Great article!

Kent is a great resource in the frontend community, giving a way tons of content for free, including several very popular open spurce libs. Nor sure why you’re being so negative towards somebody you obviously don’t know

Love the name!

Calendar general here Please let me know if you have any questions or comments to the content.

You can find the calendars at https://bekk.christmas

Author here! If you've already gotten a good start with React within the last couple of months - what did YOU use?

If you haven't tried out React yet (but do front end development), what is keeping you?

Author here! What are some of your CSS "what the hell" moments?

Jesus almighty that is a lot of licenses. No wonder MIT has just become the unquestioned default.

Gonna bookmark this one for Christmas break. Thanks!

Wow that was super cool to follow from beginning to end. I’ve always wanted to create art this way, perhaps with a physical user interface to tweak its parameters

Seems like the fork was more for the way to govern the project and less about the tech itself

We saw a steady flow of traffic all through last year on a few .christmas domains from last year's advent calendars.

I don't think they seem stale, but perhaps out of season Either way, we're committed to keep this content online for the foreseeable future, and write a new edition next year if people find it interesting.

TL;DR: A company is publishing a lot of articles through 12 different advent calendars this holiday season.

I love how he's going from being very proud of BigInteger to being really excited about BigDecimal

Cool interview!

why would the TLD disappear?

Kotlin seems to have a lot of the tooling required to make games pretty quickly. That's not to say it's not a massive undertaking! The demo at the bottom is just mindblowing

We're considering it for our design system right now, but we're not sure how well it'll work with conventional commits and commitizen.

Yarn wins by default because their API lets me write "yarn do-my-thing" instead of "npm run do-my-thing", and it's still quicker.

Totally agree with the author that NPM has become a much better alternative than it was though. And now, with Github releasing their own package repository, we might see even more improvements.

Nice to see somebody's finally trying to add a layer of abstraction on top of the many proprietary serverless function SDKs <3

Spending the time to add useful display names for our tests has been one of the greatest investments I've ever done. Also, we have no need for those extremely_long_test_function_names_that_try_to_explain_the_test()

It's a very... elegant way of programming.

I once interviewed for Google and got asked how to do this

Saved replies have saved (no pun intended) me so much time. Great advice

I'll forward your request to the authors!

Interesting approach!

Just gotta say - Hacktober was a really cool event this year. It was a good opportunity to help different projects out, and to get more into open source work in general.

Hopefully you can choose to donate your t-shirt money towards environmental work or whatever next year.

Thanks for the reply - the author (who doesn't have a user here) agreed completely, and the article has been changed to reflect that.

Perhaps we'll get a release for Christmas or something? I empathise with this point of view though. Luckily, it's in the "experimental" release branch, so you can at least test it out on your side projects and get used to the APIs.

react.christmas is on its third year of publishing 24 articles in 24 days every holiday season. :)

I think their move to monetize by providing paid products like premium themes and support services can be an interesting approach for open source in general. I'd rather pay for something extra, than pay for the generic open source product
