coding4allon React Hot Loader: Tweak React Components in Real Time

I'm just talking about when the video was made/uploaded.

Thanks for writing this. I think I'll try reversing Fitbit beyond Galileo. Also, for those who don't know, Wireshark can sniff the Fitbit dongle using usbmon module incase you don't have a BTLE enabled device. MITMProxy is also great for making dumps to be studied.

Blackberry had a qwerty board on their phones long before anyone else and yet they decided to rely on being the only player in town instead of innovating. I hope Firefox OS takes over and the Blackberry CEO has no choice but to switch to it because of the great ecosystem.

coding4allon Lisp: A Cult I Almost Joined (2005)

I wouldn't call it a cult. I find a lot of people who write CL / SBCL don't care much for Clojure. That was a few years ago though, so maybe this has changed?
