Well, Angular has a very heavy initialization penalty, enough that I know of a few companies that ditched it for React. I'll also add, as your front-end becomes more complex and us…

Pretty badass. In addition to Turbolinks, there is also http://instantclick.io that has the benefit of prefetch which helps with perceived snappiness.

It is more maintainable (in the sense that functionality isn't bound to the DOM structure or class names). I'd argue there's a bit less repetition across your app, but it's not as …

I'd also add, moving to components doesn't rely on DOM structure either (ex. $(this).parent().parent().find(:el)...)

Front-end frameworks are going to give you a few things: more control over routing, more "app" like behavior, instant state changes (easily done), and most of all: your front end i…

Well, it would probably be built into the insurance carriers' web stack. Dev teams need to keep up with the latest tech so they don't lose talent and can justify ever increasing sa…

Regardless of hits, React is designed for UIs that need to "React". That's the motivation behind the library. It's better suited to social networking applications than it would be …

"(whose idea of a standard library is adding an underspecified `fetch` after 15 years of people writing wrappers around XMLHttpRequest)." So true.

Yes!!!!

Thank god for speaking up about this. This whole thread has me contemplating a career change. I'd rather dig a hole and fill it back in. The OP is pondering what framework to use f…

Is it really worth the trade-off? I remember eCommerce sites trying to do similar levels of interactivity with Flash too. I just think, for a catalog site, it seems like you're try…

Web Monkey

Based on previous work experience, like-ability, references, and a take home exercise.

Ha! I've had to do a few of those recently. Unfortunately, they were the ones where you write code as the hiring manager watches. Not a fan of those...

My understanding of full stack is frontend + backend web development. Sysadmin/devops is it's own discipline.

Probably except this one: A balance of technical, business, and social/emotional intelligence. More than likely someone with this sort of technical capacity doesn't score well in o…

Really? At what point does basic become deep?

See my reply above...

I'm not sure you parsed the description correctly. They're not looking for someone with a mere grasp on these technologies. ========================================================…

I imagine it is a more senior role. While it's not uncommon somebody has "experience" in those items listed, it all comes down to what exactly that experience is. Dabbling in misce…

Encourage more personal photos. And ban links from Newsfeed. It's really that simple.

You need them to clarify deep understanding? If someone said they wanted a candidate to have a deep understanding of jet engines, I'd expect they know every single thing there is t…

Except I don't think that's the case. The field is too wide for someone's attention to go deep in all of those areas. You might say, well give me a 10 yr runway. The problem is mos…

I don't know if it's just me, but I'm getting pissed off at job requirements. For example, below: ============================================== The ideal candidate has the followi…

It's actually PJAX.
