It says: > For most web apps, the DOM remains the better choice. It gives you accessibility, responsive layouts, text selection, input handling, and countless other features for fr…

One example I have that made me excited for this feature is the free recipe manager website I run. Many of the paid-for competitors give users the ability to import unstructured re…

Why do you think this is madness? FB doesn't use git for these monorepos, so that's not really relevant, but I don't understand why you think that it's better to break a repo up be…

The questions are designed to allow an interviewer to get as much signal in the 45 minutes spent in the interview.. that's why they're contrived rather than your typical piece of w…

I think the interviewer may have been a bit standoffish because he/she was expecting you to work out how to reverse a linked list rather than memorizing the algorithm. My CS degree…

I'm pretty sure you can. They're building a wallet, but it's not the only one. It's also separate to the rest of Facebook but likely would integrate with it well

Reasonml is just an alternative syntax for ocaml so you can definitely use it for IO. It's bucklescript that is an alternative backend for the ocaml compiler which allows you to ou…

One reason to avoid imperial units is that people seem to be generally unsure if they're even using them! I might be wrong, but you're probably more familiar with the US system rat…
