majky538on The global chip shortage is starting to have consequences

Same for bicycles manufacturers. At the beginning, nobody knew what's gonna be in the future, low orders and then high demand.

majky538on I don't want to do front-end anymore

I agree, but anyway as mentioned, it's about tooling. When I compare creating JS SPA vs. for example .NET MVC website, with JS you will get awesome SPA (oh wait, do you really need that?) - easier way to create dynamic stuff but with cost of bigger complexity which probably comes in ways as project management, DevOps, testing.

I was developing some SPAs in Angular, React and of course there are some great things but I do not see the pure reason because of additional complexity to develop everything in this "modern" way.

majky538on What Is React: A Visual Introduction for Beginners

It's Facebook library, not FE framework, enough for me. Never spent so much time configuring Angular app as React one.

majky538on Ask HN: As a developer what are your aha moments?

Spending so much time on meetings, especially awesome agile scrum - standups and even when working in probably 5th company, business processes do not work well, people deal with same problems of work organization. For me as developer, this kills my productivity and annoys me sometimes when it's just to much in a week.

majky538on Facebook executives shut down efforts to make the site less divisive

I remember content from friends, then no related content when Facebook was testing feed changes and now, it's mostly based on meme pictures and group posts. I forgot that there are any "friends".

majky538on Ask HN: How do you manage self-study?

As you said, you feel overwhelmend. For example,I usually code my side-project in the evening, after 8 hrs of coding at my job.

I have a goal to create working application. Is it a joy for me or just another work that takes my time and gives me nothing? Sometimes, I don't know. I keep working with different technologies, tools so it's not the same as at the job. When i feel, that's not a joy, I am tired or whatever, i don't force myself to do that.

Rather than "learning" programming language, you can write down an idea for the sample app and start working on that. Rather than reading a book, you can watch a video or you can go read outside.

Create schedule, couple hours per week, break your loop.

majky538on Netflix's UX design is keeping people up at night

Oh, you are quite right. I've just created Netflix account, exploring movies - series based on images - trailers when browsing with mouse and so on. Anyway, I miss basic filter..

Watched 2 seasons of 2 different series in less than 48 hours.

majky538on Ask HN: What is the point of algorithm-heavy interviews?

Think twice before getting hired. Some companies are like nice looking Instagram profile, but behind the scene it just sucks.
