I think it's only a red flag if you don't want to work remotely. I've been doing it for about 1.5 years straight now with a 6 month stint in the past a couple years ago. With a wif…

I think it requires a different mindset in that with programming, I can, for many tasks but not all, kind of get in the zone and crank things out. But (for me) design is not like t…

If you need or will need a web equivalent, you should look into react-native-web (and just for interest, react-native-dom but that is much more expiremental -- I'd stick with -web …

React Native is far from dead. I suspect your conflating "React Native isn't good for Airbnb" with "React Native is dead". The reality is Airbnb already had mobile applications. Th…

I really hesitated to reply on this but I'm about 15+ years into my career and what the heck. On the one hand, I agree with you. On the other hand, I really disagree. The reason I …

My goal is to live the life I want to live knowing that what I want will change over time. My biggest drive right now is to gain financial independence through both lowering my cos…

No, just find a company that is into Software Craftsmanship and sign up for an apprenticeship. There are a lot out there although you might need to move to a major city if you're n…

It is not the kind of caching that the post I'm replying to is advocating ("the entire app can live offline and even cache data in local storage"). I mentioned the caching I am doi…

That really is dependent on use case though. In my current project, I want the most up to date data possible so no caching. In reality, it is cached locally in the browser state an…

I haven't written this functionality in, it's a browser API: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/History_API https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/history.html#histor…

NATS is another option but I think your requirements would lead you to NATS Streaming: https://nats.io/documentation/streaming/nats-streaming-intro... It doesn't offer compression …

It's not an ugly hack at all. It works well, the browser history works properly and the interaction is just as if the pages were being fetched from the server. At any point in time…

But I have zero use for SEO-friendly pages -- all my client-side pages are behind a login-wall. It isn't one big blob of JSON -- it's multiple endpoints. With HTTP/2, multiple smal…

Well that is a whole other debate. The best thing about React is common patterns. Second best is the availability of components. I've worked with JavaScript for a long time -- the …

If you're on the fence about server-side rendering being needed for your webapp don't do it! As a team of two with one engineer, I decided YAGNI and instead focused on the responsi…

But the problem is if you assign a rotating duty to your engineering staff, you as an engineer have no direct impact on how often you will be called due to the half-assed work of o…

Chasing bugs? Yes. Being on-call? No. Not unless you signed up for that. Too many companies think they can just get Pagerduty going and sign up all their engineering staff for oper…

My experience is the opposite. I work on front end but I focus on applications. There is a lot of change but it's exciting and browser-based applications are replacing native appli…

It is silly to kick JavaScript in this example because the bug* is in the library of a custom JavaScript interpreter not a common runtime. * https://github.com/code-dot-org/JS-Inte…

I much prefer putting the styles in a separate {componentName}.scss file, import'ing that into the component and using the Webpack Extract Text Plugin: https://github.com/webpack-c…

One last thought -- you could add 'app' as a potential suffix to the search term.

Well supporting more TLDs would be great. I know we just had that big discussion about the downsides to .io domains on HN (but I actually am reliant on a .io domain -- domain squat…

I clicked through via PH. I did a few searches and left. How about an option to send me updates on my query? That way, you can capture my email and notify me when the query results…

I was curious -- it's actually worth reading. "We have therefore decided to match what we paid for .io domains in the past with donations to the Chagos Conservation Trust and the U…

Does Revolut offer recurring payments for the business accounts? I'd ask them but looks like I'd have to call and talk to them as a non-customer. I see they are also building an AP…
