Being single and working from home for me was isolating and I found myself gradually becoming more seclusive while wanting to be social. When I was living with family I found myself wishing for more seclusion. In the article I try to write more of the abstract :)
Proxy is nice but the scope is very limited if you tend to avoid metaprogramming.
One use I've found is for library maintainers - a way to expose a large API without taking a hit for requiring the whole thing. We use it to consume parts of that API without having to require all the dependencies and subdependencies.
Love Apollo - they're a great team with many of great open source offerings. Apollo link state excites me because it unites remote and local data under a single source of truth. As a long time Redux fan, it will be nice to have one less layer and dependency to debug. GraphQL as a uniform layer for accessing that source of truth is in my mind, a Redux-killer.
Bragging about first response metrics is a little disingenuous when most of those are automated replies. To answer the question, support is still a disaster and why I left Coinbase last month.
Modern PHP is great but it still has the same inconsistent API. I did PHP for many years and had to look up the manual all the time because functions have different conventions for arguments.
I disagree and actually like it in principle. Languages of any kind change, and this to me feels just like spoken language change.
If enough people establish convention - why break it? A proposal that goes against convention is already under such scrutiny. I don't believe "smoosh" in this case is any better than "flatten" but I agree with the motivation and that's far more important than one function name.
Why is this a surprise? Google's has shown a pattern that they don't care about your Android hardware since they partnered with HTC and released their first branded phone.
Not since I discovered GraphQL. It's hard to imagine any other abstraction on top of REST APIs that packs as much robust functionality in something so easy to use.
If I have a MoviePass I can go to any theatre. That means I can go watch a movie with my friend who lives in the Bay area, or my Grandmother who lives in Arizona. Your question, "Why would I drive further to see a movie?" is exactly why multi-chain subscription is superior. Because I don't always go to one theatre in one city.
Support between browsers can be iffy. I had a grid implementation on cole.codes and it looked perfect on Chrome but disappeared entirely from Firefox. It wasn't supported at all in Safari at the time.
You will need fallbacks. Flexbox isn't going anywhere.
That argument is akin to saying "let's strip the regulations because ___ wasn't so bad before."
Should it be terrible in order for us to realize when regulations are in our best interest? Should we go back to cars without seatbelts because at one point it wasn't so bad? Should we de-regulate smoking because it wasn't really so bad in the 40's?
