Hillary would have been far worse.. Trump is under every microscope waiting for an impeachable offense.. Hillary would have had full immunity to take bribes as she pleases.
You say this as if Hillary would have been so much better.. No, this ones on all the people who continue to stick their head in the sand and try to blame the other team.
Let me tell you, don't worry about it.. You'll use your skills to smoothly transition to something else..
I've been in this industry since copper and telco was hot shit.. I went from doing Telco programming > IT > Web Development > scalable enterprise applications.
Why bother stressing over something you have no control over? Do what you love and the money follows.
There is a difference in engineering and programming. An engineer uses programming to solve an engineering problem. If all you can do is program, you're just not as valuable. Programming is one of many tools I use in my every day job as an engineer.
I think this goes back to being an expert in a "domain". Being able to apply programming to that domain is far more valuable.
React has made me a happier developer and affords me a lifestyle to take care of my family very well. So I'm very thankful for everything that's taken place to bring React to where it is.
I got the same feeling many many years ago when I made the switch from PHP > Rails.
Edit: Why is this being down voted? shrug Must be 2 sad Ember devs... Badum PSSH
Same here, This all seems like a "My JS Lib is better than your JS Lib" fight. So let me say this, React is by far and away the best JS view library out there. I don't need MVC in my fucking view(Hey Ember), and I don't need a entire framework for my view(Hey Angular)..
what about costs of running the application? You're not taking that into account.. I can run my elixir app far cheaper than you can a ruby app for instance. This means I can charge less than my competitors and offer more to my customers.
Releases and deployments with Elixir are still the area that needs most work, but it's nothing that would ever prevent me from using it. I have several in production and once we figured it out, it was easy peasy from there on.
We have some on DO and some on Heroku for clients. Both work well enough.
That's just genservers though right? All of this stuff is just Elixir and generally can be done in Elixir in a few lines of code.
We're experimenting with a truly OTP driven web application right now(No API) where we connect the React app directly to the Elixir backend and only persist to a database on log out. Everything else is persisted in memory and run through genservers which are self healing and self hydrating.
