Wow, congrats on insulting people who use a different programming language than you. You really give an air of professionalism in your speeches.

But its the lack of communication on your front that would make people fail your test, not their lack of competence.

Anyone can summon an obscure puzzle and claim its easy when they know the key.

> who use a different programming language than you

isn't this a bit reductive?

Sympathy for the interviewer. Well guess what, you're not going to find much luck pulling this yarn.

Some interviewers get the fist. And that's just the way it goes.

If I'm supposed to play toady to this dog and pony show we're trying put on together, don't step in front of me with some condescending question, that we both know is cherry-picked trivia. You design questions to stump people, knock them off balance, introduce a choke, and project a facade of superiority, when we both know that's not fair play, and you expect something other than contempt?

I'm not reciting all the state capitals, every U.S. holiday on the calendar, and every county in the state of California for you. Try your luck with the next applicant.

You can't expect me to roll over as subordinate, when I'm looking right at you, and you and I both know that the canned question you just asked is total bullshit. Sorry, now I know you're a follower, not a leader, and I won't be led by you. Interview over.

And besides, do you really believe that passive aggression, as a personality trait, isn't a possibility, simply because it wasn't on display during that particular interview. Most smart people do have a passive aggressive mean streak, because it's a tactic, not a personality trait. It's in everyone's tool kit, and smart people use it in anger. If it gets used on you, especially when everyone in the room was trying to make a good first impression, maybe you did something to provoke that.

that seems like a false dichotomy. you behave as cruel and abusive as you do because it's within you to behave that way.

Or we can use our own component system, which we created ourselves at least 10 years ago, and not use React at all.

When you are into programming, like we are, you think of these things long before some big company tells you what to do.

sadly we aren't all as smart and worthy as you are, and don't have a decade old react-like hanging around. some of us even prefer the idea of using an open source library for the various benefits of doing so.

>oh. it would seem this is more about you feeling impressed with yourself, rather than making substantive arguments.

That is my argument. It's simple logic. If I can get good results without React, I've proven that React is not necessary to get good results.

that seems like a trivially true statement, if not an outright tautology.

>When people tried to write big enough applications with JavaScript, they found out, that it was a mess.

I have written huge, complex, graphics-intensive applications with Javascript, and that was not my experience at all. So maybe it's not the language, but the person using it that is responsible for the mess.

> It's similar to WinAPI. Sure, you can write C with WinAPI and it's enough for simple applications.

That is a very far-fetched comparison, in my view.

> Has nothing to do with React.

Then we might not speak of the same React. Angular and Vue have very rich documentation which makes tutorial unnecessary.

React doesn't have that, so it's very likely "has to do" with React.

abiox · 7 years ago
vue and angular have plenty of tutorials. react is much more popular (at the moment), which is why one would notice material for it more often.

OPAM and Dune (jbuilder) work very nicely IME. You don't need to touch a Makefile, you don't need to build anything by hand outside of the package manager.
abiox · 7 years ago
i wish there was something like `jbuilder new`, but alas. my current impression is that everything in ocaml-land wants you to spend time writing cryptic configuration files and inventing bespoke project structures.
