    So, does this mean Facebook is adopting VS Code?

    No way engineers will ever do this. We're far to use to TLAs and also, it's way too long. Having a simple, metaphorical brand name allows you to then build on top of that. Can you …

    This document give me tinglings. Something about how the hooks just click with me and I can see how the web changes with WebAssembly and multiple compile targets (native, desktop, …

    There are lots of errors when it comes to reproducing the build on other machines. Pip install -r requirements.txt does not guarantee that you will install the same version of pack…

    ETL tools just can't compete with a tool that forces code to do anything. It might seem backwards, but we've abandoned all non-code environments and force pure-code for configurati…

    Learn from Javascript. As a full stack dev who came to python only recently, I think Python could really learn from what's happening in the js ecosystem.

    The author is wrong that Google and Microsoft don't do this level of illustration - they do and have for a while. They just do it on their home search screens, not on their App Sto…

    You can run this on pre-commit. While you can set PyCharm to run on file save, it is not guaranteed to run on all files. By using a command line tool, you can enforce that all file…

    maybe give it a try. I felt the same way about prettier, but then I realized how much time I save by no longer having to worry about formatting. As I type, I just type it all on on…

    Another reason is that productivity has very specific integration, security, and deployment requirements before it is used. You would never look at a financial terminal that wasn't…

    For us to consider it, it has to be a web app. I don't have time to manage installs on laptops. Also, it's a cool idea to create a virtual cloud engineer, but you're asking people …

    Unlike lots of the posters here, I see a real need for an IDE that's completely free. I have used Eclipse and IntelliJ, and the bloat/bug/setup process in them is incredibly painfu…

    I think you're basing this off of old technology. With webpack 2 and HTTP/2, this is less of an issue. But, the top comment's statement I think is the most valid: if you're loading…

    You're basing a lot of this viewpoint on fast internet connections. Javascript code rendering will be faster if you have a slow internet connection and are using an updated browser…

    The subsidies you bring up to justify your argument do exist. But they also exist in greater numbers for the gas/car manufacturers, so your argument that market forces would make e…

    I think this is the thing I want most languages to adopt. As someone responsible for ensuring a team's work can be supported by new developers, gofmt is a life saver.
