Linear Algebra and it's Applications, a textbook by Gilbert Strang was the most entertaining textbook I've ever perused in engineering.
He has a great sense of humour and keeps slipping jokes in unexpected places.

Having used both Angular (since 1.0) and React (only recently), it's obvious why React is more popular. Any decent engineer can be productive in React within a day since the concepts are so intuitive and simple. With Angular, if you don't really know how things work, you are going to struggle a lot for a while.
While i can't speak for the rendering performance, the design itself is definitely elegant and not built for "code monkeys" but real engineering productivity
The customer service or tech support isn't as great as Stripe but they have a really intuitive model for marketplaces
But the development experience is not as impressive for Xcode. It is far slower than Android.
Deploying an app to the Play Store is ridiculously fast and frictionless while deploying to the App Store feels like installing Windows XP
But, all the hullabaloo in the article about Ad links making money for Google v/s the others that don't seems misplaced. After all, the point of a search engine is to find stuff. And if an ad shows an alternative, that is possibly better, you can click on it.
These ad links are definitely not going to download malicious malware onto your devices.
I am more worried about ads on social media platforms with infinite scroll because those ads are more unpredictable in placement.
>* Ability to have multiple team members in my company share and update my list of contacts
>* Ability to group contacts by company or conference etc. so I can contact them at once.
And you can possibly create API integrations between Sheets and your inbox etc using Zapier.
But the reactions to this service is slight proof that an organisation evokes lesser negative reactions than an individual
People doing a lot of web development wanted to make their lives easier but found the way other frameworks are doing it to be really convoluted. So they created their own framework which makes perfect sense to them.
As a developer getting into this, just pick any well-maintained framework and you should be able to get your job done.
Our body is incredibly good at conserving energy which is why we feel less tired running 5kms daily after a while.
Only interesting point is the barrier on how quickly we can reach this efficiency with the limitation of how much fuel we can consume.
Voting today is a complex and costly process. Hence, it cannot be carried out frequently and hence the accountability/ feedback loop is slower.
Imagine if we could conduct voting in a day (even in large democracies). We would be able to remove bad representatives faster.
But UI/ UX is hard and it is very easy to get sucked down a vortex trying to get something to be exactly as you envisioned . And this drain on your mental energy can cause you to give up projects mid-way.
On the other hand, i always get a massive sense of progress when i'm able to interact with a feature through a UI.
I too despise(d) UI work like you when i spend a lot of time on things that i expect to be simple. The way i approach it now is to work with the mindset that the UI only has to be good enough. It does not have to look shiny and polished as long as it is able to deliver the value you are creating with your system.
