    For me it's usually just a cost thing. Some movies I just know I'm going to watch multiple times, certain ones even annually. Clicking buy generally already makes sense if you're g…

    Just flat counter fields are terrible in audio software interfaces. Sliders and knobs give you visual feedback of where you are along a line and an easy way to quickly increase/dec…

    Yes it would. People have no choice but to read college textbooks. They do have a choice when it comes to the usability of your site. You might not care, but you are not your users…

    Oh, it opens a little toolbar with that option. I literally just discovered this because of your comment. This highlights my experience with these controls pretty well... I have no…

    Couldn't you use something like GitLens for that? I haven't used it in a bit but IIRC it lets you see your changes versus any branch pretty easily. Personally if I do feel the need…

    You have no idea whether or not I lack those. If you're going to make a blanket ad-hominem statement like that, at least don't follow it up by agreeing with my point. Nobody is tel…

    Grow up. And accept that both have merit. You may not like it but there's a reason languages, tools, companies, products, whatever become popular. And it isn't just because "people…

    Fair enough. But no need for the faux-legalese, it isn't clear whether the OP sanitised it or copied it that way. That changes nothing about my comment though, just who sanitised i…

    For sure it isn't the perfect solution for everything, and I say that as someone who spends most of their time in either React or Angular now. For application-like development or j…

    Good. Innovation isn't the latest framework that barely improves the model and as much as front-end developers like to nit about bundle size, 100kb here and there isn't going to ma…

    It think it says something that you'd be willing to jump to conclusions. You "learned" it was sanitised and make a point about people willing to alter the truth, then you personall…

    My current mornings are pretty relaxed. I wake up an hour before I have to go to work, drink a glass of water, have a coffee while listening to some music and I might be browsing s…

    Take notes as you go or by chapter. If a chapter has a summary at the end, read that first before going through the chapter. If there are code examples, write them out and play aro…

    Yeah that's very poor practice. I get why your site may require JS and have nothing for me if I turn it off, but do at least render some fallback with a bit of info so I know what …

    I suppose that notion went away _because_ of JS and cookies. Looking at it from a business perspective, it's also a matter of cost. How big a percentage of people have JS off (I se…

    No, we can't. We can't agree on your stance, because other people have different stances. You may have some reason why you want JS and cookies disabled, but many people don't. JS h…

    We used to share designers between teams at a company I worked for. It worked nicely, but the approach has its drawbacks as well, in that the person designing an extension to somet…

    It usually works out fine when you do a `git pull --rebase`, but not everyone does this or has it setup so pulling might have some nasty effects. Generally helps to consider a feat…

    I commit as clean as possible, each one should be a functioning feature or a part of it. I try to do small ones, so generally they'll just be part of a feature I have on my todo li…

    I have to apologise to the parent commenter, I laughed inappropriately hard at that. Still, quite confronting to see how much time you have left statistically. For me it got me to …

    Could also be that I'm remembering it wrong, but I recall having some issues with CRA and structuring tests at some point. In any case, CRA sets up a separate src and test folder, …
