trias | 4 years ago | on: Hooks are the best thing to happen to React

To me React hooks look like they want to be a different programming language while still using js-syntax. It would be great if "useState", "useMemo" and the like would be first class citizens in a PL.

Hooks as they are have some non-obvious rules which can make them hard to understand / learn. Also debugging is not great (but that's true for react in general, imo)

I agree totally. It matches my learnings in my career as well. But how much slack is the right amount? What do you think?

I've made the opposite experience (in germany). No company will ever fire anyone. If they really need to, they give you a generous leaving package. The only exception is if the company going bankrupt, in which case the state might help (Kurzarbeit or bail out).

sounds like we are working at the same company ;)

Good to see that this approach seems to be working for you, i wish you the best.

sounds like an ideology lock-in. Let's hope you never get a problem which does not fit your current architecture well, or else you'll end up spending weeks or even months solving an otherwise trivial problem.

I've worked with "configuration-based implementations" and in my experience they are hard to work with (no debugging, incomplete documentation and implementation, little flexibility), require an staggering amount of infrastructure, are hard to test and will approach a programming language over time.

that's an unusual style of communication. You are coworkers. If you don't know the answer immediately, say it.

Consider too, that i might be blocked as long as i don't have an answer.

trias | 5 years ago | on: No Hello (2013)

I dont expect an immediate reply, just within reasonable time. I i've made the experience that a question you ask upfront simply gets ignored and then forgotten.

trias | 5 years ago | on: No Hello (2013)

if you write "hello" and they answer "hello", they are under some social obligation to answer rather promptly, whereas if you write your question first, it may simply get ignored. So I tend to write a short hello first.

possibly some other social factors at play here, but still, my experience.

trias | 6 years ago | on: 94k Bitcoin (1B USD) transferred from unknown wallet to unknown wallet

Bitcoin is inflationary, as there is new money created every 10 minutes or so. Wether it increases or decreases in value relative to the USD is subject to speculation regarding the expectations of the "demand" of bitcoins, which are certainly not stable. USD on the other hand is much more stable regarding inflation or deflation.

> majority of js developers that take surveys

i like that qualification :)

most likely typescript is still a very small minority given how large the javascript world is
