What happens when the Rockstar programmer needs time off because of a death in the family? Is Hastings okay with that if it's in the middle of an important project that can't easily be taken on by others? If great programmers are limited by supply I suppose he has no choice but to keep them.

Used to work there. Yes, he is. Absolutely. Without a second of doubt.

Not being familiar with "Web Components" (vs. web components), could an expert chime in with thoughts on why they don't appear to be catching on? That is, why are frameworks like React and Vue not leveraging this native browser capability?

Long story short: They solve a problem that is attractive to solve in a way that is not super useful for how most people want to develop an application. They're client side only (in practice) and poorly compatible. The developer problem they set out to solve is mostly solved elsewhere, better, by other frameworks. What those frameworks don't solve is usually not the parts that are useful about Web Components.

Which is a shame - as there are some genuinely good ideas in the set of tech that makes up Web Components. They just aren't very attractive to work with.

I kind of feel they need to scrap it and come up with a compelling v2 that uses what we know now.

Interesting. I had it in my head that Netflix was a pure Java shop. Was I wrong in the first place, or has something changed?

abritinthebay · 6 years ago

We're everything!

JS is heavily used, as is Groovy, Java, Python, C and C ++, etc.

Depends on the project and the team. We're not about limiting people, but the choice should be justifiable (like... Brainfuck is probably not ok)

My parents have a basement overflowing of stuff that is full of potential utility, so I think that the joy aspect is to provide a different view point so people let go more easily.

abritinthebay · 7 years ago

Potential utility is different to actual utility though. Is that stuff actually useful to them right now? Or in general? If the answer is no then it has zero utility.
