and in this instance the slides on the website are also not the full informational load, the docs are.

Analyzing usability metrics is not in the purview of a developer typically, especially not for random tech tools.
austinthetaco··on Where is Ruby Headed in 2021?
in what way is the library ecosystem more robust? if anything library use is down due to centralization around specific frameworks and tool chains.

it taking up more of an app's code doesn't mean that it suddenly has a need for typing. but even then, that assertion is incorrect, javascript has been making up a large majority of the codebase for quite some time now. Nodejs is 12 years old and jquery 15. That argument is one that could've been made like 9 years ago, but even then, multiple projects have tried adding typing and the javascript community strongly rejected it (heck typescript was pushing for it in 2014). Anecdotally, I've met considerably more and more developers coming from C# projects who are being made to do frontend work or find work in the javascript world, who seem to be very intent on pushing for typescript in their orgs.

I really feel the same about javascript with typescript. It feels a heck of a lot like new grads or old c#/java devs trying to keep up with the times by switching to javascript, but then resisting the code structure and loose typings.

no, it's not on them, it's on you for choosing to take money out of their pocket. They have chosen the monetization revenues that they are comfortable with, circumventing the way people make money while watching their content is highly unethical. You don't show up to a local course or theatre production and use a fake credit card because you dislike the fact that they use visa.

that is one horrific way to guarantee the content creators you enjoy don't get money.

No one is censoring thoughts and any conversations that are snooped on are ones you allow to be snooped on by using a free service.

That makes me wonder why you choose to stop by HN. Surely there are a large number of other tech-based feeds that would suit you better.

As an aside: anyone know what this documentation was made with? this looks like it would be great for dev docs.

I've been working in software for 6+ and IT for about 10. of those 6 years at least 4+ of them have been using React + Redux and Node for the full 6. I've worked on everything from high-volume grey-label shopping experiences to small medical applications. I've lead teams and strongly enjoy mentoring. I've recently completed a contract and am looking to find something more steady.
