Is the trim required for it to be 'bulletproof' though?

All that's left is to make it road-proof!

So he's basically publishing a 20 pages philosophical logorrhea to make the simple point that developers should pay more attention to the difference between a web SITE and a web APP and choose their stack accordingly, which is a totally fair point to which I 100% agree with.

What I fail to see is how React is responsible for any of this because this sort of reads like his wife left him for one of the React engineer or some shit.

Another thing is that almost every complaint I see about React (except bundle size maybe, but who cares?) exists in the APP context.

If your use case is a simple website, React is just a nice templating lib and you won't need to use any of the things people generally dislike about it. That AND your experience when you inevitably have to add some interactivity is going to be 100x better than vanilla JS.

As for the build step, there are many turn key solutions nowadays that "just work". And isn't a small build step a plus, compared to being at the mercy of a typo breaking everything? To me that piece of mind if worth a lot, compared to whatever manual testing you'd have to do if you work with "text" files.

What does this do?

    operator {min, max} := Math
    value min ceiling max floor
Is that a declaration or an invocation?

>A large amount of those people are very young, at an age where you don't really pick your options solely on their super long term consequences.

And they will continue to be if there are never any consequences.

Stop bailing people out of problems they make for themselves and people will start learning to not make those problems.

Human beings are not stupid machines who see others put their hand in the fire, getting burned, then they put their own hands in the fire get burned, and then keep doing it over and over again.

Most will stop when they see others get burned, others still will stop when they get burned, and a small minority will stop once there is no hand left to burn.

There is a reason why many parts of the world will ticket you for not wearing your seatbelt. There is a reason you cannot (could not? crypto changed a lot) do advanced stock trading without a license. Why gambling is regulated, etc.

We don't want people to hurt themselves, because we have humanity and because they become a drain on society.

I find it hard to be that black and white with phenomenons like OF, that emerge from a mix of societal and technological advancement.

There are grey zones and not everyone is fortunate enough to be taught to be responsible. Not everyone can go through life without feeling desperate and resort to doing things they would not be proud of.

We should try to educate and protect people instead of pointing internet fingers at them.

Well, those civilians who can think for themselves, especially about the consequences of their actions, are clearly in advantage. I am lacking empathy for those who are apparently so hooked up to the here-and-now that they seem to ignore the future. If you sell your body, most societies will punish you. Thats fine, societies have all sorts of norms we all need to learn.

A large amount of those people are very young, at an age where you don't really pick your options solely on their super long term consequences.

Most people are going to be "stupid" in their early adulthood, failing and adjusting is a big part of it. Unfortunately, some of those decisions will stick more than others and sex work is very sticky (zing).

Wow, I have been using git for ages but I did not know about this. I was relying on magit (for Emacs) and git-cola.

You can also discard changes that way, e.g.:

    git checkout -p -- .

Or the fact that people continue to do a lot of development in these languages would suggest that the benefits are more than marginal, and the lack of a few editor features is not such a terrible hindrance.

Strongly typed languages have a higher barrier of entry and require an engineering mindset. That's anecdotal but if I think of exceptionally competent people I've worked with on JS projects, all of them have spent time building and advocated for properly typed code bases.

The other camp "just hates it" because it "slows them down", as it seems they spend most of their time fighting the types but never get to the point where you get that huge return on investment.
