The article doesn't bash react, but it does say that Vue's ability to use conditionals is superior.

How would what he did do that?

Strikes me the key is to control more of the news supply chain and become their own aggregators. I think it's similar to the way Hulu is owned by some networks and some studios.

There's a substantial difference between forcing someone out because of the potential that other people would shun them for political reasons vs because they are taking a stand that you think would do irreparable harm to your industry. The first is pure politics, with only the indirect consequences on your company that all businesses could face. The other is a piece of pointed legislation whose primary goal will disrupt your industry.

As a new programmer I'd say there's an aspect that you're ignoring. The need to take reasonable steps, and to know if not your limitations at least where you stand.

You want to take the next step that has enough familiar aspects that you can acclimate reasonably quickly and build non-trivial programs (the fun part) in a reasonable amount of time. But also different enough that you're exposed to new concepts and new ways of thinking about programming, and also to have access to a more powerful language.

Simply diving head first into a powerful but completely foreign language might not be the best way. Coding can be as frustrating as it is rewarding. And there's something to be said for trying to maximize the rewards and minimizing the frustrations.

What do terrorist networks and how they live have to do with internet security or even the outsourcing of trust in general?

On a technical level there's no meaningful connection.

Just talking philosophically they "live in caves" because the US & other govt's have armies trying to kill them. It has nothing to do with trust networks. If anything that style of trust networking has made them more secure as it's difficult to penetrate. The point that OP was making.

Finally, personal trust networks have worked remarkably well. Look at guanxi in China, social societies like the Freemasons (not in a "control the world" way, just better business contacts, etc.). These are all based on networks of trust.

I have no idea if this is the best way forward for the web but a comparison to terrorist networks is meaningless.

It wouldn't have been nearly as compelling without a live demonstration. I guess he felt it was worth the bad score.
