I think the moral flexibility of the diaspora and the people who encouraged it for $ would be a way more interesting article.

From the linked article linked about 'Fast':

Earlier this year, NPR reported on how CEO Holland had his share of controversy in Australia prior to starting Fast. Holland’s former startup, Tow.com.au, which aimed to be “the Uber of towing,” failed in what at least one person described as a “disaster.” NPR’s article noted that Holland’s previous venture was embroiled “in a multimillion-dollar billing dispute with the Australian state government over towing and impounding fees that led to the startup’s liquidation in 2018.”

Another commenter mentions the 'moral flexibility' of Uber. From the featured photo this appears to be another attribute of the diaspora. The business model of Arrived is frankly disgusting.

I highly recommend "Poverty, By America" if you'd like the background for my comment.

This is very small thinking. The context is to produce value for a user on a web platform. I’m well aware of the APIs and limitations for each of these.

Mirrors my experience exactly. Used polymer, angular, react and lit element. I’ve been able to rely on react for almost a decade. The others have just been mistakes

If this article were right, Google X would have transformed our daily lives in so many ways by now

I hope OP realizes this is a toxic work environment

I had those too. AirPods are incredible and will change your mind about wireless headphones

Are we ever going to start talking about Stanford’s connection to this and related?

Every once in a while there is a well written blog post about database internal. Uber's Postgres-MySql switch saga produced a few of them. This one is pretty good too

Meh

Everything, really.

- Battle tested choices for libraries

- Documentation outside of our own (O'reilly books, online courses, etc..)

- SO posts about issues and sticky points

- Patterns for implementation (lack of these is shitty for JR devs. The only place to learn is PR feedback)

- Popular style guides

- IDE plugins

...and many more. Like being able to list POPULAR_LIBRARY_FROM_JOB_DESC on a resume when I can finally leave this job where leadership prioritized the browser's needs over dev comfort and productivity

Also, the advantages of web components and shadow DOM have never shown up. They only make CSS and browser testing more difficult

I don't think you'll ever get away without a build chain using LitElement. If you are, I think your project is a toy, hobby, or very far from complete

These descriptions are helpful for a very focused view of one piece of a project. As somebody who writes lit-element every day, I miss React and Angular like crazy for everything else they solve and provide.
