Can't tell if this is serious or not.

RTKQ is terrific. Between things like that and MUI, the level of productivity you can achieve really is amazing. Also, thanks for your work -- really, really appreciate it.

Ya, I tend to agree with webmaven. None of the offers jump out in terms of being worth it. Take a break, work on your interview weaknesses, and try again in a bit. Enjoy the summer…

This sounds made up.

Use other forms of electricity generation?

This plus the fact that accepting crypto payments is relatively trivial compared to processing and handling the VAT and sales tax for a billion jurisdictions that also happen to ch…

Really the trick is to use react-spring or react-transition-group and leverage powerful community tools that have solved these complex use cases.

I don't know. I'm not as familiar with Vue, but React's ecosystem is in such a good spot right now. Between things like RTKQ (or react-query), Material-UI, and react-hook-form, the…

It's a monorepo, so the only package you are really interested in is 'packages/react-dom', which I'm guessing is less than 3 million.

Compatibility isn't really a consideration nowadays.

I'd take a look at https://cushionapp.com/blog and https://cushionapp.com/running-costs/ . He's posted on here a couple of times and has a setup that is very similar to what I'd ro…

Very unlikely. You'll see more of a merger where client-side solutions are leveraged in very specific ways to address web requirements -- similar to next.js and gatsby.js.

Well there's one way to slow down China's economy. Nothing says first-world country like crippling student-loan debt.

All of that and more. - Performance: most major frameworks use a virtual DOM to minimize the number of repaints. Off the top of my head, Vue has computed properties that cache calc…

Short answer: maintainability, performance, cross-browser consistency, community plugins, easier developer on-boarding, and framework updates and maintenance (which amplifies most …

Could you elaborate on their aloofness? What exactly do you hope to achieve by regulating them? They seem to take the privacy of their users far more seriously than other competito…

Not the most compelling list of pros/cons that I have ever seen. In terms of raw performance for content sites, I found hybrid implementations like Gatsby.js to beat most things. M…

Heck, I would simply be worried about a 1x drop.

A pyramid scheme involves some form of active (fraudulent) recruitment to help increase the price of the asset. Bitcoin doesn't have this. From what you described above, every sing…

The caveat is that this is in reference to a _landing page_ only. If you try to write an advanced application with vanilla.js and you aren't some Javascript guru, then you are goin…

Well create an index.html, inline a style tag in said file, write some CSS, npm init, npm install http-server -g, update package.json to with this script "start": "http-server", an…

Again, I have no anecdotal experience, but I have a hard time believing that the new hires for those 3 companies are anything but students from top-tier colleges with near perfect …

Yes, people like George W. Bush, who are in the top .00000001% of privilege, don't need to do well before college, in college, after college, or even as a state or country's highes…

While I didn't go to an Ivy, that's clearly not true. Do you honestly think Google, Facebook, Microsoft, Goldman, law schools, medical schools, etc., are going to accept you if you…
