Wait how in the world does a React carousel component have over 400 deps…

May I suggest 「these」 instead?

Are there any orgs that don’t serve the company?

I respect the difference of opinion but it's hard not to think Mearsheimer has been proven wrong about Putin's motivations by this invasion. It's basically inconceivable that the full-scale invasion of Ukraine is really in Russia's best interests. At this point it's liable to destroy their economy and encourage the remaining non-NATO states that border them to join NATO. It has solidified and reinvigorated opposition to Russian interests in the West. As of now it looks like a blunder.

edit: to say nothing as well of the anti-war protests that are happening in the streets of Moscow and across Russia. If they continue and grow they will pose a risk to regime stability.

He is completely incorrect about the purpose of enums. It isn't to simplify changing all locations of an occurrence. It is for defining domain concepts. It is to communicate to other code users, here is every allowed permutation of this type.

Why do you find them self documenting?

Usually it's just

    enum Method {
      Get = "GET"
      // ...
    }

I usually always put doc comments on enums and their variants.

Regarding why numeric ones are (only sometimes) more useful than string values: bit flags comes to mind, faster comparison of numbers than strings (not always tho... unless this is a misconception, but I don't believe so), you mentioned smaller bundle size already.

As for "auto" enums: the fact they're numbers now is an implementation detail. They could be unique Symbols in a future versions of typescript. You can do that manually now too, but I'm talking about the automatic (without assignment) syntax.

Regarding article: I... Half-agree. But I'd not completely disregard/avoid enums. At the very least, they can be useful to help model some behaviours/states in more readable, accessible, and coherent way (Other comments went into a more in-depth defence of enums, thought).

   enum Method {
      Get = "method/GET"
      // ...
    }

Another swing and miss.

I don't think this is so hard. The pandemic is waking people to the reality of their own mortality.

Suppose you're working a job in a big, highly dysfunctional organization. Most of us who have been there know that these jobs often pay well -- but in trade, you're selling your precious hours to execute a random series of essentially meaningless events (and under pressure to get it done).

Now add a pandemic. You were probably already having a quiet existential crisis, feeling that the insanity of your work environment is no way to let your life pass by. You want your life to mean something, but it isn't fulfilling. Now, people you know are passing away much sooner than expected. Thoughts about the eventuality of your own death are really tipping the scales.

Do you just bury your nose and keep going on? Or find out what else is out there?
