If I were the interviewee and discovered it was a poor fit, I’d consider the lack of an offer or the opportunity to refuse one a win

Emacs has multiple cursors: https://github.com/magnars/multiple-cursors.el

I used VSCode for a few years, but never found a way to work with code in semantic units vs. as text. And I like that no matter what language I'm working in, the experience is the same. VSCode plugin editors may or may not (read: wouldn't have) agreed on a set of conventions for working with code independent of the programming language.

jkdufair | 7 years ago | on: Show HN: Studiokit-Net-JS – Declarative, Configurable API Access for Redux

This is a library we built to simplify access to RESTful APIs in applications using Redux. After a few apps built using thunks for RESTful access, we wanted something that was a bit more opinionated and required less ceremony. There is also an accompanying library, (studiokit-auth-js) [https://github.com/purdue-tlt/studiokit-auth-js], that sits on top of this library and handles authentication and bearer token management. We've used it in production at Purdue for about 18 months now. As the original architect of this library, I thought I'd post it in the event it's useful to others.

"But the website will be online, serving customers"

..., frustrating them, leaking their data, and wasting their time.

Ah but we do! Guns, germs, bombs.

It's amazing how much productivity is draining out of my team when we are waiting fractions of a second for a component to hot reload. I want to go back to vanilla full page re-renders immediately /s

Pretty cool and I look forward to the evolution of this tool. I found that when I tried to use it with a site that requires authentication, only one of the desktop/mobile views would be authenticated at a time. Would be nice if they shared cookies/local storage.
