You've got some deep McD's knowledge going here. What other hacks or tips do you have?

Really cool but why is there no text chat?
Edit: I communicate with my friends IRL primarily through text so having to use audio only is definitely a detractor for me.

Isn't the common sentiment now that Redux is no longer considered a must-have for all greenfield projects?
Also aren't communication apps a perfect use case for Redux due to the need to have events from multiple sources happen in a single store in a linear order?

What's the definition of a child's long term prosperity? Is it grades or does it take into account emotional/physical well-being? And do those studies go into adulthood?
Re:Why Good Developers Are Promoted into Unhappiness (2007)

This is the biggest counterpoint to the article. I think a bad developer promoted to a position of management wreaks much more havoc than an unhappy good one.
Re:Building a front end with no JavaScript

It definitely seems like two extremes right now. Personally I think we should strive for minimalism when working with JS. Things get bloated very quickly when non-technical departments have requests (tracking, A/B testing, ads, etc). These things often cannot be pushed back on.
My feelings are that front end devs should focus on performance by reducing what is in their control -- basically dependencies and overengineered clients
Re:You probably don't need that hip web framework
on Tuesday April 02, 2019 @08:46PM (#19559909)
The hard part in my experience is that a lot of teams don't know if they absolutely need it. I have worked on some projects that are more hype driven development using React/Redux/Sagas for a barely interactive webapp. It adds a ton of complexity for little to no benefit.
Re:Ask HN: How old were the most talented software engineers you've met?
on Wednesday January 02, 2019 @11:28PM (#18812817)
One of the most talented engineers I ever met was 24. He built a 3D engine in JavaScript for fun as well as a raycaster for fun. He also enjoyed challenging himself in all sorts of interesting ways like doing Advent of Code in C++.

Can you please elaborate more on the Fire All Heroes philosophy? I looked into it and couldn't find anything describing it in depth
