This is the biggest reason I can't completely switch... lack of bicycle directions is the other.

Normally that kind of failure would be quickly recoverable without a hospital visit/surgery, I’m sorry that this one was not.

"The new hotness" is not a problem. It is a problem when developers insist on using "the new hotness" regardless of whether it adds value. There are many thousands of applications using React without hooks that are working just fine and will continue to do so indefinitely.

The author's criticisms do not seem to be insightful. They boil down to "bah humbug stop changing things". Did you get something more useful out of it?

This is a long-winded rant that seems to boil down to advocating for avoiding frameworks altogether. Not worth the watch.

TLDW: “the whole point behind this video, guys, is maybe we should ditch React because all of these changes are because of short-sighted architecture, and maybe we all shouldn’t just be these herd animals that are constantly taking and following the herd from one section of the field to the other you know we keep going around in circles and getting nowhere.”

Googling this man's name (Brian Leung Kai-ping) reveals a number of articles suggesting that he fled to the United States immediately after this event. However, I can't tell whether any of the web sites reporting this news are trustworthy. When I first read these reports I immediately dismissed him and his comments to the LA Times but now I wonder if the story of his flight is propaganda intended to negate his courage.

The Dexcom G6 system does not require any calibration, insertion is remarkably pain-free, and it lasts for 10 days. I've had it for a few months (after a couple of years of using the G5 system) and I can't imagine living without it.

My intention was to succinctly address the post, not to cherry pick. I do not disagree with anything in Matt's email but I do see opportunities for his intention to be misinterpreted. I agree that he could have been more careful.

Frankly, statements like "anyone with common sense who is paying attention knows exactly what this means" are intellectually lazy. Please explain "exactly what this means" because I do not see it.

What Matt Maloney (Grubhub CEO) said was:

"I want to affirm to anyone on our team that is scared or feels personally exposed, that I and everyone else here at Grubhub will fight for your dignity and your right to make a better life for yourself and your family here in the United States. If you do not agree with this statement then please reply to this email with your resignation because you have no place here."

That's not an statement against supporting Donald Trump, that's a demand for the protection of human dignity and opportunity. Perhaps the author assumes that there are no Trump supporters who support dignity and opportunity for all, an absolutely false generalization.
