If you think React is complicated stay far far away from Angular.

A GraphQL specific state management library can't take the crown from a generic state management library. By the time GarphQL gains "wide adoption" (like REST) we'll be 2+ frameworks past React.

Sure, I'd guess the majority of engineering roles above junior are through networking of some sort. "Surely if you have skills"... well, what % of programmers out there fit this description? It's even weirder to think that every software developer has enough skills to have people knocking at their door.

In my situation I moved to a new city for family reasons with zero connections. I had a stable job working remote but put some feelers out and found a better job in my city by randomly applying.

It's actually weird you find it weird.

Mozilla made 530M in 2016 - they're a company. Firefox is is a strategical business decision. Their interest in the web is the exact same interest as Google's in the web. $$$.

_Started_ working on it late December? That's an incredible amount of progress for less than 4 months.

I disagree - not adapting to the latest language paradigms because you find it more difficult is code smell.

About what, caffeine? There's no difference between drinking a coke or a 30mg caffeine pill except the caffeine pill is better for you.

I had a cancerous mole removed in 2013 (melanoma stage 1a) and my dermatologist basically told me tanning is NOT ok and was never ok.

"There is no such thing as a healthy suntan. Any change in your natural skin color is a sign of skin damage. Evidence suggests tanning greatly increases your risk of developing skin cancer. The increase in skin pigment called melanin, which causes your skin to tan, is a sign of damage. Once skin is exposed to UV radiation, it increases the production of melanin in an attempt to protect the skin from further damage. The increase in melanin may cause your skin tone to darken over the next 48 hours."

There are billions of things that have changed this year compared to last year and you're attributing your lack of getting a cold to Vitamin D?

I've had an itch to try GraphQL but after seeing the "doFetchMore()" method here https://github.com/rwieruch/react-graphql-github-apollo/blob... I'm a bit put off.

I follow HN pretty regularly and I had no idea. I thought Tor was the best bet for privacy. How is this garbage?

Your email and support productivity was increased 10x, really?

What are the "clear best practices" for Angular? I'm just starting in Angular 5 and I'm starting down the ngrx path. From what I can tell there's many different ways to structure the project and ngrx is in version hell - the current docs on master reflect an unreleased version.

It's not that simple. Higher paid employees who received raises organically or by asking (based off of this article) are less likely to get cut compared to employees who threaten with separate offers.

Really? I've been pretty critical of Bitcoin on /r/bitcoin and haven't been banned.

It's like "machine learning" and every other buzzword. People expect "machine learning" to just solve all the problems in every industry. It's great tech but it has limited use cases.

A lot of people? People continued to buy all the way up to 19.5. The thing about Bitcoin is, almost everyone expected a drop, no one knew when or how high it would go before it dropped... or how far it will drop.

Everyone also expected it to drop at 5k, 10, 15k and it just didn't happen to a large extent. I stupidly bought in at 10k and got lucky to make some money but others stupidly bought in at 20k.

The only thing definitive about Bitcoin is that it will go up..and down. Claiming to know how high, how fast, or how low is BS.

Was Flash on Android bad? I guess I never really noticed. I imagine it performed worse but don't those things fix themselves over time?

It's like OS X or Windows banning Electron Apps because they're horrible compared to native.

The point is that Bitcoin doesn't scale well enough for Amazon. If Amazon chooses a lesser known cryptocurrency or creates their own, Bitcoin will suffer.

So pay the really good developers higher based off of what they deserve to get paid, not where they live. The problem is that there are bad developers who want to live in expensive places and great developers who prefer to live in non-expensive places.

The correct time to buy is when the price is low. Is $11,000 low?

(No one knows)

For what it's worth, I didn't find your comment condescending at all and was puzzled at that remark.

Do you have any more proof? You keep saying it "IS" Goo Create but based off of what? These screenshots are similar, sure... but far from proof.

It looks like you have experience in the industry, it'd be helpful if you laid out a bit more explanation because clearly you have more info.

I didn't say that one shouldn't mentor or receive feedback. I actually think if you disagree with the team lead you should let them know and then let them make the decision.

If they hear your opinion and still go a different way, that's fine - roll with it. It shouldn't require every individual on the team to be convinced, that's a massive waste of time.

I disagree. Team leads are chosen for a reason and when they clearly ask for a task, it needs to be done without the wasted effort of having to convince them.

> If it's so easy, why didn't the lead just do it himself instead of making a problem out of it?

It's called delegation. If there are 15 easy tasks, a team lead can delegate them out using his or her judgement and have them completed quicker than doing it themselves. If each of those easy tasks has to go through a "convincing phase" it's no longer worth it.

This seems like terrible advice. I'm highly against borrowing money or receiving investment money from friends / family. The risk simply isn't worth the reward.

To be fair many doctors are just starting to make a real salary and can be a half a million in debt by 35.

It's not rocket science. Younger devs can be paid less and generally will voluntarily work longer hours for free.

Sure, you need some senior developers mixed in as well but young energetic devs are more bang for the buck.

What do you mean by "largely hidden"? Nothing in this blog post is hidden or secret.

That's kind of silly. Every single thing that happens in politics is "new" at one point, so therefore we should be able to post every new political thing?
