relatively longstanding project is is bound by sometimes unwise historical decision. It just seems to be curren…

A concrete example then. Commonly want to prevent form submission default behaviour. Vanilla const form = document.getElementById("form"); form.addEventListener("submit", event => …

JSX is just sugar around JavaScript, and interops nicely with it. I'm okay with that. The more I write JSX, the better I become at the programming language I'm using. Concepts and …

I consider this example fundamentally broken, in a non-obvious way that reflects, in my opinion, a poor API choice. let numbers = $state([1, 2, 3, 4]); function addNumber() { numbe…

Used Astro for a pro bono project. Found it fantastic, well documented, provides solutions for the hard parts, gets out of the way for the easy parts. Documentation is well written…

Been here seven years. Next is hot garbage and you couldn't pay me enough to work with it.

Here's a short list of things the current citizens of England didn't do: - Genocide against the people who lived in America - Bring India to its knees, from one of the richest to o…

Will watch the TED talk, thanks for sharing. I come at this from a medical/epidemiological background prior to building software, and no doubt this shapes my view on the language w…

This is what I was driving at in my original comment - the intermediary steps are not of interest (from the POV of the hypothesis/overall experiment), so why mention them at all.

On point 7 ((Testing an unclear hypothesis), while agreeing with the overall point, I strongly disagree with the examples. > Bad Hypothesis: Changing the color of the "Proceed to c…

Writing an article about developer mistakes is easier than redesigning your rubbish API though.

Most experience with DynamoDB, which isn't without challenges, and has a steepish learning curve to get the most out of it. I work in pre-market fit startup though, so hyper-scalea…

Civilised society might prefer no weapons?

Really do not share your experience with CosmosDB, some of it's attributes that currently make me miserable include... - Scaling is not infinite, it's up to 20gb per partition key …
