This really getting a little too much, React Hooks people.

First, classes are BAD. We can make component functions stateful not just pure, enter Hooks.

Now, event emitters are BAD, even DOM events, enter Hooks.

A question I receive regularly is there anything you recommend that teach the basic principles of graphic design.

We’re writing a JSON stack as part of .NET Core 3.0. We’ll have a reader/writer, a JSON DOM and a full serializer. It’s the first JSON parser I’ve seen that supports async without a huge performance hit and I haven’t seen any third party json library do this.

🔥Dev Tip: Use the strategy pattern in place of if/else structures to make your code easier to understand and easier to modify later on.

There's a difference between computer science and software engineering. Real projects tend to need a combination of both. Companies will often confuse this, advertising/interviewing for a computer scientist, when they really want a software engineer and vice versa.

The people who program Mathematica must have brains the size of an industrial kitchen.

@jweisber Yes but I feel like they need a UX rockstar to touch it up a bit so when it calls, say, the Wolfram cloud we know that it is actually doing something instead of appearing frozen for a few seconds —“little” things like that😶😇

@saronyitbarek the ‘dirty secret’ of computer science is the case study of algorithms in the same manner that lawyers study previous legal actions—my physics background clearly shows me that “too much” math is not the issue: it is finding the joy studying recipes to formal problems🍱

RIP Florence Knoll Bassett - incredible life story and a pioneer in the field of design. We may be have misgivings about open office plans of late, part of the problem is a lack of attention to detail (common to all of modernism) up to her standards.

A clueless jerk said women were in charge of programming when it was tedious, manual labor. In fact, women liberated themselves of the manual tedium inventing assemblers (Kathleen Booth) and compilers (Grace Hopper). Then programming got easier and men took over.

One thing that sucks about getting old in tech is that you see a lot of your colleagues become the people shooting down new ideas and trashing whatever the next thing is that might displace them. They become the same people we had to fight against when we came up.

I've gotten so used to editing podcasts that I can now tell what word I'm going to say by the way I breathe.

Idk what to do with this information, just wanted to share ... k bye.

@saronyitbarek This is a self realization of your sense of soul and rhythm along with your technical abilities, making you an actual human being—you dig?😁😇

@BryanWilhite I dig 😎

@soniagupta504 Too bad for me you have no idea who I am but welcome to LA anyway🍣🍕😇

@dataandme The worst thing I am capable of calling child is “big baby”—so whenever she says that just whisper under your breath “big baby: bringer of babiness” and you will feel right as rain😁😇

@Wintermute21 It is a red flag when the advice your new organization gives you is not helpful and/or not reflecting what you are seeing in realtime😬
