I wish I had this corporate experience. We focus on finesse, abstractions, witty or beautiful code. I keep being forced to optimise things that we haven't measured, add new lines to places to make the code pretty, rename variables, functions and avoid using Javascript arrays and use the "more performant" sets, etc etc.
All of this at the price of the god damn feature never being able to land and my PR staying in limbo for weeks.
But this is just another end of the spectrum I guess.
I've been on the other side of this. Big company was under the impression they could ultimately save money by switching from an enterprise ERP solution that costed them hundres of thousands of dollars in licences with an inhouse one. The only problem was the ERP was carrying 90% of the company on it's shoulders and this would've been a horribly large task. I worked on it for 2 years with incompentent managers and slow progress. After I left the company they continued for another 2 and then quit that endevour. Wasting a shitload of money (think 10 devs + managers for 4 years...).
In Macedonian we say "ne me boli kur" or the more prevalent "me boli kur" which mean "my dick does not hurt" or the latter more ironic version "my dick hurts".
This is actually a well done web app in my opinion.
You can disable javascript and the app loads just fine.
JS is used as a progressive enhancement to hydrate.
Probably uses something like NextJS in the background.
The HTML with inlined critical styles load in ~40ms on my internet.
Sure it could be "better" in terms of TTI from the JS side but at what cost?
He's been doing it for a while now. I believe he has setup some google alerts on the words 'redux | thunks | sagas' and he just brings his redux toolkit gospel along. And not just on this site, like, everywhere. Dev.to, reddit, twitter...
I've confronted him once but to no avail, I even got downvoted by the community. :)
That's the opposite of my experience but I'm assuming it's just more used where I'm from. I've gotten 3/3 of my job positions in these past 4 years by recruiters finding me instead of me looking for them. And I was a junior then. I still get contacts and offers in messages and get a connection request or two on the daily by HR people.
With risk to sound controversial but since when is not having a single black person in a team considered a indicator of a negative view towards black people? Would you rather they have a token black person to avoid this?
From a perspective of someone who codes react, what i dont like in ember:
- this this this, so many this keywords
- not a fan of decorators
- constructor and super
- mutability (unless it hides an immutable nature)
- hbs feels weirder to me than jsx
- the fact that you have yet another filetype in your code means even the tiniest components MUST be in more than 1 file, react lets you choose (edit: i rushed, seems there are template literals one can use)
