This non-story is missing the point of Snapchat completely.
Actual snapchat users don't care if their snaps are securely vaporized for all time. This isn't top-secret data that's being sent over the wire, it's selfies and food and drunken antics and bad jokes. They just don't want to deal with the social baggage of having them all easily viewed by Grandma and that weird kid from high school.
I appreciate the work. Nicely done. At the same time, I can't help but think Angular 2 is just moving in a ridiculously extreme direction in every single possible way.
I agree with all your points. The framework has become bloated and is filled with bolted-on hacks. That's what 2.0 is supposed to address.
But I've also found that I'm very productive using it. Sure it's not perfect, but Angular is popular for a reason. I'll probably be giving React a try sometime soon, but there's problems in every framework. I don't think any of these points are serious enough to warrant a complete boycott
I think the problem is that it is unlearned too easily. Being forced to modify your thinking to succeed in school or the workforce is what stifles this kind of creativity. I feel like I used to have gifts like that, but somehow lost it along the way
Sounds very similar to my own high school experience actually..never really cared, never stressed, smoked a lot of weed, had a lot of different friends, partied, had fun. Could have gotten more girls I suppose, but I'm making up for it now. Girls just love software engineers don't they?
What about Caribou ie Dan Snaith? The dude has PhD in Mathematics and an unbelievably talented musician...yeah I don't really know where I was going disproving your example
