I get the feeling that all "serious" businesses have manual processes for publicly facing status pages, for political reasons.

I don't like it.

“ I look for readable, maintainable code, and try to make sure the writer is doing appropriate testing. But whether or not it works and is correct, that's not my job, that's the developer's job.”

And I personally refuse to work with this style of workflow anymore

Does the code do what it needs? That’s objective and it either does or doesn’t. I can manage that kind of review.

Does the code look pretty enough? This is subjective and guarantees i’ll waste hours of my life every month bc someone else felt anxious/neurotic/masochistic and wanted to dump a chore on me.

No thanks, if you have style guidelines i’ll follow them. I’m not your whipping boy that will ask how high when you say jump.

‘…readable, maintainable [and tested]’, ie. if someone else needs to modify or remove this code in the future, will there be friction?

I work on React Aria. Adobe is a big company and there are many teams using different technologies. In general, some very new parts of creative cloud chose to use web components, but the majority of teams are using React, and I don't foresee that changing anytime soon. It's definitely not a company wide shift if you got that impression from the Photoshop article. Ideally we'd collaborate more, but... big company silos.

Thanks for the response and great work on React Aria. That makes sense. To be honest the impression probably came more from tweets about the article than the article itself https://mobile.twitter.com/search?q=https%3A%2F%2Fweb.dev%2F...

I can see the appeal of web components when your interop issues are as large Adobe’s must be. On the other hand if huge portions of your apps are canvas / wasm then web components’ DOM-centric component model might feel awkward or constraining

I was under the impression Adobe was investing heavily into Web Components. I gather that didn't work out well?

I would love to hear from one of the Adobe team members about this. Are there separate React teams and WC teams? What’s that dynamic like? It feels like Photoshop on the web has been framed as ‘powered by web components’, rather than WCs being a minor detail. This post mentions “islands of React code” as if React is a legacy thing they have to put up with https://web.dev/ps-on-the-web/

Less impressive, but they moved a historic tavern in Auckland, NZ, recently to make way for a cut & cover motorway tunnel.

Pricy, but I'm glad they kept the landmark.

They moved the Museum Art Hotel in Wellington in 1993. At 3000 tonnes it's half the weight of the Zurich building, but they moved it 120m, which is twice as far. Pretty impressive!

I am a bit sceptical about this startup.

Two friends interviewed there and both weren't impressed.

One of them is the best developer I know, with decades of cutting edge AAA games engine development experience, including in the MMO space and his words were: "they have no clue about games development and don't have much more than vapourware"

I hope he is wrong though and that the company is successful. They seem to be one of the few games related companies to compete with finance on compensation packages in London.

bnjm · 10 years ago
Interesting, did he mention any specifics? They seem to be aiming to create a general platform that's not specific to games. They also do have a few marketing / business managers which might be why it sounded like vapourware? As far as I can tell they have a lot of talent in the engineering department.
