I graduated high school at the start of the GFC and I was pretty scared but everything turned out fine. If push comes to shove, there's always America.

Lots of websites still use Prototype.js. Magento still has it as a dependency. Don't want to break the web!

Facebook set a precedent in their open source licensing rules where users of their libraries aren't allowed to sue them for patent infringement.

I disagree. That's too magic for my liking. I like Laravel's routing solution where you have to manually map a route to a controller action. You can set route groups and restrict middleware to specific routes and stuff so pretty powerful!

I disagree. I think America started experiencing problems after 9/11 when they went into two expensive and unnecessary wars. Stop invading other countries and you guys can start rebuilding your own!

This Matt Warren character is pretty hardcore. His passion for .NET is pretty inspirational!

There's lots of people without jobs?

> what's the alternative for small-to-medium React applications that still need to store state?

I've found that with small React apps, you normally organise each component to be responsible for handling its own state.

If you need a global shared state but your app isn't large enough for Redux then lots of people pass callbacks down to child components as parameters. True story.

I have never heard anybody say that Angular 2+ is a joy to work with before. What about it do you like?

The thing is that most React developers don't actually think React is that complex at all.

I dunno, if the UK can pull off smaller government then they might continue to be attractive to businesses chafing from the high regulations and taxes of the EU.

I'm a pretty big fan of Scott Hanselman!

I don't think it's had much of an effect to be honest. Angular 2 (which has TypeScript going on) isn't even stable yet and seems to have lost a lot of mindset compared to React (which doesn't have TypeScript going on).
