What are their diversity numbers? What are their metrics? Are diverse hires paid fairly?

I ask because they have a concrete history of discrimination towards black employees!

I worked on the PWA from its inception until the past few months. The size difference is real, and I'd wager that it was 75% at parity with the native featureset at the time I left :)
Re:Why I Don't Use React Router on Saturday September 17, 2016 @01:59AM (#12519354)
If you're looking to jump ship and your projects use Redux, you might find https://github.com/FormidableLabs/redux-little-router to be a nice alternative. RRv4 still hoards URL state within a component, while Little Router just puts it in the store. This makes deriving most of your app from URL state a reality.

Check out https://formidable.com/blog/2016/07/11/let-the-url-do-the-ta... for more on how we differentiate from the RR philosophy.

Re:Why I Left Gulp and Grunt for Npm Scripts on Friday June 10, 2016 @02:22AM (#11874618)
The move to npm scripts is such a regressive fashion choice in the frontend world. Which of the following sounds better?

- Write your build with the full power of the language you use everyday and orchestrate it with a thin layer like Gulp - Write uncommented (and uncomment-able) bash scripts where parallelism, streaming, and cross-platform compatibility require nontrivial effort

Gulp isn't as complicated as some have insinuated. You don't even need to use Gulp plugins if that's a concern–it's just Node!

I'd much rather write Javascript to build Javascript than memorize CLI arguments and break all of my scripts on Windows.

I will say that the best part of npm scripts is that they're not Grunt :)
