Excellent! Thank you for a great response.

While we're on the topic of styling, why is the default font size so small? The comment size is 12px. In my view, that's like sub/superscript or caption size, not body copy.

I regularly zoom to 150% on HN or use a bookmark that sets styles via JS so I don't have to strain while reading. Am I the only one? And no, I don't need glasses!

> people WFH 3 or 4 days a week with one day of the week being designated as a "meeting day" where everyone is in the office.

I sort of had this setup before covid: the company I work for does consulting and my coworkers and I will often be at client's offices. When we write our contracts we make sure to always designate Friday as the day where all employees come back to the 'home base' for meetings, catch-ups, socializing, etc. It works quite well, and we'd always look forward to Friday's because of it.

If I could continue to WFH 3-4 days a week and then go into the office on Thursday/Friday, that would be great.

Haven't tried that one. Thank you for the tip!

I recommend the one from Jagger. Best one I've found.

Of course. Jagger [1] is the one I'm speaking of.

I'd love to choose a side. Sadly, I'm living in Copenhagen after living in the U.S. for many years and there's no fried chicken war and barely any fried chicken. I recently found one joint where you can get a decent fried chicken sandwich, though that's about as far as it goes.

It's such a shame because the chicken you can buy here is, to my taste, of much higher quality compared to that in the U.S. The tenderness is incredible, and it's so moist it's almost impossible to overcook. I'm not really sure why it hasn't caught on here. Perhaps it's simply a matter of preference/taste.

Oof. Sorry to hear the FE dev gives up like that. You may become a JS expert if that carries on.

> the solutions seem to be super hacky when I've found other frameworks out there that handle these things out the box or more gracefully.

I'm curious to hear what alternative frameworks handled these things better? The only one I've used recently, other than React, is Vue.

I'd rather work with someone like that, too. All is well and good when one can crank out React components, but if that same person doesn't know how to find, for example, the tag name of a element from an event handler, a little red flag goes up for me, and as you said, probably doesn't know a great deal about what's going on under the hood.

I agree. Though this person can be a bit touchy when constructive criticism is aimed at them, this would most likely be beneficial for them, and also the team, in the medium/long run.

Your last point is a cause of some apprehension for me. In the team I'm currently working with one of my coworkers calls himself a React Developer, and my experience has been that anytime an issue arises that may not be specific to React, this person's ability to problem solve significantly diminishes.

I've seen it in a couple of other individuals as well, and I feel it's becoming more widespread, though I hope I'm wrong. In these instances, I see the framework existing both in the code as well as the mind, and operating outside of it is often a leap too far.
