What sorts of "healthy laws" would you suggest the government pass to curb TikTok specifically?

I'd chalk it up to a difference of opinion then - I like simplicity, but I'd take verbose clarity over it any day. Having to explain to newer engineers the nuances of hooks (and th…

I don't entirely agree - the old React way was verbose and explicit about when events are executed. This allowed developers to more concretely reason about logical workflows in app…

These effectively boil down to ROI - it's tricky to quantify what return a tool will give, but its even harder to quantify the cost of switching over. At a big enough company, most…

In a perfect world, things would be like you describe. Unfortunately we live in a diverse landscape of browsers and devices, many of which have not been updated in quite some time.…

Perhaps, but this assumes that this information is available and accessible. Many engineering organizations don't have full documentation on institutional knowledge, and many thing…

There is value in 'ranking' things like books and authors: It may serve to emphasize a point someone is making about their relative importance or impact. It's helpful to have some …

It appears that this setting controls cross-account like visibility on posts: "Even if a user has Like Counts enabled, they will not be able to see the number of likes on accounts …

+1 to this. As long as proper privacy concerns are addressed and the data gathering is imperceptible to the product experience, telemetry signals are immensely valuable for improvi…

The title requires context - although given recent events we can infer that it is referring to the specific mutation seen in the UK. This particular mutation is of note since it ha…

While this may fix the issue you pointed out, it gets rid of a crucial benefit of managing a team you're familiar with: context and trust. By the time a manager gets promoted, they…

I understand the frustration, but A/B testing is one of the more objectively tools we have at our disposal. While there are good arguments against A/B testing UI changes and doing …

While I agree with your premise, its important to stress that finding solutions by 'blowing up your server' and starting fresh are rarely sustainable. It's often a useful exercise …

With respect to body fat percentage, I would caution being conservative with your goals. I don't know your personal situation, but my experience with this area led me to a powerful…

The headache doesn't come from building out this 'simple' bare bones solution. It comes from making it play well with the larger ecosystem you're integrating it with, and committin…
