I love Ember - and one of the best things about it is its emphasis on convention over configuration. React is the exact opposite. While it's an amazing library, it only makes up one part of a front-end stack, which…
The problem with coalescing around React is that it's not really a framework. The lack of a default Rails-like monolith encourages every dev to assemble their project from a la carte pieces - so every React app has a…
Sounds like an opportunity to sell some roadside assistance (either from Tesla directly, or from a third party that will pick up the slack otherwise).

The professor's attitude that you're talking about is perfectly valid - as is your own (opposite) attitude. The tension is a result of modern universities being dual-purpose. On one hand, the university is supposed to…
Memorizing documentation and obscure bash tricks is the last thing a developer should be expected to do. Even reading the documentation (in its 'raw' form) can sometimes be harmful, because you miss out on the…
This is great! What's everyone's strategy? I was able to get 20 by obsessively combining small tiles first, but just barely. The biggest problem is the rows that calcify and lock together if you don't actively try and…
