I never realised this - thanks! It feels like by adding styling I could make those who click on the “feed” link, but don’t yet know what RSS is have a much better experience than s…

The class name on the HTML element definitely makes me want to start using more expressive class names in my code. (Doesn't seem I'm able to copy/paste it into a Hacker News commen…

I have a blog with two main categories that are pretty separate: https://jasono.co/blog/software-engineering/ - mostly focused on front end, and a lot of older posts about the Haxe…

They were considered, I was on the team that considered them. (I work at Culture Amp and at one point was leading the Design System team). To be clear: embedding Elm in React is ea…

I work at Culture Amp and was once team lead of the Design System team. Its not hard to justify the team. If 4 front end engineers in a design system team can solve some common pro…

(I'm a front end engineer at Culture Amp, and have been involved in hiring) Perhaps the wording in the blog post is too strong, because people in this thread seem to be interpretin…

(I work at Culture Amp) In our interviews one of the things we look for is people who care about our mission (improving workplace cultures, basically). Its not a requirement but it…

I work at Culture Amp and have been involved in hiring decisions, including for people who were excited about Elm so happy to comment here. As others have guessed, this is an "indi…

As an engineer at Culture Amp, I strongly agree with all of this, especially: > Actually improving employee engagement is far from solved or commoditised, and I believe that anyone…

That was a helpful read, thanks. My company (also in Melbourne!) is probably one stage of growth beneath this. We have “verticals” and “teams” but don’t really have the layer in th…

Oh I’ve got to give that a go!

I used Haxe full time for several years for web development (even started a startup with it!) It predated Typescript, so at the time the killer feature was being able to write type…

Browser vendors are finally catching on. From Firefox 72 permission prompts won’t be shown unless they’re triggered from a user interaction. From the blog post: > Notification prom…

I can read it just fine from here (Telstra 4G)

One possible approach is talked about in the latest Elm-town podcast: https://elmtown.audio/the-risk-of-elm-dhruv-dang

Amazing work! I'll be following along keenly... and glad to know there's an exhaustive approach being taken to figuring out if anything else was affected

It's our version of sports teams. ("Cavs are better than 76ers!") We pick a tribe and can be loud and obnoxious in support of them.

I’ve used it for web (my failed startup was in Haxe, my side projects still are mostly Haxe). To be honest these days I mostly just use it as a “better JavaScript” because I’d pref…

One advantage Python might have is that the dependencies you use are human readable, they're not compiled, minified or obfuscated. This in theory would make auditing dependencies e…

The “containers” thing they’re doing to have separate containers with separate cookie jars, is something I’m loving that some die hard Chrome fans have said “I want that” when I ex…

If you're reading HN as a 16 year old I like the chances that you'll be entrepreneurial enough to make your own way even in a bad economy. Either just finding the opportunities loc…

As an Aussie, a very confronting read. You're kind of aware of various problems brewing on the horizon, that China's demand for iron ore is low, that our housing costs are too high…
