My team/org wasn't even in that country, I was just working remotely from it.
igvadaimon··on If you are useful, it doesn't mean you are valued
I was valued. Then the company laid off the whole country and stopped hiring in that country.

In the end it's just luck.

Some nerve flossing exercise blocks now even contain some Tai Chi movements.
igvadaimon··on “Open source” seeds loosen Big Ag’s grip on farmers
They get unique characteristics, like all the tomatoes look identical and have long shelf life which is important for customers because they "eat with their eyes". They also taste like shit but who cares, right?

SmoothScroll app on mac.
igvadaimon··on Why did I leave Google or, why did I stay so long?
You read the comment wrong.

What he meant wasnt age.

Which doesn't work even in Chrome.
igvadaimon··on Ask HN: Best practice for estimating development tasks?
I think this kind of thing comes only with experience. Large amounts of experience.

There are simply too many factors to consider. The team, the client, the project.

I usually follow this rule: take the worst case scenario estimate and then double it :)

igvadaimon··on Getting Started with Webpack 2
I guess most of the changes are 'under the hood', but there are some breaking changes in configuration as well.

"loaders" => "rules" etc.

igvadaimon··on Ask HN: How do I stop myself being toxic?
Well, it can be you simply aren't accustomed to working in very bureaucratic and slow environments. You either go with the flow or switch jobs.

I am toxic myself and I also have problems with it. So I try to constantly "monitor" what I am saying and how I am feeling. Sometimes it just helps to say to yourself "stop, don't overreact" and to force yourself to calm down. Sometimes we make situation out of no situation.

I found them wonderful.

igvadaimon··on Gaming pays off for two teenagers
I thought this article would be about people streaming on twitch and receiving donates.

Because let's be honest, it wasn't really gaming that paid off in this case, but programming and hard work.

igvadaimon··on Things to Avoid When Writing CSS
I think what author meant here is order of those compiled files. For example, when 'media_queries.css' comes before 'main.css', those media queries will be most likely overwritten.
igvadaimon··on Stop using React for everything
I am using React and all the trendy tooling for my personal projects, even if it's just a simple website. Why? Because that's an opportunity for me to learn new stuff.

I can't use React at work, but I don't want to stagnate either. That's why I'll always be using the most ridiculous trendy technologies for side projects.

I do think that's how most of frontend developers live nowadays.

igvadaimon··on Language Trends on GitHub
Well, JavaScript has already gotten the first place. It doesn't get any 'steeper' than that.

igvadaimon··on Why we don't sell ads – WhatsApp Blog
It's not "alternative to whatsapp", it's "alternative app monetization strategy".
igvadaimon··on [dead]
React has all these features already.
igvadaimon··on Relaxing with Runcible, the circular 'anti-smartphone'
Because its round and made of wood? ;)
igvadaimon··on Relaxing with Runcible, the circular 'anti-smartphone'
"It runs on Mozilla's Firefox OS platform and lets you make calls, ask for directions and browse the web. So when you're heading out to grab dinner with friends, you can leave your smartphone at home and avoid the temptations of Facebook, Twitter and Snapchat."

I don't understand these two sentences at all. If you can browse the web, how does it help "avoid the temptation"?

It's a nice looking round thingy, but "anti-smartphone"?..

igvadaimon··on ForerunnerDB – Lightweight JavaScript Database with Persistence and Data-Binding
So it's like PouchDB, but doesn't sync?
igvadaimon··on Introduction to Facebook's Flux architecture
I am currently using alt: https://github.com/goatslacker/alt

It's very small and removes boilerplate, but still isomorphic.

igvadaimon··on Sonny – Fast single page app engine
Well, React was designed to be isomorphic. I found it pretty simple.
igvadaimon··on Sonny – Fast single page app engine
truly so. I'm currently developing an isomorphic app with react/flux and pre-rendering on the server is really a revelation.
