We wrote enterprise applications with jQuery and Backbone. It didn't scale. React fixed everything. There is no post-React. I'm not "technology-agnostic"- I only use React, and will only work for companies that use…
No, the career growth happened in 2015 when we adopted React and stopped endlessly inserting JS and CSS tags from jQuery plugins. Backbone made things worse. Angular made things worse. React objectively changed my life…
Bingo. Smart people understand the domain of interview questions (which we know is contrived) and typically can study enough to implement the solutions. It's not always about getting the question right- it's about…
can I get a quick rundown of these guys?
Sure, book a free call with me here: react.school/call

Yes, functionality would require skills, and skills require opinionated tools. Opinions require taking a stance, and that's the last thing anyone here wants to do.
JavaScript framework churn (on the frontend) ended 6 years ago. The only thing keeping this meme going is commenters on HN.
Yes I totally understand your point of view. I spent almost a decade paying off a six figure debt for my CS degree. The funniest part? I learned almost nothing about web development in school. No marketable skills that…
I'm saddened that we're comparing a degree in CS to a subscription to Codecademy. I am curious if you've gotten a degree yourself, and whether that degree was from a reputable school. My CS degree is one of my proudest…
Thanks for the explanation, this makes me profoundly sad and is completely absurd. They call it "minting" which I actually thought was a neat way of putting the image itself on chain which can't be deleted and is…
This surely can't be true for the typical image-based NFTs? I thought the entire point is that the full JPEG is embedded in the blockchain, thus not being dependent on any image hosting service.
There is no "pain" managing large React / Redux applications for experienced frontend software engineers. If you don't want to write JavaScript, you probably shouldn't be building interactive applications for the web.…
This is like saying "most products don't work". It's totally subjective. Blatant lies usually aren't tolerated in ad networks. I'm talking about "it's the hottest summer on record, therefore you may consider a pool" not…
Tim recently addressed this exact argument with "my books are not for everyone". He's not saying everyone on Earth should have a 4 hour work week.
Well the footage of his death was "accidentally" erased. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-51053205
I'm following a conspiracy that QAnon is a conspiracy itself designed to take focus away from true conspiracies. Similar circles are all in agreement about Alex Jones as well being a deep state disinfo plant. Clearly…
Advice to Young Frontend Web Developers: Use React. HTML is not a rich enough framework to do client work. Second article in a row here advocating for HTML purism. That is where I jump in and talk about how React…
It's cool that you fixed this, but you shouldn't apologize to this person. You published a free article on your own site. This commenter rudely criticized your site for their nontypical edge case without an ounce of…
The point of my comment is to tell you that you're wrong by saying React is not appropriate for a landing page. Gatsby (a static site generator) provides equal or better performance than regular HTML/CSS. You apparently…
Maybe that's a more productive way for you to work. For those who aren't HTML/CSS purists, we have Gatsby and absolutely no reason not to use React and all its productivity benefits in any and every web project we want,…
Yeah valid points, some companies do that, but I don't think that scales to every candidate who doesn't have a project that isn't protected IP.
Agree with all your points, I'm just coming from the perspective of how I embarrassingly hired a guy who could answer a lot of these questions but couldn't solve the problems we needed him to solve. And that, by…
